Appeal No. 1997-2917 Application No. 08/351,697 in an alcohol, in an alcohol amine, such as monoethanolamine. See column 9, lines 38-66. The alcohol amine is useful in rendering insoluble or hardly soluble metal alkoxides used in making a superconductor soluble. See column 10, lines 5-17. The dissolved metal alkoxides are hydrolyzed and sintered to form a superconductor having excellent superconducting characteristics. See column 9, lines 38-46 and column 10, lines 19-36. According to Kobayashi (column 22, lines 56-59): There is no particular restriction as to the sintering conditions (such as the temperature, the number of times and the atmosphere). However, it is usual to employ a temperature of from 700E to 950EC . . . . 7Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
