In a two-component system a single-phase solution is thermodynamically stable when the free energy-composition diagram is concave upward [see Darken and Gurry (22) for a full discussion of free energy versus compo-... 

Equations (12) and (13) indicate that an accurate description of the free energy -composition relationship for a particular phase, allows the shift in the deposition potential of each constituent in that phase to be calculated from the respective partial molar free energies. Although such a simple treatment is rather attractive, one should...

The reaction of Scheme 4.34 is used to synthesize 1,1-dinitroaIkanes, which find wide application as intermediate products in preparing drugs, biologically active substances, and high-energy compositions. 

Zirconium (Zr) is another reactive metal, but its considerable expense is a m or problem restricting its wider use in high-energy compositions. It is easily ignited - and therefore quite hazardous - as a fine powder, and must be used with great care. 

At some early time, prior to 1000 A.D., an observant scientist recognized the unique properties of a blend of potassium nitrate, sulfur, and charcoal and black powder was developed as the first "modern" high-energy composition. A formula quite similar to the one used today was reported by Marcus Graecus ("Mark the Greek") in an 8th century work "Book of Fires for Burning the Enemy"... 

Polyurethane energetic block copolymers, (VIII), consisting of toluene diisocyanate, 1,4-butanediol, and dihydroxyl poly(3-azidomethyl-3-methylox-etane) were prepared by Sanderson et al. (3) and used as binders in high-energy compositions, especially rocket propellants. Poly(glycidyl nitrate) urethanes were previously prepared by the authors and are discussed (4). 

Therefore phase changes can be predicted from thermodynamic information on the free energy-composition-temperature relationship.

In order to deepen our understanding of the thermodynamic feature of solubility, we present Fig. 2-1, a free energy-composition phase diagram (Balzhiser et al. 1972, pp. 437-443). 

A supersamrated solution is always located beyond its solubility line, just as a saUirated solution is always located at the equilibrium line. In order to provide more fundamental insight into the metastable phenomenon, a free energy-composition diagram, which provides further detail than is shown in Fig. 2-1, is presented in Fig. 2-8. The reader can find more detailed discussion in the following references (Balzhiser et al. 1972 Debenedetti 1995). 

Other factors, such as the presence of seed of the desired compound, undissolved extraneous solid particles, and even agitation intensity can affect the metastable zone width and induction time. Clearly, these factors can perturb and alter the free energy-composition phase curve. In general, these factors will lower both the metastable zone width and the induction time. 

The discussion of solubility above shows that it is theoretically possible to deduce the metastable zone width through the free energy-composition curve if such a curve is available (Kim and Mersmann 2001). Due to the complexity of the problem, experimental verification is preferred for practical applications.
