Chemical stability oxidation

Concerning the chemical stability, oxidation by the ambient oxygen is of major concern [18]. Sealing and encapsulation of the material improves the lifetime. For photostability any absorption process has to be strongly avoided [19, 20]. Not only the linear absorption a0 but also the two-photon absorption a2 is of concern. The prevention of any absorption is therefore not only important for the figures of merit but also for the photostability.

Oxide ion conductive ceramics, such as stabilized zirconia or thoria, have high thermal and chemical stability. Oxide irai activity on the surface of ceramics is strrMigly influenced by the chemical components present in the environment. Many researchers have suggested that this changing property of oxide irm on the surface is useful to... 

In tenns of an electrochemical treatment, passivation of a surface represents a significant deviation from ideal electrode behaviour. As mentioned above, for a metal immersed in an electrolyte, the conditions can be such as predicted by the Pourbaix diagram that fonnation of a second-phase film—usually an insoluble surface oxide film—is favoured compared with dissolution (solvation) of the oxidized anion. Depending on the quality of the oxide film, the fonnation of a surface layer can retard further dissolution and virtually stop it after some time. Such surface layers are called passive films. This type of film provides the comparably high chemical stability of many important constmction materials such as aluminium or stainless steels. 

A major development in fluoroplastks is the recent small scale production of Teflon AF, a noncrystaUme (amorphous) fluorocarbon polymer with a high glass transition temperature (240 °C) This optically transparent TFE copolymer is soluble m certan fluorocabons and has the same chemical and oxidative stability as crystallme TFE homopolymers [5]... 

In context with the formation of peraminosubstituted 1,4,5,8-tetraazaful-valenes of type 85 it must be mentioned that the bis-vinylogous compounds 94 can be easily prepared by reaction of acetamidine with bisimidoylchlo-rides derived from oxalic acid (96S1302). In the course of a complex reaction a cyclic ketene aminal was produced it immediately underwent an oxidative dimerization to yield deeply colored TAFs. Tlieir high chemical stability can be compared with that of indigoid dyes and manifests itself, for example, by the fact that they are soluble in hot concentrated sulfuric acid without decomposition. Tire same type of fulvalene is also available by cy-... 

Chemical stability is another property which is exceedingly important in the selection of a hydraulic liquid. It is defined as the liquid s ability to resist oxidation and... 

The lubrication requirements for single-screw type compressors are not severe, but in oil-flooded rotary units, the oxidizing conditions are extremely severe because fine droplets of oil are mixed intimately with hot compressed air. In some screw-type air compressors, the rotors are gear driven and do not make contact. In others, one rotor drives the other. The heaviest contact loads occur where power is transmitted from the female to the male rotor here the lubricant encounters physical conditions similar to those between mating gear teeth. This arduous combination of circumstances places a great demand on the chemical stability, and lubricating power, of the oil. 

The outstanding characteristics of the noble metals are their exceptional resistance to corrosive attack by a wide range of liquid and gaseous substances, and their stability at high temperatures under conditions where base metals would be rapidly oxidised. This resistance to chemical and oxidative attack arises principally from the Inherently high thermodynamic stability of the noble metals, but in aqueous media under oxidising or anodic conditions a very thin film of adsorbed oxygen or oxide may be formed which can contribute to their corrosion resistance. An exception to this rule, however, is the passivation of silver and silver alloys in hydrochloric or hydrobromic acids by the formation of relatively thick halide films. 

Sulphones are blessed with high thermal and chemical stability and so the oxidation of these species requires extreme, forcing conditions in most cases. 

Later, Farnham and Johnson reported the synthesis of higher molecular weight, tiiermoplastic polyfarylcnc etiier)s with good thermal, oxidative, chemical stability, and physical properties by reacting (at 120-260°C) a phenolate metal salt... 

A central theme in our approach, which we believe to be different from those of others, is to focus on the changing chemistry associated with higher, middle and lower oxidation state compounds. The chemical stability of radical species and open-shell Werner-type complexes, on the one hand, and the governance of the 18-electron rule, on the other, are presented as consequences of the changing nature of the valence shell in transition-metal species of different oxidation state. 

Reducing and oxidizing conditions m a sediment determine the chemical stability of the solid compounds and the direction of spontaneous reactions. The redox state can be recognized as a voltage potential measured with a platinum electrode. This voltage potential is usually referred to as E or Eh defined by the Nemst equation, which was introduced in Chapter 5, Section 5.3.1 ...
