To investigate the elastic properties resulting from ether-functionalized silylester condensates, the diethoxymethyl derivatives were used in 1 1-mixtures with the commercial stone consolidant F510 of Remmers Bauchemie to prepare thick siloxane films in Petri dishes. Fig. lb shows a photograph of the polycondensate obtained from F510 modified with (3-methoxypropyl)diethoxymethylsilane. In comparison with the film produced by hydrolysis and condensation of the unmodified consolidant (Fig. la), considerably less shrinking fissures are observed. 

The capillary columns are the most used columns for the separation of A-nitrosamines. These enable better separations and sensitivities than packed columns with comparatively lower temperatures, hence preventing the decomposition of thermally labile compounds. The most commonly used columns are made of siloxane polymers like DB-5 and of poliethylene glycol like DV-wax. Column lengths of 15 to 30 m and film thickness of 0.25 to 1.0 /rm are used in many applications. The high capacity of 1.0 /rm film allows the injection of large volumes of samples. This can be an important feature when TEA or MS detectors are used. 

Crosslinked poly(siloxane) with methyl, octyl, phenyl, biphenyl, or cyanopropyl substituents. Column length 2-10 m with an internal diameter of 25-100 pm (50 pm most common) and film thickness <1.0pm(0.25pm most common). Mobile phase velocity 10 Uopt or about 1-4 cm/s. 

CP-Sil-5CB (poly(dimethyl siloxane)), film thickness 0.12 pm, and a temperature program without resort ing to methoximation of sugars. Capillary gas chromatography with a phenyl (50%) dimethylpolysiloxane phase has been validated for the simultaneous determination of D-pinnitol, wyo-inositol, and their derivatives, as trimethyl-silyl-derivatives. 

Starch adipate, a cross-bonded starch for food use, is made by reaction with adipic anhydride, which is formed from adipic acid in the presence of excess acetic anhydride. It is also a labile ester, and after hydrolysis with alkali, followed by acidification, is extracted with ethyl acetate and silylated. Gas chromatographic analysis is performed on a capillary column of fused silica coated with dimethyl siloxane, film thickness 5 pm. Pimelic acid is the internal standard. The method cannot differentiate between mono- and disubstitution. Alkyl succinate substitution can be determined using the same procedure as for adipate. 

C/min), followed by an increase to 230°C (4°C/min), and finally to 300°C (30°C/min), which was held for 5 min. The MS analysis was performed on electron impact (El) mode. The analysis of residual anabolic steroids in meat was reported by Fuh, Huang, and Lin. The isolation was conducted by SPE. To derivatize the isolated steroids, MSTFA" "" " was used. The enzymatic hydrolysis was not conducted, as previous studies have discovered that there was no significant hormone liberation involved in muscle, fatty tissue, and meat. The derivatization products were then subjected to GC-MS/MS analysis. For this purpose, a DB-5 GC column (30 m X 0.25 mm, with 0.25 pm film thickness) was used, with a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The oven temperature was initially set at 180°C (1 min), increased to 240°C (6°C/min, for 2 min), and finally increased to 290°C (6°C/min, held for 10 min). The MS analysis was performed on El mode. Impens et al. " used a non-polar 5% phenyl-polysilphenylene-siloxane BPX-5 GC column to analyze anabolic steroids in bovine urine. The sample was derivatized with MSTFA" before being injected for the GC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS/MS analyses. The oven temperature was initially set to 100°C (1 min), then increased to 250°C (30°C/min), followed by an increase to 290°C (2.5°C/min), and finally to 300 C (10°C/min), which was held for 1.5 min. Interested readers can consult Refs. 3, 8, and 18-25 for details. 

Although it is possible to chemically bond polymethyl-siloxane polymers on fused silica capillary columns with film thicknesses up to 5 m (high capacity columns), these capillary columns provide a relatively low resolution. 

The analysis of reactants and products were carried out using a Hewlett-Packard (model no. HP 5890) gas chromatograph instrument. HP-1 (phenyl methyl siloxane as stationary phase) capillary column (diameter 30 pm, film thickness 0.25 pm, length 30 m) was used for quantitative analysis of the reactant and products. The conditions of GC analysis were ... 

WCOT Methyl Silicone Column, 30 m (1181 in.) long by 0.53 mm (0.021 in.) inside diameter fused silica WCOT column with a 2.6 pm film thickness of cross-linked methyl siloxane. This column was used in the cooperative study to provide the precision and bias data referred to in Section 15. 

WCOT Methyl Silicone Column, 30 m long by 0.53-mm inside diameter fused silica WCOT column with a 5,0- jm film thickness of cross-linked methyl siloxane. 

Ultra-thin Hquid films of PDMS or poly(methyl-hydrodimethyl)siloxane on siHcon substrates were also prepared [50], The silicon wafers were cleaned by immersion in a freshly prepared piranha solution (a mixture of 70% sulfuric acid and 30% hydrogen peroxide), rinsing with deionized water, followed by etching in HF solution. Then the wafers were rinsed with deionized water and blown dry under a stream of nitrogen. The uniform thin films were spread by dipping the clean substrates in dilute solutions of silicone polymers in hexane and withdrawing the wafers at a constant speed. It was shown that solution concentration and withdrawal speed affected the final film thickness. Typical thickness was in the range of 3-8 nm. 

Since crosslinking of the polymer occurs as the result of the initial formation of silyl radicals, the siloxane polymer containing both phenyldisilanyl units and functional groups which undergo radical polymerization should produce solid material whatever the thickness of the films. To ascertain this, we have examined the photochemical behavior of the polymers 2-4. 

Films of y-APS on steel do not contain siloxanes if veiy thin, but they become detectable as the thickness increases. 

Careful XPS analysis of a series of poly(dimethylsiloxane-urea-urethane) multiblock copolymers demonstrated that, as well as a surface layer of siloxane, there was a layer enriched in the hard block immediately beneath this. The thickness of both these layers depended on the molecular weights of the soft and hard block segments, respectively112. Annealing of these copolymers increased the thickness of both layers. The same authors have also shown that the thickness of these layers of hard and soft blocks could be modified by use of solvent mixtures which selectively precipitate the polar hard block during film formation by solvent casting113.
