The California Air Resources Board (GARB) established the VOC concept for the delineation of acceptable coatings and application systems (VOC = volatile organic compounds, e.g., a maximum of 3.5 lb of controlled solvent/gal. of wet paint). 

Rather novel applications are as coatings for laser fusion DT beads, - biocompatible coatings, and applications such as electron beam resists and general application in electronics. ... 

Small molecules can penetrate and penneate tlirough polymers. Because of this property, polymers have found widespread use in separation teclmology, protection coating, and controlled delivery [53]. The key issue in these applications is the selective penneability of the polymer, which is detennined by the diffusivity and the solubility of a given set of low-molecular-weight compounds. The diffusion of a small penetrant occurs as a series of jumps... 

More recently, alternative chemistries have been employed to coat oxide surfaces with SAMs. These have included carboxylic 1129, 1301, hydroxamic 11311, phosphonic 1124, 1321 and phosphoric acids 11331. Potential applications of SAMs on oxide surfaces range from protective coatings and adhesive layers to biosensors. 

It is used in adhesives, paper coating and sizing, and textile warp size and finishing applications. 

Solvent Recovery. Most of the activated carbon used in gas-phase applications is employed to prevent the release of volatile organic compounds into the atmosphere. Much of this use has been in response to environmental regulations, but recovery and recycling of solvents from a range of industrial processes such as printing, coating, and extmsion of fibers also provides substantial economic benefits.

Other Derivatives and Applications. Copolymerization of DCPD with other unsaturated substances has received wide attention, and several useful appHcations have been developed. With drying oils (qv) thermal copolymerization leads to the production of resinous products, the so-called bodied oils, that give improved drying and result in paint and varnish coatings of greater resistance to weathering. 

Air impingement is commonly employed for drying sheets, film, thin slabs, and coatings. Another application in which it is used is as a secondary heat source on drum and can diyers (see Fig. 12-46). 

Draft Tube Designs and Spouted Beds A draft tube is often employed to regnlate particle circnlation patterns. The most common design is the Wurster draft tnbe flnidbea employed extensivelvin the pharmacentical industry, nsnally for coating and layered growtJi applications. The Wurster coater nses a bottom positioned spray, bnt other variations are available (Table 20-47). 

Tank/soil potential measurements cannot be made on objects to be protected with very high coating resistances which are found in rare cases of defect-free coating, and particularly with resin coatings. Off potentials change relatively quickly with time, similar to the discharge of a capacitor, and show erroneous values that are too positive [8]. This is the case with coating resistances of 10 Q m. If there are defects, the resistance is clearly much lower. The advice in Section 3.3.2.2 is then applicable for potential measurement. 

The range of applications for magnesium anodes includes the internal protection of boilers, feedwater tanks, filter tanks, coolers, pipe heat exchangers and condensers. They are mainly used in conjunction with coatings and where impressed current equipment is too expensive or cannot be installed. 

Three common uses of RBS analysis exist quantitative depth profiling, areal concentration measurements (atoms/cm ), and crystal quality and impurity lattice site analysis. Its primary application is quantitative depth profiling of semiconductor thin films and multilayered structures. It is also used to measure contaminants and to study crystal structures, also primarily in semiconductor materials. Other applications include depth profilii of polymers, high-T superconductors, optical coatings, and catalyst particles. ... 

NB Daia for the three important ihermosetting materials (phenolics, aminoplastics and epoxide resins) were not covered in the 1998 review on which the 1997 data was based. The 1987 figures for these materials do include a substantial percentage of use in adhesive, surface coating and laminate applications. 

The above paragraphs indicate some of the major uses of plastics materials, but these materials also find applications in a variety of other areas. In addition, closely related materials such as rubbers, fibres, surface coatings and adhesives are of considerable importance.
