This chapter describes the use of three commercially available SEC column types for the characterization of nonionic, anionic, and cationic, synthetic water-soluble polymers. These include TSK-PW, Synchropak, and CATSEC columns. Specific examples and experimental procedures are discussed for each type of column. Elowever, the major emphasis is on the use of TSK-PW columns due to their broad applicability for a variety of water-soluble polymers. 

This series of reagents is characterized by the use of metals under the appropriate conditions. In this regard, a mixture of zinc dust and titanium tetrachloride in ether provided a useful synthesis of vinyl sulphides43, with the possibility of further substitution alpha to the sulphur atom, as outlined in equation (16). The reaction is easy to carry out and gave yields of 49 to 87%, although the authors do not provide much detail of their experimental procedure and of the purity (chemical or stereochemical) of their products. 

For a while till now, our research group has been involved in studies of the properties of limit flames. Most of the results reported in this chapter were obtained for propane flames, under normal atmospheric conditions, in 300 mm long channels, with a square cross-section. The experimental procedure was described previously [25]. A flame propagating through a stationary mixture in a quenching tube or quenching channel can be characterized by the parameters defined in Figure 6.1.1. 

In this section, a description of the experimental procedure used to prepare and characterize metal nanoclusters stabilized by DMAA-based microgels (M5, MIO, M20) is provided. Details of the experimental procedure used to prepare nanoparticles stabilized by MMA-based microgels have been reported elsewhere [13b]. 

Independent reference methods - one organization Two or more independent reference methods, each based on an entirely conceptually different principle of measurement, independent in theory and experimental procedure, applied in replicate, within a single organization, of the highest reputational quality, by two or more expert analysts, working independently. The methods used can, naturally, include definitive methods, and the results should be corroborated by a third or additional, independently different, accurately characterized, well established, thoroughly validated, definitive, reference, or other methods. 

A massive body of evidence has already been presented clearly indicating that the medicinal plants of the Pacific Rim elaborate a broad array of cytotoxic substances. Most of these have been characterized using experimental procedures designed to examine the cytotoxicity of natural products against human tumor cell lines. These procedures involve in vitro screening where the viability of cultured cells after exposure to an extract or a purified substance is measured. 

The number of surface groups (Z), branch cells (BC) and molecular weights for a dendrimer series can be calculated with the math expressions shown below. These parameters, as well as hydrodynamic dimensions for the series [EDA](G 0-10)de dn-PAMAM-(NH2)n are presented in Figure 25.1. The experimental procedures are general for a wide range of alkylenediamine initiator cores (e.g., NH2-(CH2)-nNH2). Characterization data for dendri-PAMAMs derived from these cores are included, where n = 2, 3,4, 5, 6. 

Despite this double-edged characterization, Harold Wolff was, in my opinion, a force for good. As Marks acknowledges, Wolff was always clear in his insistence that no one be injured by any experimental procedure. 

High-performance liquid chromatography of synthetic polymers is a set of very useful experimental procedures allowing separation and molecular characterization of many kinds of macromolecules. All particular members of this group of methods and their mutual combinations necessitate further research. Even the oldest and likely the simplest method of polymer HPLC, namely SEC, which is often erroneously considered a mature procedure, deserves further intensive development. It is hoped that the basic information presented in this chapter will help understand not only the principles but also the challenges of polymer HPLC. 

The intimate contact data shown in Figure 7.16 were obtained from three-ply, APC-2, [0°/90o/0o]7- cross-ply laminates that were compression molded in a 76.2 mm (3 in.) square steel mold. The degree of intimate contact of the ply interfaces was measured using scanning acoustic microscopy and image analysis software (Section 7.4). The surface characterization parameters for APC-2 Batch II prepreg in Table 7.2 and the zero-shear-rate viscosity for PEEK resin were input into the intimate contact model for the cross-ply interface. Additional details of the experimental procedures and the viscosity data for PEEK resin are given in Reference 22.
