This chapter reviews the main aspects of rubber base adhesives. A detailed description of the main ingredients of rubber base adhesive has been given because most of the previous contributions in this area did not consider this important aspect. On the other hand, update of the literature in water-base rubber adhesives has been done. 

This chapter reviews the various types of impellers, die flow patterns generated by diese agitators, correlation of die dimensionless parameters (i.e., Reynolds number, Froude number, and Power number), scale-up of mixers, heat transfer coefficients of jacketed agitated vessels, and die time required for heating or cooling diese vessels. 

This chapter reviews the structure, rationale, and method used for the development of the CCPS Taxonomy and explains how to use it. Key elements of the CCPS Taxonomy that are explained include equipment, service, and failure description. The CCPS Taxonomy is listed in Appendix A. 

The literature in this area is extensive and some of the concepts and symbolism may be transitory. This chapter reviews the field at a level and with a coverage adequate for the experimentalist to use the standard relationships and to follow their use in the mechanistic literature. Research on the meaning of the extrathermody-namic relationships themselves is beyond our needs the interested reader can explore these ideas further in the references cited. Grunwald has reviewed the early history of LFERs. 

Tlie present chapter reviews the chemistry of three- and four-membered ring compounds containing an S—S bond in their ring. Dithiiranes 1,2-dithietanes and 1,2-dithietes are the compounds of this type. Although 1,3-dithietanes are four-membered heterocycles which are prepared much more easily and are seemingly more familiar, they have no S-S bond in the ring and hence are not included in this chapter. 

Natural gas and crude oils are the main sources for hydrocarbon intermediates or secondary raw materials for the production of petrochemicals. From natural gas, ethane and LPG are recovered for use as intermediates in the production of olefins and diolefms. Important chemicals such as methanol and ammonia are also based on methane via synthesis gas. On the other hand, refinery gases from different crude oil processing schemes are important sources for olefins and LPG. Crude oil distillates and residues are precursors for olefins and aromatics via cracking and reforming processes. This chapter reviews the properties of the different hydrocarbon intermediates—paraffins, olefins, diolefms, and aromatics. Petroleum fractions and residues as mixtures of different hydrocarbon classes and hydrocarbon derivatives are discussed separately at the end of the chapter. 

As a plastic is subjected to a fixed stress or strain, the deformation versus time curve will show an initial rapid deformation followed by a continuous action. Examples of the standard type tests are included in Fig. 2-1. Details on using these type specimens under static and dynamic loads will be reviewed throughout this chapter. (Review also Fig. 8-9 that relates elasticity to strain under different conditions.)... 

This chapter reviews the design of different current and potential applications for plastics. Plastics are used uniquely in these applications because of factors such as availability of their extensive capability in material modifications to meet specific material and processing requirements. By incorporating some innate behaviors of the materials and adapting them to operate in unusual environments, low cost products are produced as well as some of the most significant and sophisticated problems of man-kind are being solved by the use of plastics. 

The basis of all control Icd-potcntial techniques is the measurement of the current response to an applied potential. There exist a multihide of potential excitations, including a ramp, potential steps, pulse trains, a sine wave, and various combinations thereof. The present chapter reviews those techniques that are widely used. 

The stereogenic sulfur atom in sulfoxides is usually configurationally stable at room temperature thus, sulfoxides may be chiral based on this property alone1. In fact, there are many examples of optically active sulfoxides of both synthetic and natural origin. This chapter reviews the important methods for obtaining optically active sulfoxides, and discusses some reactions at sulfur which either leave the coordination number at three or increase it to four, generally with preservation of optical activity. It also describes briefly some recent studies on the conformational analysis and chiroptical properties of sulfoxides.
