Bleached film

The number of protons extracted from the film during coloration depends on the width of the potential step under consideration. As can be seen in the formulation of Fig. 26 an additional valence state change occurs at 1.25 Vsce giving rise to another proton extraction. The second proton exchange may explain the observation by Michell et al. [91] who determined a transfer of two electrons (protons) during coloration. Equation (5) is well supported by XPS measurements of the Ir4/ and Ols levels of thick anodic iridium oxide films emersed at different electrode potentials in the bleached and coloured state. Deconyolution of the Ols level of an AIROF into the contribution of oxide (O2-, 529.6 eV) hydroxide, (OH, 531.2 eV) and probably water (533.1 eV) indicates that oxide species are formed during anodization (coloration) on the expense of hydroxide species. The bleached film appears to be pure hydroxide (Fig. 27). 

There are two methods to achieve reversal of the image after the bleach bath. The first is to re-expose the developed and bleached film to fight, and the second is to use chemical reversal. Both methods will work with modem emulsions but chemical reversal provides more consistent results. However, chemical reversal baths are usually formulated for specific emulsions and are compounded from hard to obtain organic chemicals. Therefore, light reversal is more practical for most small volume darkrooms. 

State was attained. After UV-light irradiation, about 80% of the absorbance at 580 nm was recovered. The conversion of 80% from 2a to 2b was almost the same as that in the solution phase. The conversion of the film prepared from 2a solution was 40%, which is half of the conversion of the film prepared from a solution of the closed-ring form isomer. This difference in the maximum conversion to 2b is caused by the conformation of the open-ring form isomers. The isomer has two conformations, anti-parallel and parallel conformations. The former is photoactive whereas the latter is inactive, and half of the open-ring form isomers are in the inactive parallel conformations in solution. Half of 2a molecules in the film prepared from 2a solution are in the inactive parallel conformation. The conformational change is difficult in the amorphous film below Tg. In contrast, 2a in the bleached film prepared from the solution of 2b is in an anti-parallel conformation, and the maximum conversion to 2b at the photostationary state is about two times larger than that in the film prepared from 2a solution. A similar increase in the conversions in the film prepared from the closed-form isomer has been observed in amorphous diarylethenes, 3-10. It should be noted that heat treatment of the bleached 7a film at a temperature above Tg resulted in a decrease in the maximum conversion, which indicates that conformational change takes place at temperatures above Tg. 

Here, R d2)k2=o is the reflectance of the film-covered substrate of the frequency at which the film material is transparent and AR = R d2)k2=o R(d2)k2>o is the band intensity (Fig. 1.13fc), R d2)s2 denotes the reflectance of a thin film of the dielectric constant 2. whereas R d2)s denotes the reflectance of the so-called electromagnetically bleached film [119, 120], which is the same thin film but at the frequency where the film is transparent, that is, 2 = 00 (1.3.6°). The band intensity unit permits quantifying the spectra of layers without preliminary recording of the substrate spectrum. 

Confirmation of cationic (H3O+) involvement in the charging process for anodic ir02 was obtained by McIntyre et al. (90) who examined the composition of oxidized and reduced films using RBS and nuclear reaction analysis of deuterated specimens. The average D lr ratio was found to be 1.51 in oxidized and 2.28 in bleached films. The composition of the films was also found to be nonuniform. The interior of the films becomes... 

Water-Soluble Films. Water-soluble films can be produced from such polymers as poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH), methylceUulose, poly(ethylene oxide), or starch (qv) (see Cellulose ethers Polyethers Vinyl polymers). Water-soluble films are used for packaging and dispensing portions of detergents, bleaches, and dyes. A principal market is disposable laundry bags for hospital use. Disposal packaging for herbicides and insecticides is an emerging use. 

The most successful of these products contain high ratios of VP to DMAEMA and are partially quatemized with diethyl sulfate (Polyquaternium 11) (142—144). They afford very hard, clear, lustrous, nonflaking films on the hair that are easily removed by shampooing. More recendy, copolymers with methyl vinyl imidazoliiim chloride (Polyquaternium 16) (145) or MAPTAC (methacrylamidopropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride) (Polyquaternium 28) have been introduced. Replacement of the ester group in DMAEMA with an amide analog as in Polyquaternium 28 results in a resin resistant to alkaline hydrolysis and hence greater utility in alkaline permanent-wave and bleach formulations (see Quaternary ammonium compounds). 

Further Preparative Reactions. When pulps are to be used in the production of materials that do not retain the original fiber stmcture, such as rayon or ceUulose acetate film, the lignin, hemiceUulose, and other components must be reduced to the lowest possible concentrations. A surfactant (ionic or nonionic) is often added during a hot, weakly alkaline extraction step after chlorination. Another approach, sometimes used in addition to the surfactant step, is to treat the pulp with 6—10% NaOH after most of the oxidative bleaching is finished. This treatment removes most of the hemiceUulose. In most purification plants the final stage includes use of sulfuric acid chelators are optional. 

Thin films of photochromic silver complex oxides were prepared by anodic oxidation of silver metal films (15). Complex oxides, such as Ag2V04, Ag SiO, and Ag2P04, darkened by exposure to visible light, but required heating to 150—250°C for thermal bleaching. 

Poly(vinyl alcohol) is employed for a variety of purposes. Film cast from aqueous alcohol solution is an important release agent in the manufacture of reinforced plastics. Incompletely hydrolysed grades have been developed for water-soluble packages for bath salts, bleaches, insecticides and disinfectants. Techniques for making tubular blown film, similar to that used with polyethylene, have been developed for this purpose. Moulded and extruded products which combine oil resistance with toughness and flexibility are produced in the United States but have never become popular in Europe. 

In a falling film evaporator (4) a water-paraffin mixture is distilled off and completely pumped back to the reactor. The resulting product is separated into a 60% sulfuric acid fraction and paraffin-containing alkanesulfonic acid (5), which is bleached by hydrogen peroxide (6). In a stirred vessel (7) the alkanesulfonic acid is neutralized by 50% sodium hydroxide solution until the pH is exactly 7. The composition of the neutralized product is also given in Table 2. 

The paraffin sulfonate melt from the bottoms of the thin film evaporator is mixed with water, cooled, and bleached with hydrogen peroxide (9). After conditioning (10) and defoaming (11), the paraffin sulfonate (alkanesulfonate) is sold as an approximately 65% paste. The specifications are given in Table 6 [7],... 

Thick anodic iridium oxide films are formed by repetitive potential cycling between properly chosen anodic and cathodic limits [89]. The coloration (bleaching) transition is reflected in the cyclic voltammogram by a significant increase (decrease) of the electrode pseudo-capacity at a potential around 0.7 Vsce in acid electrolytes. At potentials above 0.7 V the thick film appears dark blue, while below 0.7 V the film is almost clear.
