Sample Test Data. Thirty different NLO chromophores were tested to provide a thermal stability index. Of these, seven were studied using both melting endotherm and decomposition exotherm disappearance whereas the other twenty-three compounds were studi using only the decomposition exotherm decreases. makes a total of thirty-seven samples whose data are given in Table m. The chemical structures corresponding to the sample names are shown in Figures 5,6 and 7.

The discussion of T, ° must involve four independent variables, namely the enthalpies and entropies of both the melt and the crystal. It, however, will be shown that good estimates of T, ° can be made by using empirical rales for ASf sio , to be derived next. For similar macromolecules AHf sio is usually also similar and derivable from the chemical structure. For aliphatic polyesters, for example, AHfusio 2.3 kJ (mole of backbone atoms) For a summary of extrapolated equilibrium data the ATHAS Data Bank, summarized in Appendix 1, should be consulted. 

The neuroprotective actions of B. monnieri are mainly attributed by bacosides, which are dammarane type of triterpenoid saponins [34]. Bacosides were initially thought to be the mixture of bacoside A (melting point 250 °C) and B (melting point 203 °C). But later on, it was revealed that they are the stereoisomers of the same compound, where bacoside A was found levorotatory and bacoside B dextrorotatory [35]. The other active agents as extracted from this medicinal plant, namely, bacopasaponins A, B, C, D, E, and F [36] and also bacopasides I, II, III, IV, and V, were isolated and characterized [37, 38]. Figure 120.6 depicts chemical structures of some important saponins obtained from B. monnieri. 

Up to now, there are no international standards for identification of the main characteristics of TPO supplied by different firms. That is why each firm has its own system of codes, using figures and/or letters, which precede or follow the trade name of product. In general, these codes provide some information about product characteristics (chemical structure, melt flow index, etc.) and application fields. Recently, some firms added into the codes information about the additive groups incorporated into the TPO.

Aramid, or aromatic polyamides, were first introduced in conunercial applications in the early 1960s, with a meta-aramid fiber produced by DuPont under the trade name Nomex. This fiber, which handles similarly to normal textile apparel fibers, is characterized by its excellent resistance to heat, as it neither melts nor ignites in normal levels of oxygen. It is used extensively in the production of protective apparel, air filtration, and thermal and electrical insulation. A para-aramid fiber with much higher tenacity and elastic modulus was also developed in the 1960s-1970s by DuPont, which was the first company to introduce a para-aramid fiber, Kevlar, in 1973. A similar fiber called Twaron with roughly the same chemical structure was introduced by Akzo in 1978.
