Conductivity volume

The pharmaceutical industry has taken great interest of late in the study of polymorphism and solvatomorphism in its materials, since a strong interest in the phenomena has developed now that regulatory authorities understand that the nature of the structure adopted by a given compound upon crystallization can exert a profound effect on its solid-state properties. For a given material, the heat capacity, conductivity, volume, density, viscosity, surface tension, diffusivity, crystal... 

With the U-Type systems (i.e. with the low chain alcohols) the trends in the conductivity - curve are consistent with percolative conduction originally proposed to explain the behaviour of conductance of conductor-insulator composite materials (27). In the latter model, the effective conductivity is practically zero as long as the conductive volume fraction is smaller than a critical value called the percolation threshold, beyond which k suddenly takes a non-zero value and rapidly increases with increase of Under these conditions.

A review is presented of the electrical properties of polymers filled with different types of conducting particles. Following a theoretical description of a general effective media equation, experimental conductivity-volume fraction data for thermoplastic filled with vanadium oxide particles as well as thermosetting polymer composites, were fitted to the equation. The calculated property-related parameters in the equation are discussed. Data are given for PVC, HDPE, LLDPE, LDPE, and epoxy resin. 12 refs. 

The simple form of the conductive volume (a thin uniform circular ring), and the assumption that the current density is uniform over the cross-section of the ring has allowed us to find a simple expression for the coefficient of the proportionality between the secondary magnetic flux and the secondary current intensity I. Substituting this result into eq. 1.209 yields a differential equation from which the current I can be determined ... 

Figure 5 shows tracer washout when a constant infusion of tracer is made into the plasma (Fig. 5a) or intestinal lumen (Fig. 5b). Flow through the intestinal lumen is 0.05 ml g- min membrane conductances, volumes, and plasma flow are identical to those used for Fig. 4a. The concentration of tracer in the plasma outflow rises more quickly in either case due to its much greater flow. The much higher plasma flow (20-fold greater than intestinal flow) results in nearly equal steady-state concentrations when the tracer is injected into the plasma and in a lower concentration in the plasma than in the intestine when the tracer enters through the intestine.

Extracellular waveforms are created by the flow of current through the volume conductor surrounding the active membrane. An expression for the extracellular potential 0e, outside a cylindrical fiber with a large conducting volume was given by Spach et al. [1973] as... 

The current path between the active electrode and the neutral plate will depend on the tissue conductivity volume distribution. The site of the surgical intervention is given, but the site of the neutral electrode can be more freely chosen for optimum safe delivery. 

Kim et al. [326] have analyzed and P in terms of a new parameter, the percent conductive volume (PCV), defined as the ratio of the volume of the aqueous phase per acid site to the estimated volume of the wet membrane per acid site. It was found that membrane selectivity is low (0.74 < < 1.01) for Nafion over a wide... 

Due to the electroneutral nature of all conducting volumes, one can speak In terms of the current through the medium since the current Is the same at whatever section... 

In equilibrium, no current flows through the electrochemical chain and each conducting volume is equipotential. The voltage between the terminals is the algebraic sum of the... 

Each of the five conducting volumes inside the electrochemical chain is equipotential. However, there is a potential difference at each interface (in this simplified representation the thickness is assumed to be insignificant), including for ionic junctions. 

The ohmic drop terms can either be positive or negative depending on the situation In simple systems, the ohmic drop across a conducting volume is proportional to the current flowing through it . It corresponds to the Ohm law at the macroscopic level,...

The shape of the current-potential curves and, more generally speaking, the relationships (/, U, t) in an electrochemical system involve the kinetics of both the interfacial phenomena (in particular, charge transfers at reactive interfaces) and the mass transport inside the conducting volumes. 

In all systems, one of the impacts of electroneutrality in the conducting volumes = 0) is that the overall convection current density is always zero, resulting in... 

This means that the boundary effects are disregarded the surface charge density is zero on five faces and uniform on the sixth face which is in contact with the other phase. This system can be also represented as part of a system with unidirectional geometry (two conducting volumes with an infinite section and a thickness ). 

Figure 2.9. The conductivity (at 11.7 Hz) of a series of styrene-acetylene diblock copolymers and a series of acetylene-phenyl vinyl sulfone random copolymers is shown as a function of their conductive volume fractions. The random copolymers have a higher percolation threshold composition (at approximately 35 vol%) than the diblock copolymer (at approximately 18 vol%).
