Since successful commercialization of Kapton by Du Pont Company in the 1960s (10), numerous compositions of polyimide and various new methods of syntheses have been described in the Hterature (1—5). A successful result for each method depends on the nature of the chemical components involved in the system, including monomers, intermediates, solvents, and the polyimide products, as well as on physical conditions during the synthesis. Properties such as monomer reactivity and solubiHty, and the glass-transition temperature,T, crystallinity, T, and melt viscosity of the polyimide products ultimately determine the effectiveness of each process. Accordingly, proper selection of synthetic method is often critical for preparation of polyimides of a given chemical composition. 

In addition to varying in costs, the chemical composition of the water provided from the mains supply also varies between the water companies, as may that between independent supplies within each company s area. The current criterion on potable water quality requires it to be wholesome i.e. it should not create a health hazard, with relatively wide limits on particular constituents. The cost of removing these constituents (e.g. calcium, magnesium, chlorides, iron and silica) increases with concentration and variability. This imposes a cost burden on, for example, the semiconductor and electronic component industries and on the operation of high-pressure boilers. Therefore both the potential cost of metered water supply and the chemical composition of the supply waters may influence future decisions on the water company s area in which an industry may wish to locate. 

Discharge with the EPA and Agreements with the water companies. Discharges to controlled landfill sites are by agreement with the local waste disposal authority. In all cases the Consents and Agreements will impose conditions on the quantity, rate of discharge and chemical composition of the trade effluents acceptable for discharge. 

Natural gas a clean, reliable, and energy-efficient fuel an odorless, colorless, combustible fuel. These attributes accurately characterize the form of energy known as natural gas. Nevertheless, we are constantly advised to contact the gas service company whenever we detect the smell of gas as a precautionary measure to locate leaks. An examination of the chemical composition of natural gas can explain this paradox. 

All of the studies were conducted with weanling, male albino rats of the Sprague-Dawley strain (Holtzman company). The basal diet used for these studies consisted of casein, starch, vegetable oil, vitamin and mineral mixtures, and cellulose. The Wesson Modification of the Osborne-Mendel mineral mixture was used in all studies. This mineral mixture contained no zinc, but it was adequate in the other minerals required by the rat. Most of the non-zinc-supplemented diets used in the various experiments contained approximately 7 ppm zinc. The level of mineral mixture used in the basal diets was 4%, and based on the chemical composition of the mixture, the basal diets contained approximately 0.57% calcium and 0.41% phosphorus ... 

Ambersorb carbonaceous adsorbents (Rohm and Haas Company) are a new class of synthetic adsorbents which show interesting collection properties (37,38). The chemical composition is intermediate between that of activated carbon and polymeric sorbents. Ambersorb sorbents are available in various pore sizes and surface areas. 

Kikkoman Corp., a soy sauce making company, developed an automatic chemical composition analyzer of soy sauce (Figure 9) [16]. The analyzer consists of an InfraAlyzer 400 or InfraAlyzer 500, a temperature controller, an automatic sampler and pumps. A certain amount of soy sauce collected by the automatic sampler is sent to the NIR analyzer at a constant flow rate by a pump through a temperature controller at 20°C. NIR measurement is made automatically. After the NIR measurement, the sample cell and tube are washed with cleansing liquid. It takes about 3 minutes to analyze one sample including washing process. 

One of the amenities of present-day organic synthesis is the availability of intermediates from the many chemical supply companies. More than 100 allylic alcohols (excluding extensive listings of phorbol esters and prostaglandin structures) are offered for sale from these sources. Two concerns about such supplies should be noted. The first is the EZZ composition of acyclic allylic alcohols, which should be checked when it is not specified, and second is the optical purity of allylic alcohols offered in optically active form, which likewise should be checked. 

The extraction of two typical agricultural products from environmental matrices were chosen as examples for the operation of this system. Diuron, a phenylmethylurea, was freshly spiked onto Tama soil. This soil was characterized and shown to have 3.1% organic material and 14 % clay fraction. In addition, a phenyl metabolite of NUSTAR, a systemic fungicide, on wheat previously unextractable by SFE was extracted. The wheat sample was not classified for its chemical composition. Both samples were treated with radiolabeled compounds (E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Du Pont Agricultural Products, Wilmington, DE) and extraction results are from liquid scintillation counting of the sample extract. Chromatographic evaluation of the Diuron from soil extracts has previously been published (2). 

Food will always be a topic of interest, but most people know little of its chemical composition and yet that is the key to understanding what it can and cannot do for us. Food chemistry is an important branch of the subject and food chemists are employed by many companies, working to ensure that what we eat is safe and nutritious. Because what they do is not understood, they are often seen as interfering with the food and some commentators see this as highly suspicious. Occasionally there are alarms about chemicals in food and sometimes the culprits are not the ones that come from the chemical industry, but the ones we make ourselves in our own kitchens, as the following story shows. 

Chemical vapor transport is used to synthesize thin films of materials on a substrate. The film can be the same composition as the substrate or different. In order to proceed with chemical vapor transport, the constituent elements of the compound to be deposited as a thin film must be brought into the vapor phase. Given that many of the thin films of commercial importance involve elements with little or no practical vapor pressure, a lot of attention has been focused on preparing volatile compounds that contain the elements needed in thin-film preparations. Most chemical supply companies carry these compounds as stock items. The major classes of compounds include metal alkyl, metal carbonyl, metal alkoxide, metal 3-diketonates, and organometallics. Examples of each are given in Table 3.1. 

The analysis for chemical composition of an organically produced oil will be indistinguishable from that of a standard one. They contain the same range of compounds for any given oil. In a standard oil the possibility of trace compounds like pesticide residues is sometimes a cause of concern. The usual GC-MS type of analysis done on essential oils would not show such components. There are specialist companies that provide services to detect for such residues. This worry should be eliminated when buying genuinely produced organic oils. 

Commercially available linear polymers and CGE kits are available. The chemical composition of some of these polymers is proprietary but others are not. Companies marketing these linear polymers for use in CGE include Bio-Rad,84 Perkin Elmer/ABI (linear polyacrylamide),85 and Beckman Instruments (PEO).86 The Beckman SDS-Protein Gel Column Kit includes many of the supplies and reagents required for Protocol 9.

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) identifies dinitrocresols as hazardous waste when discarded as a commercial product, off-specification materials, (i.e., does not meet a company s specifications on chemical composition), container residue, or spill residue (EPA 1980a).
