Elastomers. Elastomers is a generic name for polymers that exhibit rubberlike elasticity. Elastomers are soft yet sufficiently elastic that they can be stretched several hundred percent under tension. When the stretching force is removed, they retract rapidly and recover their original dimensions. 

Vinal fibers, or poly(vinyl alcohol) fibers, are not made in the United States, but the fiber is produced commercially in Japan, Korea, and China where the generic name vinylon is used. These materials are the subject of this article (see also Vinyl polymers, vinyl alcohol polymers). 

Gellan Gum. GeUan gum is the generic name for the extraceUular polysaccharide produced by the bacterium. Pseudomonas elodea (ATCC 31461). Proprietary to Kelco Division of Merck Co., Inc., geUan gum is manufactured in an aerobic, submerged fermentation (76). 

Because the chemical stmcture of poly(phenylene sulfide) [9016-75-5] (PPS) does not fall into any of the standard polymer classes, the Federal Trade Commission granted the fiber the new generic name of Sulfar. The fiber has excellent chemical and high temperature performance properties (see...

Open-chain saturated hydrocarbons have the generic names alkanes and paraffins. In this article, terms such as hexanes, heptanes, and octanes are synonymous with C, C, and Cg alkanes, respectively, and do not refer to the straight chains of 6 carbons, 7 carbons, and 8 carbons, as defined in the lUPAC system. 

The ending ene is adopted for straight-chain monounsaturated hydrocarbons. Thus, butenes refer to 1-butene and 2-butene. The en.6m. jlene denotes a monounsaturated hydrocarbon that consists of the same number of carbons as expressed by the name ie, butylenes are 1-butene, 2-butene, and isobutylene (methylpropene). The generic names alkenes and olefins refer to monounsaturated hydrocarbons.

Thermal Printing. Thermal printing is a generic name for methods that mark paper or other media with text and pictures by imagewise heating of special-purpose consumable media. Common technologies are direct thermal thermal, ie, wax, transfer and dye-sublimation, ie, diffusion, transfer. Properties and preferred appHcations are diverse, but apparatus and processes are similar (87—89). 

Synthesis by oxidation remains the first choice for commercial and laboratory preparation of quinones the starting material (1) provided the generic name quinone. This simple, descriptive nomenclature has been abandoned by Chemicaly hstracts, but remains widely used (2). The systematic name for (2) is 2,5-cyclohexadiene-l,4-dione. Several examples of quinone synonyms are given in Table 1. Common names are used in this article. 1,2-Benzoquinone (3,5-cydohexadiene-l,2-dione) (3) is also prepared by oxidation, often with freshly prepared silver oxide (3). Compounds related to (3) must be prepared using mild conditions because of their great sensitivity to both electrophiles and nucleophiles (4,5). 

Acetylsalicylic acid [50-78-2] (i9-acetyoxyben2oic acid) was first synthesized in 1853 by reaction of acetyl chloride with sodium saUcylate. As a dmg, acetylsahcyhc acid was introduced in Germany in 1899 and into the United States in 1900. The first U.S. patent (35) for the manufacture of acetylsaUcyhc acid expired in 1917. Aspirin is a registered trademark of Bayer in many nations, but in the United States and the United Kingdom, aspirin is accepted as the generic name for acetylsahcyhc acid (36).

Sutures are sold ia the United States under generic and/or proprietary names. The most widely sold sutures are Hsted ia Table 1. The generic names for the synthetic polymeric sutures are those that have been approved by the United States Adopted Names Council (USAN). 

Although Saran is a generic name for VDC copolymers in the United States, it is a Dow trademark in most foreign countries. Other trade names include Daran (Hampshire Chemical Corporation) and Serfene (Morton Chemical) in the United States, and Haloflex (Zeneca Resins), Diofan (BASE), Ixan (Solvay SA), and Polyidene (Scott-Bader) in Europe. The monomer is of particular economic interest because it is only 27 wt % hydrocarbon. In addition, B. E. Goodrich Chemicals (GEON) supply non-barrier VDC copolymers.
