Experimental monitoring techniques measurements

Experimentally the technique is simple since the sample may be irradiated from time to time and the emission intensity measured by a photomultiplier over a period of tens of seconds (Lange et al, 1998). However, these studies confirmed the limited usefulness of CRL alone for real-time monitoring since the emission is significant only in the glassy state, so this technique cannot detect the gel point for the majority of networks. When combined with other luminescence methods it has potential use because it is independent of the atmosphere and is readily adaptable to fibre-optics. 

In this technique, adsorption is allowed to take place at one temperature and the crystal is then rapidly heated to the desired desorption temperature. This requirement for rapid heating is experimentally very demanding and for this reason, the technique is not often used. The desorption rate can be monitored by measuring the desorption flux as a function of time Kohrt and Gomer [214] used a field emission tip as a flux detector. Alternatively, an adsorbate-sensitive physical property of the surface, such as electron-stimulated desorption [215] or work function [216], can be used.

As noted above, not all techniques which provide information regarding crystallinity are useful to follow the rate of crystallization. In addition to sufficient sensitivity to monitor small changes, the method must be rapid and suitable for isothermal regulation, quite possibly over a range of different temperatures. Specific volume measurements are especially convenient for this purpose. We shall continue our discussion using specific volume as the experimental method. 

Diffusivities of various elements ate determined experimentally. Dopant profiles can be determined. The junction depth can be measured by chemically staining an angle-lapped sample with an HE/HNO mixture. The -type region of the junction stains darker than the n-ty e region. The sheet resistivity can also be measured using a four-point probe measurement. These two techniques ate used for process monitoring. 

There are several unique features about PAC. First, PAC and the related methods are the only experimental techniques currently available, which can measure the heats of reaction of carbenes on the microsecond and faster time scale. This usually allows for an accurate determination of the heats of formation of these reactive intermediates. Second, PAC can monitor the reactions of transients which are optically transparent, i.e. do not have an UV-VIS optical absorbance. Hence, in addition to thermodynamics, PAC can also provide important kinetic information about these invisible species. 

Frequency dependent complex impedance measurements made over many decades of frequency provide a sensitive and convenient means for monitoring the cure process in thermosets and thermoplastics [1-4]. They are of particular importance for quality control monitoring of cure in complex resin systems because the measurement of dielectric relaxation is one of only a few instrumental techniques available for studying molecular properties in both the liquid and solid states. Furthermore, It is one of the few experimental techniques available for studying the poljfmerization process of going from a monomeric liquid of varying viscosity to a crosslinked. Insoluble, high temperature solid. 

In the past, impedance or dielectric studies have been examined as an experimental technique to monitor the flow properties, effects of composition, and the advancement of a reaction during cure [1]. Until a paper by Zukas et al [2], little emphasis had been placed on the frequency dependence except to note the shift in position and magnitude of impedance maxima and minima. Furthermore, most measurements on curing systems reported results in terms of... 

When a strong electron acceptor (electron scavenger) is added in the irradiated system, some of the electrons will react with the scavenger before they recombine with their parent cations. Therefore the measurement of the yield of the scavenging products as a function of the scavenger concentration can be used to monitor the geminate recombination, and the electron scavenging technique has proved to be an important tool in experimental studies.
