Film loading

The film for the Debye method is a narrow strip punched with one or two holes. Devices are available for cutting strip of the proper size from sheet film and punching properly located holes alternately, one can buy a roll of 35-mm film, which has the correct width for many Debye cameras, and punch and cut it to the right length. 

Knife-edges may also be used in this case as a basis for film-shrinkage corrections. 

The unsymmetrical, or Straumanis, method of film loading is shown in Fig. 6-5(c) and Fig. 3-12. Two holes are punched in the film so that it may be slipped over both the entrance collimator and the beam stop. Since it is possible to determine from measurements on the film where the incident beam entered the film circle and where the transmitted beam left it, no knife-edges are required to make the film-shrinkage correction. The point X (20 = 180°), where the incident beam entered, is halfway between the measured positions of lines 4,4 similarly, the point Y (20 = 0°), where the transmitted beam left, is halfway between lines 1,1. The difference between the positions of X and Y gives W, and 0 is found by proportion  

Unsymmetrical loading thus provides for the film-shrinkage correction without calibration of the camera or knowledge of any camera dimension. It is the most popular film arrangement.

Hydrocortisone microspheres (108,109) and films (110) based on poly(lactic acid) have been investigated. A cage implant technique was used to study the performance of monolithic poly (DL-lactide) films loaded with hydrocortisone acetate (110). Films 1.5 x 0.6 cm were inserted into titanium wire-mesh cages 3.5 x 1.0 cm. The cages were implanted in the backs of rats and the inflammatory exudate was sampled periodically. The white cell concentration in the samples was lower than that of controls at all times during the 21-day test. 

Standard bracketing is not applicable to TIMS measurements since each sample is on a different filament, which is successively positioned by a rotating turret the mass bias depends on the temperature of the sample film loaded on the filament, as well as on its structure and composition. The run conditions for each sample are therefore variable from one sample to the next and the mass bias cannot be accurately controlled. Electron impact and ICP sources. 

Anderson et al. [59, 75,76] have been pursuing their extensive researches on the biomedical behavior of PEUUs having various formulations modified with hydrophobic acrylate (or methacrylate) polymer or copolymer additives. The most distinguished additive was Methacrol 2138F, which is a copolymer between diisopropylaminoethyl methacrylate and decyl methacrylate [co(DIPAM/DM)] (in a 3-to-l ratio). The protein adsorption assay showed that PEUU (Biomer-type) films loaded or coated with Methacrol or poIy(DIPAM) adsorbed significantly lower amounts of human blood proteins (Fb, IgG, factor VIII, Hageman factor and Alb) than the base PEUU or PEUUs modified by other additives. It was revealed from their experiments that poly(DIPAM) as well as Methacrol exhibited a prominent suppressing effect on the protein adsorption process. 

Successful operation of potentiometric chemosensors opened up the possibility for the fabrication of chemical field-effect transistors (chemFETs) and ion-selective field-effect transistors (ISFETs). A sensing element in these devices, i.e. the MIP film loaded with the molecular, neutral or ionic, respectively, imprinted substance is used to modify surface of the transistor gate area. Apparently, any change in the potential of the film due to its interactions with the analyte alters the current flowing between the source and drain.

If the LbL film has relatively high thickness, the release rate can be driven by molecule diffusion through the film. Schneider demonstrated that drug diffusion through the film proceeds for several hours, as achieved by placement of the CHI/HA film loaded with diclofenac and paclitaxel in 0.15 M NaCl (pH 7.4) into phosphate-buffered saline solution. Vodouhe showed that the PLL/HA films passively loaded with taxol can regulate cell adhesion and viability by deposition of capping layers of PAH/PSS, which effects both drug release and cell adhesion [57],... 

Figure 6). The lqjnipescence quantum yield ( ) in solution for excited [Ru(bpy)J2 ] Is 4%. The same quantum yield is observed for adsorbed Ru(bpy)j in deh drgted hectorite. The luminescence quantum yield or [Cr(bpy)3 ] is 0.1% in solution and also in hydrated ( 16% H20 w/w) hectorite. Upon hydrating the hectorite film loaded with the Ru complex, increases slightly, whereas dehydrating the film loaded with the Cr complex increases by a factor of 100. In order to understand these opposite behaviors, the chemical reactivity of Cr(bpy)3 and of Ru(bpy>3 with respect to water must be recalled. ...

Figure 22.5 shows the current map above the surface of the sol-gel film loaded with NIR-sensitive containers recorded after 24 h of immersion before and after irradiation with an IR-laser. The corrosion disappears immediately after irradiation of the local defect area. Thus, the healing of the corrosion defect is induced by remote IR opening of the inhibitor-loaded containers near the defects. Moreover, these films are characterized by high anticorrosion ability during aging.

Rhodium complex was loaded onto the quatemised polymer support by the reaction with [Rh(CO)2I]2 in hexane (Eq 2). The resulting polymer beads or films showed the characteristic yellow colour of [Rh(CO)2I2] . An infrared spectrum of the powdered beads (KBr disk) showed two weak v(CO) absorptions of similar intensity at 2056 and 1984 cm 1, consistent with the presence of the cis-dicarbonyl complex, [Rh(CO)2I2]" (2059, 1988 cm 1 in CH2C12). Spectra of a much higher quality and intensity were obtained from polymer films loaded with rhodium complex. These observations of polymer supported [Rh(CO),I,r match those reported in the original study of Drago et al.

Tennakone et al. reported simultaneous reductive and oxidative photo-catalytic N2 fixation in aerated water in the presence of Nafion films loaded with hydrous iron(III) oxide [84]. (We note that Nafion film is a per-fluorinated ion-exchange membrane that, in the hydrogen-ion form, is a superacid. Some Nafion films are reinforced with Teflon.) Nafion film [85,86] was refluxed in concentrated HC1, washed repeatedly, and boiled in distilled water. The film was immersed in aqueous 0.1 MFeCl3 for 30 min, rinsed with water, and immersed in 0.8 M NaOH for 45 min. The treated film was found to contain particles of hydrous iron(HI) oxide with a diameter of about 48 A. The density distribution of Fe3+ in the treated film was approximately 2/imolcm"2.

One solution has been to use the teach and repeat manipulator technique described In Ref. 1 with the ability to spend as long as Is required in positioning the manipulator with cui unloaded camera before replaying the taught route with film loaded. A similar advantage acrues with the ability to preposition a camera and then send film to and from It rather than to remove the camera In order to load and reload the film.
