Chemicals and Light

You are now looking at this particular page the paper looks white and the letters black. From the window you see tree leaves they are green. These are visible. Well, there are a lot of molecules floating aronnd you air. You do not see it. Some chemicals are visible, i.e., colored, while others are invisible. Why is that so

Fabric Composition. The method of fabric manufacture dictates many of the characteristics of the sheet, but intrinsic properties are firmly estabhshed by the base polymer selected. Properties such as fiber density, temperature resistance, chemical and light stabiUty, ease of coloration, surface energies, and others are a function of the base polymer. Thus, because nylon absorbs more moisture than polypropylene, spunbonded fabrics made from nylon are more water absorbent than fabrics of polypropylene. 

Note the use of Eigure 10-103 is considered conservative. Many organic chemical and light hydrocarbon units have been successfully designed using it however, it is not known whether these units are oversized or by how much. 

Carbon black is a black pigment, and lampblack, which has a larger particle size, is used for tinting to produce shades of gray. Carbon black is very opaque and has excellent durability, resistance to all types of chemicals, and light fastness. 

Photochemotherapy The combination of a photoactive chemical and light. The interaction of the light and the chemical produces a synergistic effect. 

S. Weber and E. Schleicher on the example of flavoproteins which play a role in both chemically and light-activated electron transfer processes. Chapter 3 on synthetic polymers by D. Hinderberger argues that careful analysis of mundane nitroxide spin label or spin probe CW EPR spectra can reveal a lot of information which is hard to obtain by any other characterization technique. 

Soluble Polystyrene. Styrene homopolymers (generally in admixture with other binders) are used in special applications such as zinc dust primers and bronze lacquers, in paints for mineral substrates and paper, as well as in adhesives. Polystyrene and poly(a-methylstyrene) have good water resistance, low permeability, resistance to chemicals and light, and also dry quickly. Suitable solvents include aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, in some cases containing ketones or esters.

Styrene Maleic Anhydride Copolymer Thermoplastic copolymer of styrene with maleic anhydride. Has good thermal stability and adhesion, but decreased chemical and light resistance. Processed by injection and foam molding and extrusion. Used in auto parts, appliances, door panels, pumps, and business machines. Also called SMA. 

In this short review of applicable properties, we will examine the electrical properties of columnar liquid crystals in some detail and discuss their potential application in light scanners, xerography, chemical and light sensors, molecular scale FETs, p-n junctions, ferroelectric memories and electrical contacts [8,9]. We will also consider fluorescent and ferroelectric properties.
