Fig. 14 Velocity dependence of dynamic friclional stress of PVA gel against solid substrates of various hydrophobicities in water (a) G2, (b) SW. (c) OTS-glass, and (d) F-glass. Hydrophobicity of the substrates is in the order G2 < SW < OTS-glass < F-glass. Normal strain 26% normal stress 14 kPa. Contact angles (0 ) of substrates to water are shown.

Carbon Cha.in Backbone Polymers. These polymers may be represented by (4) and considered derivatives of polyethylene, where n is the degree of polymeriza tion and R is (an alkyl group or) a functional group hydrogen (polyethylene), methyl (polypropylene), carboxyl (poly(acryhc acid)), chlorine (poly(vinyl chloride)), phenyl (polystyrene) hydroxyl (poly(vinyl alcohol)), ester (poly(vinyl acetate)), nitrile (polyacrylonitrile), vinyl (polybutadiene), etc. The functional groups and the molecular weight of the polymers, control thek properties which vary in hydrophobicity, solubiUty characteristics, glass-transition temperature, and crystallinity.

In an effort to restrict the location of semiconductor nanoparticles in LB films and inhibit aggregation, the formation of CdS in LB films of calixarenes was investigated [195]. Limiting areas of 3.0 nm and 1.8 nm were obtained on 0.5 mM CdCli, compatible with the cross-sectional areas of the calixarenes. Y-type LB fdms were prepared at 25 mN m on glass, quartz, and silicon. The substrates had been made hydrophobic by treatment with a silane vapor. After H2S treatment overnight in sealed jars, UV absorbance spectra and XPS data were obtained. The absorption edge for the CdS particles formed in the calixarene LB films transferred at pH 5.5 was 3.3 eV as compared with 2.7 eV for films formed in cad-... 

Monolayers of l-tert-bntyl-l,9-dihydrofullerene-60 on hydrophobized ITO glass exhibited three well-defined rednction waves at -0.55 V, -0.94 V, and -1.37 V (vs. satn-rated calomel electrode, SCE), with the first two stable to cycling [283]. Improved transfer ratios near nnity were reported. The peak splitting for the first two waves was 65-70 mV, mnch less than reported for the pnre C60-modified electrodes. The rednction and oxidation peak cnrrents were equal however, the peak currents were observed to be proportional to the sqnare root of the scan rate instead of being linear with the scan rate as normally expected for snrface-confined redox species. 

Other applications of filters include sterilization of venting or displacement air in tissue and microbiological culture (carbon filters and hydrophobic membrane filters) decontamination of air in mechanical ventilators (glass fibre filters) treatment of exhausted air ftom microbiological safety cabinets (HEPA filters) and the clarification and sterilization of medical gases (glass wool depth filters and hydrophobic membrane filters). 

P 21] Solutions of 10 M 4-(l-pyrenyl)butyric acid in ethanol and 10 M sulfuric acid in ethanol were contacted in a micro-mixing tee/micro channel flow configuration at room temperature and at 50 °C [91]. Pressure-driven feed was used. The glass surface of the micro channels was either tuned hydrophobic (by exposure to octadecyltrichlorosilane) or hydrophilic (by wetting with a sulfuric acid/hydrogen peroxide mixture).
