Considering Physicochemical Properties

Ha2ard is the likelihood that the known toxicity of a material will be exhibited under specific conditions of use. It follows that the toxicity of a material, ie, its potential to produce injury, is but one of many considerations to be taken into account in assessment procedures with respect to defining ha2ard. The following are equally important factors that need to be considered physicochemical properties of the material use pattern of the material and characteristics of the environment where the material is handled source of exposure, normal and accidental control measures used to regulate exposure the duration, magnitude, and frequency of exposure route of exposure and physical nature of exposure conditions, eg, gas, aerosol, or Hquid population exposed and variabiUty in exposure conditions and experience with exposed human populations. [Pg.238]

The literature is replete with claims that RTlLs will be used in more efficient and safer electrochemical energy-conversion devices. However, many of the studies in which such claims are made have only considered physicochemical properties of the RTlLs and their effects on, e.g. mass transfer or electrochemical windows of RTlLs. Others have built prototype devices and tested their performance but have not optimised the electrocatalyst composition and/or structure. It is our opinion that many of these proposed devices may only be realised if the kinetics of the electr(x hemical reactions occurring in such devices are studied with a view to optimising the electrodes compositions indeed, it is widely claimed that sluggish kinetics of the ORR in aqueous media are largely to blame for the slow uptake of... [Pg.161]

A range of physicochemical properties such as partial atomic charges [9] or measures of the polarizabihty [10] can be calculated, for example with the program package PETRA [11]. The topological autocorrelation vector is invariant with respect to translation, rotation, and the conformer of the molecule considered. An alignment of molecules is not necessary for the calculation of their autocorrelation vectors. [Pg.411]

Equipment Selection Criteria and Guidelines A number of factors should be considered in order to determine when to select a blowdown drum, cyclone separator, or quench tank to handle a multiphase stream from a relief device. Among these are the plot plan space available, the operating limitations of each type, and the physicochemical properties of the stream. [Pg.2295]

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as well as fullerenes are splendid gift brought to the Earth from the red giant carbon stars in the long-distant universe through the spectroscopy. Moreover, those belong to new carbon allotropes of the mesoscopic scale with well-defined structures. In particular, CNTs are considered to be the materials appropriate to realise intriguing characteristics related to the mesoscopic system based on their size and physicochemical properties. [Pg.1]

Taken globally, the results show a remarkable adaptability of acetylcholine which can be justified considering both its intrinsic flexibility, and the fact that its intramolecular interactions are not very strong and that almost all media can compete with them. Such adaptability finds a noteworthy implication in significant pairwise correlations between physicochemical properties and geometrical descriptors as well as among physicochemical properties. Thus, Fig. 1.6 shows the revealing 3D... [Pg.14]

This chapter considers ionizable drug-Uke molecules and the effect of such ionization on pharmaceutic properties. Most medicinal substances are ionizable [1]. The biological medium into which these substances distribute embraces a range of pH values. The ionization constant, pK, can teU the pharmaceutical scientist to what degree the molecule is charged in solution at a particular pH. This is important to know, since the charge state of the molecule strongly influences its other physicochemical properties. [Pg.55]

The optimized drug product may be viewed as a drug-delivery system for the one or more drugs that it contains. The goal of this drug-delivery system is to release the drug(s) to produce the maximum simultaneous safety, effectiveness, and reliability, as depicted in Fig. 9. Various physicochemical product properties that influence the quality features of safety, effectiveness, and reliability are shown in Table 6. Some physicochemical properties can affect two or all three quality features of Fig. 9. For example, consider chemical stability. As a drug decomposes, if the... [Pg.27]

Abstract Protein-like copolymers were first predicted by computer-aided biomimetic design. These copolymers consist of comonomer units of differing hydrophilicity/hydro-phobicity. Heterogeneous blockiness, inherent in such copolymers, promotes chain folding with the formation of specific spatial packing a dense core consisting of hydrophobic units and a polar shell formed by hydrophilic units. This review discusses the approaches, those that have already been described and potential approaches to the chemical synthesis of protein-like copolymers. These approaches are based on the use of macromolecular precursors as well as the appropriate monomers. In addition, some specific physicochemical properties of protein like copolymers, especially their solution behaviour in aqueous media, are considered. [Pg.100]
