By the time the next overview of electrical properties of polymers was published (Blythe 1979), besides a detailed treatment of dielectric properties it included a chapter on conduction, both ionic and electronic. To take ionic conduction first, ion-exchange membranes as separation tools for electrolytes go back a long way historically, to the beginning of the twentieth century a polymeric membrane semipermeable to ions was first used in 1950 for the desalination of water (Jusa and McRae 1950). This kind of membrane is surveyed in detail by Strathmann (1994). Much more recently, highly developed polymeric membranes began to be used as electrolytes for experimental rechargeable batteries and, with particular success, for fuel cells. This important use is further discussed in Chapter 11.

Riboflavin was first isolated from whey in 1879 by Blyth, and the structure was determined by Kuhn and coworkers in 1933. For the structure determination, this group isolated 30 mg of pure riboflavin from the whites of about 10,000 eggs. The discovery of the actions of riboflavin in biological systems arose from the work of Otto Warburg in Germany and Hugo Theorell in Sweden, both of whom identified yellow substances bound to a yeast enzyme involved in the oxidation of pyridine nucleotides. Theorell showed that riboflavin 5 -phosphate was the source of the yellow color in this old yellow enzyme. By 1938, Warburg had identified FAD, the second common form of riboflavin, as the coenzyme in D-amino acid oxidase, another yellow protein. Riboflavin deficiencies are not at all common. Humans require only about 2 mg per day, and the vitamin is prevalent in many foods. This vitamin... 

One of the first methods of polymerizing vinyl monomers was to expose the monomer to sunlight. In 1845, Blyth and Hoffman [7] obtained by this means a clear glassy polymeric product from styrene. Berthelot and Gaudechon [8] were the first to polymerize ethylene to a solid form and they used ultraviolet (UV) light for this purpose. The first demonstration of the chain reaction nature of photoinitiation of vinyl polymerization was done by Ostromislenski in 1912 [9]. He showed that the amount of poly(vinyl bromide) produced was considerably in excess of that produced for an ordinary chemical reaction.
