Double growth

Figure 6. Iterative divergent/convergent molecular doubling growth on a polymer support.

Solution. Start with the ledge structure in Fig. 12.10a. The growth spirals of the two dislocations now rotate in the same direction as indicated. This will generate an interleaved double growth spiral of potentially unlimited extent as illustrated in Fig. 12.10b-d. 

Figure 3.30 Double growth spiral formed from two coincident giant screw dislocations. Isotactic polystyrene grown at 19(TC in a 10% atactic polystyrene solution. Growth faces are [1120). The small lonzenge-shaped crystal in the insert, which formed in the same preparation, can be ignored. From Keith et al. [46] with permission from John Wiley Sons, Inc.

Figure 3.31 Sketch of interlocking crystals growing in dilute solution. Should the lamellae rotate about x-x to bring the basal surfaces of crystals A and B together, two giant screw dislocations with four steps are formed. These giant screws will lead to double growth spirals as in Figure 3.30. From Lotz et al. [48] with permission from John Wiley Sons, Inc.

Acetic anhydtide is a mature commodity chemical ia the United States and its growth rate in the 1970s and 1980s was negative until 1988 when foreign demand neatly doubled the exports of 1986. This increase in exports was almost certainly attributable to the decline in the value of the U.S. doUar. Over four-fifths of all anhydtide production is utilized in cellulose acetate [9004-35-7] manufacture (see Cellulose esters). Many anhydtide plants are integrated with cellulose acetate production and thus employ the acetic acid pyrolysis route. About 1.25 kg acetic acid is pyrolyzed to produce 1.0 kg anhydtide. 

The free-radical polymerization of acrylic monomers follows a classical chain mechanism in which the chain-propagation step entails the head-to-tail growth of the polymeric free radical by attack on the double bond of the monomer. 

The trends in total world mine production rates from 1987 to 1992 are evident in Table 3. An 8-yr averaging shows ca 2% growth in annual consumption. The average price of nickel has varied from year to year the actual price more than doubled from 1985 to 1988. However, third quarter 1993 prices dropped below mid-1980 prices to < 4.50/kg. Based on the 1992 world nickel consumption level of 813,900 t and the average annual London Metal Exchange (LME) nickel price, the 1992 monetary value for the nickel mining and refining industry would be approximately 6 x 10 . ... 

A total of 15,000—17,000 t of resin is used aimuaHy. Polycarbonate also has many technical uses in instmment panels and devices, especiaHy for membrane switches and insulators. Optical quaHty polycarbonate is the only suitable material for the compact disk market. Since their introduction in 1983, compact disks have shown explosive growth in the consumption of polycarbonate, with utiHty for audio, video, and computer appHcations. Consumption of optical quaHty resin more than doubled between 1988 and 1992, and as of 1995 accounted for about 20,000 t of annual production. 

Addition or chain-growth polymerization involves the opening of a double bond to form new bonds with adjacent monomers, as typified by the polymerization of ethylene to polyethylene ... 

In 1990, Chemical Abstracts Service listed over 10 million substances in their Registry. Moreover, the growth of new compounds is exponential, lea ding to a doubling of known chemicals every eleven years. Thus there is an ever increasing need to efficiendy identify substances and quantitate material with high confidence. Hyphenated instmments, combinations of accepted instmmental techniques where the sample is passed from one instmment directiy into another, were developed to aid in solving this problem (1).
