Effect on appearance

The number of solvent systems and their associated solvent effects examined is so enormous that a complete description of all aspects would fill several volumes. For example, in Chemical Abstracts, volume 85 (1976), approximately eleven articles per week were quoted in which the words Solvent effects on. .. appeared in the title. In the present book only a few important and relatively well-defined areas of general importance have been selected. The book has been written from the point of view of practical use for the organic chemist rather than from a completely theoretical one. 

The addition of relatively large proportions of insoluble modifiers or fillers can greatly alter the structure and properties of the microporous sheet. Addition of talc and cellulose powder are typical examples. While desirable effects on appearance, feel, absorbency, etc., may be achieved— perhaps also with significant cost reduction—mechanical properties usually deteriorate. 

Silicone defoamers are composed mainly of hydrophobic silicone oil (polydimethylsiloxanes). Pure silicone oil is effective, but overdose often leads to surface defects. Therefore, polyether modified poly-siloxanes have been preferably used to give effective defoaming with negligible effect on appearance of the films. MW and side chain modifications are important considerations in their selection. For ease of incorporation, they are often supplied as emulsions. They may also contain hydrophobic silica to make them more effective. Possible adverse effects are poor intercoat adhesion or craters. 

It thus appears that the flow rate of the nonkey components may account for the diflerences between sequences. Essentially, nonkey components have two effects on a separation. They cause... 

Morphine and its salts are very valuable analgesic drugs but are highly addictive. In addition to suppression of pain, morphine causes constipation, decreases pupillary size and depresses respiration. Only the (-l-)-stereoisoraer is biologically active. They appear to produce their effects on the brain by activating neuronal mechanisms normally activated by... 

Determine which factors, if any, appear to have a significant effect on the response, and estimate the method s expected standard deviation. 

Calibration of an arc or spark source is linear over three orders of magnitude, and detection limits are good, often within the region of a few micrograms per gram for elements such as vanadium, aluminum, silicon, and phosphorus. Furthermore, the nature of the matrix material composing the bulk of the sample appears to have little effect on the accuracy of measurement. 

There are two further effects on K emission XRF which become more important with decreasing nuclear charge. One is the appearance of weak satellite transitions, to lower wavelengths of the main transitions, occurring in the small proportion of doubly ionized atoms which may be produced by the initial X-ray bombardment. The other is a tendency for some transitions to be broadened into bands, rather than the usual sharp lines, due to the... 

Another feature contributed to foods by fats and oils is mouthfeel. Mouthfeel is a difficult attribute to emulate since it appears to be a combination of several factors including viscosity, body, lubricity, and mouth coating. There are effects on the cheeks, tongue, and back of the throat. Other mouthfeel properties include resistance to chewing or change in viscosity during mastication, and other factors yet to be identified. 

Effects on Combustion Toxicology. There appears to be no documented case of any type of fine retardant contributing to human fine casualties. A survey of data from small-scale combustion or pyrolysis experiments revealed no consistent pattern of decrease or increase in the yields of toxic gases (CO, HCN) when phosphoms flame retardants were present (152,153). 

Effects on Visible Smoke. Smoke is a main impediment to egress from a burning building. Although some examples are known where specific phosphoms flame retardants increased smoke in small-scale tests, other instances are reported where the presence of the retardant reduced smoke. The effect appears to be a complex function of burning conditions and of other ingredients in the formulation (153,156,157). In a carehil Japanese study, ammonium phosphate raised or lowered the smoke from wood depending on pyrolysis temperature (158). Where the phosphoms flame retardant functions by char enhancement, lower smoke levels are likely to be observed. 

THPOH—Ammonia—Tris Finish. By far the most effective finish for polyester—cotton textiles was a system based on the THPOH—NH treatment of the cotton component either foUowed or preceded by the appUcation of Tris finish to the polyester component. This combined treatment appeared to be effective on almost any polyester—cotton blend. A large amount of fabric treated in this way was sold throughout the United States and much of the rest of the world. Shortly after the introduction of Tris finishing, Tris was found to be a carcinogen. Most of the Tris treated production was in children s sleepwear, and this created a situation in which almost aU chemical fire-retardant-treated textiles were unfairly condemned as dangerous. Manufacturers mshed to replace chemically treated textiles with products produced from inherently flame-resistant fibers. Nowhere was the impact more severe than in the children s sleepwear market. New, safer materials have been introduced to replace Tris. Thus far none has been as completely effective. 

Chemical iajections iato piae trees have been reported to have stimulatory effects on the natural production of resias and terpenes and may result ia high yields of these valuable chemicals. Combiaed oleoresin—timber production ia mixed stands of piae and timber trees is under development, and it appears that when short-rotation forestry is used, the yields of energy products and timber can be substantially higher than the yields from separate operations. 

The growth inhibitory mechanism of the thiocarbamate herbicides, eg, EPTC, butylate, cycloate, diaHate, and triaHate, is not well defined. Cell elongation, rather than cell division, appears to be inhibited (183), although mitotic entry may be inhibited by diaHate (184). Thiocarbamates have a greater effect on shoot than toot tissue (163,184). The weU-documented inhibition of Hpid synthesis by thiocarbamates certainly contributes to the observed inhibitions of cell division and elongation. These compounds may also inhibit gibbereUic acid synthesis (185).
