When the resin temperature drops below the boiling point of the reactive diluent (usually styrene) the resin is pumped into a blending tank containing suitability inhibited diluent. It is common practice to employ a mixture of inhibitors in order to obtain a balance of properties in respect of colour, storage stability and gelation rate of catalysed resin. A typical system based on the above polyester fomulation would be ... 

Kinetic observations of the homogeneous part of the reaction in water12,13 do not provide any substantially new element to the knowledge of this system. The obvious observations that the rate of resinification increases with increasing temperature and decreasing pH of the mixture only provide technically useful correlation parameters and the zero-order of reactions carried out to small conversion of 2-furfuryl alcohol13 does not indicate anything except an elementary kinetic approximation (the use of colour build-up as a criterion for the extent of alcohol consumed is also questionable since no firm relationship has ever been established between these two quantities). 

It is tempting to take a tour of the solar system, stopping off at each planet to look at the chemistry from the origin of the red colour in Jupiter s great red spot to the volcanic activity of Io, but this would be another book for each planet. Instead, we will generalise the study to the formation of Earth-like planets in order to focus on the possibilities for life. 

Whichever system is used, in order to produce the full colour gamut it is necessary to display one-third of the pixels as red, one-third as green and one-third as blue. This is achieved by having a colour hlter layer as one of the substrates within the display panel. A schematic of this arrangement is shown in Figure 5.6. The role of the LC material in this system is to act as a light switch. 

As it is known [5], the intensity of the scattered light gives us an information about the system s disorder, e.g., presence therein of pores, impurities etc. Since macroscopically liquid is homogeneous, critical opalescence arises due to local microscopic inhomogeneities - an appearance of small domains with different local densities. In other words, liquid is ordered inside these domains but still disorded on the whole since domains are randomly distributed in size and space, they appear and disappear by chance. Fluctuations of the order parameter have large amplitude and involve a wide spectrum of the wavelengths (which results in the milk colour of the scattered light). 

Complexation of inorganic cations such as alkaline or alkaline earth metals by macrocyclic polyethers produces large, lipophilic cationic metal-macrocycle complexes that are readily soluble in nonpolar solvents such as benzene, toluene and haloalkanes. In order to maintain charge balance, the cationic complex has an associated counter anion. In an immiscible two-phase liquid system, such as a mixture of chloroform and water, the anion is necessarily pulled into the organic phase as the cationic complex crosses the phase boundary. A simple illustration of this principle is obtained by addition of a chloroform solution of [18]crown-6 to an aqueous solution of potassium picrate (potassium 2,4,6-trinitrophenolate). The yellow colour of the picrate anion is transported rapidly into the contiguous (physically in contact) chloroform phase upon agitation (Figure 3.43).
