Preservation of the topographic ultrastructure of soft biological tissues for examination by scanning electron microscopy has been accomplished in the past by using lengthy epoxy infiltration techniques, or dehydration in ethanol or acetone followed by air drying. Since the former technique requires several days of preparation and the latter technique subjects the tissues to great stress during the phase change encountered during air-drying, an alternate rapid, economical, and reliable method of surface structure preservation was developed. Turnbill and Philpott had used a fluorocarbon for the critical point drying of soft tissues and indicated the advantages of working with fluids having both moderately low critical pressures as well as low critical temperatures. Freon-116 (duPont) which has a critical temperature of 19. 7 C and a critical pressure of 432 psi was used in this study.

The article considers two intermediate products of positive photoresists (1,2-naphthoquinonediazide-(2)-5-sulfonic acid of monosodium salt — Dye M and 1,2-naphthoquinonediazide-(2)-5-sulfochloride — Dye N2) from the standpoint of the tendency to explosive transformation. The experimental values of flash points determined on the OTP setup were 130 °C for Dye M and 95 °C for Dye N2. These values are close to the temperatures of the beginning of intensive exothermic decomposition (132 and 111 °C, respectively) obtained by thermogravimetric analysis. In addition, this analysis showed the presence of exothermic peaks in the studied samples both in the air and in an inert atmosphere of helium, which is a necessary condition for the manifestation of a tendency to explosive transformation. To confirm the possibility of explosive transformation, the flash points of substances were also determined by the calculation method according to the formula, which is a consequence of the problem of thermal explosion during convective heat exchange with the environment, and gave a result close to the experimental one (the values were 138 and 105 °C, respectively). For this calculation the following was used: the kinetic parameters determined by the Kissinger method, the values of the density of substances determined on an automatic pycnometer, as well as the values of the heat of explosive transformation obtained with the help of the Real computer thermodynamic program. The research results confirming the tendency of the investigated compounds to explosive transformation, as well as the critical temperatures, exceeding which is unacceptable, were transferred to the production of FGUP GNTs NIOPIK to create a safe technological process, safe storage and transportation conditions. Considering the accuracy of the measuring devices, the process temperature should not exceed 125 °C for Dye M and 90 °C for Dye N2. The conducted studies and calculations show that the computational and experimental approaches have good convergence, give values in a close temperature range, and increase the reliability of the obtained results.

The structure and properties of castings obtained using various modifi ers are studied. It is shown that the introduction of multicomponent modifi er containing ultrafi ne powders of titanium carbide, titanium carbonitride leads to decrease in grain, uniform distribution of carbide precipitates and increase in mechanical properties. The critical temperatures of phase transformations in the cast ZhS3DK alloy and its analogue with modifi ers are determined by the differential thermal analysis method. The heat treatment condition of modifi ed cast heattemperature alloys of the ZhS3DK type is corrected.
