A substrate

Besides the material based characteristics, the difference of density of the used particle/substrate combination is a very important criterion. The difference of density influences the contrast of the radiographic tests. Tungsten carbides were used as mechanically resistant particles and titanium based alloys as substrate. The substrate material is marked by an advantageous relation of strength to density. This material is often used in aeronautics, astronautics, and for modification of boundary layers. The density of tungsten carbide (15.7 g/cm ) is about 3.5 times higher than the density of titanium (4.45-4.6 g/cm ). 

The early Escherunoser-Stork results indicated, that stereoselective cyclizations may be achieved, if monocyclic olefins with 1,5-polyene side chains are used as substrates in acid treatment. This assumption has now been justified by many syntheses of polycyclic systems. A typical example synthesis is given with the last reaction. The cyclization of a trideca-3,7-dien-11-ynyl cyclopentenol leads in 70% yield to a 17-acetyl A-norsteroid with correct stereochemistry at all ring junctions. Ozonolysis of ring A and aldol condensation gave dl-progesterone (M.B. Gravestock, 1978 see p. 279f.). 

The same cannot be said about reactions with alkyl halides as substrates The conver Sion of optically active 2 octanol to the corresponding halide does involve a bond to the chirality center and so the optical purity and absolute configuration of the alkyl halide need to be independently established... 

Among compounds other than simple alkyl halides a halo ketones and a halo esters have been employed as substrates m the Gabriel synthesis Alkyl p toluenesul fonate esters have also been used Because phthalimide can undergo only a single alkyl ation the formation of secondary and tertiary amines does not occur and the Gabriel synthesis is a valuable procedure for the laboratory preparation of primary amines...

Euture appHcations may involve use of SiC as substrates for siHcon chips, making use of the high thermal conductivity of SiC and its close thermal expansion match to siHcon. The low density and high stiffness of siHcon carbides may also result in appHcations in space. One such appHcation is for space-based mirrors, making use of the high degree of surface poHsh possible on dense SiC. 

C. uti/is yeast is produced by either fed-batch or continuous processes. Aerated-agitated fermentors range up to 300 m total capacity and ate operated in the same manner as described for S. cerevisiae (2,5). C. utilis is capable of metabolizing both hexose and pentose sugars. Consequendy, papermiU wastes such as sulfite waste Hquot that contain these sugars often ate used as substrates. 

DNA polymerases normally use 3 -deoxynucleotide triphosphates as substrates for polymerization. Given an adequate concentration of substrate, DNA polymerase synthesizes a long strand of new DNA complementary to the substrate. The use of this reaction for sequencing DNA depends on the inclusion of a single 2/3 -dideoxynucleoside triphosphate (ddNTP) in each of four polymerization reactions. The dideoxynucleotides ate incorporated normally in the chain in response to a complementary residue in the template. Because no 3 -OH is available for further extension, polymerization is... 

Polymers are only marginally important in main memories of semiconductor technology, except for polymeric resist films used for chip production. For optical mass memories, however, they are important or even indispensable, being used as substrate material (in WORM, EOD) or for both substrate material and the memory layer (in CD-ROM). Peripheral uses of polymers in the manufacturing process of optical storage media are, eg, as binder for dye-in-polymer layers or as surfacing layers, protective overcoatings, uv-resist films, photopolymerization lacquers for repHcation, etc. 

Aluminum. Some manufacturers also have WORM disks above 5.25 in. on offer with aluminum as substrate material. Eor A1 the same advantages apply as for glass with the exception of a high coefficient of thermal expansion and lacking resistance to aggressive chemical vapors and Hquids. 

Copolymers nd Blends of PC. Numerous co- and terpolymers as well as polymer blends of BPA-PC have been developed and their suitabihty as substrate materials for optical data storage media has been tested (Table 8) (195). From these products, three lines of development have been chosen for closer examination. 

Cyclic Polyolefins (GPO) and Gycloolefin Copolymers (GOG). Japanese and European companies are developing amorphous cycHc polyolefins as substrate materials for optical data storage (213—217). The materials are based on dicyclopentadiene and/or tetracyclododecene (10), where R = H, alkyl, or COOCH. Products are formed by Ziegler-Natta polymerization with addition of ethylene or propylene (11) or so-called metathesis polymerization and hydrogenation (12), (101,216). These products may stiU contain about 10% of the dicycHc stmcture (216). 

Other Polymers. Besides polycarbonates, poly(methyl methacrylate)s, cycfic polyolefins, and uv-curable cross-linked polymers, a host of other polymers have been examined for their suitabiUty as substrate materials for optical data storage, preferably compact disks, in the last years. These polymers have not gained commercial importance polystyrene (PS), poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), cellulose acetobutyrate (CAB), bis(diallylpolycarbonate) (BDPC), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), styrene—acrylonitrile copolymers (SAN), poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAC), and for substrates with high resistance to heat softening, polysulfones (PSU) and polyimides (PI). 

In the calendering method, a PVC compound which contains plasticizers (qv) (60—120 phr), pigments (qv) (0—10 phr), fillers (qv) (20—60 phr), stabilizers (10—30 phr), and other additives, is kneaded with calender roUs at 150—200°C, followed by extmsion between clearance-adjusted roUs for bonding onto the substrate. This method is employed for products with thick PVC layers, ie, of 0.05—0.75 mm thickness. The main plasticizer used is di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DOP). For filler to reduce cost, calcium carbonate is mainly used. A woven or knit fabric made of cotton, rayon, nylon, polyester, and their blend fiber is used as substrate. For foamed vinyl-coated fabrics, the bonded materials are heated in an oven to decompose the foam-blowing... 

III—V nitride compounds suitable for fabricating blue/uv emitters. Also shown is the lattice parameter of various materials proposed as substrates. 

Ru(1PP)2(00)2, at 2000 ppm mthenium and 1-hexene as substrate, gives only an 86% conversion and a 2.4 1 linear-to-branched aldehyde isomer ratio. At higher temperatures reduced conversions occur. High hydrogen partial pressures increase the reaction rate, but at the expense of increased hydrogenation to hexane. Excess triphenylphosphine improves the selectivity to linear aldehyde, but at the expense of a drastic decrease in rate. 

In what may be an example of tme cluster catalysis, [HRU3 (CO) ] shows good catalytic activity and high regioselectivity using propylene as substrate (24,25). Solvent, CO partial pressure, and temperature are important variables. In monoglyme, at 80°C and starting partial pressures for C H, ... 

Single-crystal sUicon has also been employed as substrate material, particularly in multichip module (MGM)-Si appUcations. As a substrate, sUicon offers good thermal conductivity and matches the GTE of the devices mounted on it it does, however, have a relatively high dielectric constant and is very britde. 

Ca.ta.lysis, Iridium compounds do not have industrial appHcations as catalysts. However, these compounds have been studied to model fundamental catalytic steps (174), such as substrate binding of unsaturated molecules and dioxygen oxidative addition of hydrogen, alkyl haHdes, and the carbon—hydrogen bond reductive elimination and important metal-centered transformations such as carbonylation, -elimination, CO reduction, and... 

Currently available proteins are all deficient to greater or lesser extent in one or more of the essential amino acids. The recently advanced plastein reaction (229) has made it possible to use protein itself as substrate and to attach amino acid esters to the protein with high efficiency. By this method, soy bean protein (which is deficient in methionine) has been improved to the extent of having covalently attached L-methionine at 11%. 

End Point vs Kinetic Methods. Samples may be assayed for enzymes, ie, biocatalysts, and for other substances, all of which are referred to as substrates. The assay reactions for substrates and enzymes differ in that substrates themselves are converted into some detectable product, whereas enzymes are detected indirectly through their conversion of a starting reagent A into a product B. The corresponding reaction curves, or plots of detector response vs time, differ for these two reaction systems, as shown in Eigure 2. Eigure 2a illustrates a typical substrate reaction curve Eigure 2b shows a typical enzyme reaction curve (see Enzyme applications).
