In dielectric continuum theory, the solute density is placed in a cavity embedded in a dielectric continuum solvent characterized by the electronic and inertial dielectric constants Ego and , respectively. Typically, the solvent polarization potential field is assumed to respond linearly to the change in solute charge density. The free energy of the system for fixed solute nuclei is a functional of the solvent inertial polarization potential field... 

Specific solute-sorbent interactions related to steric effects. Sorption of solutes to NOM has been explained in terms of association or trapping of the solutes in hydrophobic cavities embedded within NOM aggregates [discussed by Schlautman and Morgan (34)]. The NOM is a mixture of chromophores that are capable of quenching excited states or photosensitizing reactions. The net effect may depend on the position of the sorbed solute within hydrophobic cavities of this mixture. The position may, in turn, depend on the size and shape of the solute. 

Molecularly imprinted polymer recognition units are based upon template polymerization techniques (Haupt and Mosbach 2000). The MIP recognition units are formed in the presence of a template molecule that is later leached out or extracted, thus leaving complementary cavities embedded in the Ii nal structure of the polymer. These polymers display high chemical-binding affinity for molecules with structural similarities to the template molecule. Hence, MIPs can be used to fabricate sensors...

Scorch resistance is frequently measured by the time at a given temperature required for the onset of cross-link formation as indicated by an abrupt increase in viscosity. The Mooney viscometer is usually used. FuUy compounded, unvulcanized rubber is contained in a heated cavity. Embedded in the rubber is a rotating disc. Viscosity is continuously measured (by the torque required to keep the rotor rotating at a constant rate) as a function of time. The temperature is selected to be characteristic of rather severe processing (extrusion, calendering, and so on).
