Styrene is a colorless Hquid with an aromatic odor. Important physical properties of styrene are shown in Table 1 (1). Styrene is infinitely soluble in acetone, carbon tetrachloride, benzene, ether, / -heptane, and ethanol. Nearly all of the commercial styrene is consumed in polymerization and copolymerization processes. Common methods in plastics technology such as mass, suspension, solution, and emulsion polymerization can be used to manufacture polystyrene and styrene copolymers with different physical characteristics, but processes relating to the first two methods account for most of the styrene polymers currendy (ca 1996) being manufactured (2—8). Polymerization generally takes place by free-radical reactions initiated thermally or catalyticaHy. Polymerization occurs slowly even at ambient temperatures. It can be retarded by inhibitors. 

AHyl chloride is a colorless Hquid with a disagreeable, pungent odor. Although miscible in typical compounds such as alcohol, chloroform, ether, acetone, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, heptane, toluene, and acetone, aHyl chloride is only slightly soluble in water (21—23). Other physical properties are given in Table 1. 

Physical properties of some commercially available polyamines appear in Table 1. Generally, they are slightly to moderately viscous, water-soluble Hquids with mild to strong ammoniacal odors. Although completely soluble in water initially, hydrates may form with time, particularly with the heavy ethyleneamines (TETA, TEPA, PEHA, and higher polyamines), to the point that gels may form or the total solution may soHdify under ambient conditions. The amines are also completely miscible with alcohols, acetone, benzene, toluene and ethyl ether, but only slightly soluble in heptane. 

Methane is the main constituent, with a boiling point of 119 K (—245°F). Ethane, with a boiling point of 184 K (—128°F) may be present in amounts up to 10 percent propane, with a boiling point of 231 K (—44°F), up to 3 percent. Butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, and octane may also be present. Physical properties of these hydrocarbons are given in Sec. 2. 

Isooctane, which is highly branched, bums smoothly with little knocking and is assigned an octane number of 100. Heptane, being unbranched, knocks badly. It is given an octane number of zero. Gasoline with the same knocking properties as a mixture of 90% isooctane and 10% heptane is rated as 90 octane. ... 

In conclusion, it should be pointed out that recently [51], a considerable growth of specific fluid volumetric flow rates was discovered near the saturation pressure on filtra tion of the solution of C02 in normal heptane and gas-liquid fossil carbohydrates (oils). A possible explanation of this effect can be found in the above theoretical discussion. Finally, going back to M. Amon and C. D. Denson s work [33], which was discussed at the end of Sect. 4, let us admit that their thesis No. 4 (melt properties as regards thermoplastic itself do not depend on gas concentration) is quite correct and in good correlation with experimental results [21].

Concentration of Chloroform in n-Heptane %w/v In contrast, the interactions with the stationary phase are becoming weaker as the surface becomes covered with chloroform. Thus retention is reduced by both the increased interactions in the mobile phase and reduced interaction with the stationary phase. When the concentration of chloroform in the solvent mixture is in excess of 50%, then the interactive properties of the stationary phase no longer change as the surface is now covered with a mono-layer of chloroform. However, solute retention will continue to decrease due to the increased interactions of the solute with the higher concentrations of chloroform in the mobile phase. It is clear that even with this simple example the dependence of retention on solvent composition is quite complex. 

As a result of the micellar environment, enzymes and proteins acquire novel conformational and/or dynamic properties, which has led to an interesting research perspective from both the biophysical and the biotechnological points of view [173-175], From the comparison of some properties of catalase and horseradish peroxidase solubilized in wa-ter/AOT/n-heptane microemulsions with those in an aqueous solution of AOT it was ascertained that the secondary structure of catalase significantly changes in the presence of an aqueous micellar solution of AOT, whereas in AOT/n-heptane reverse micelles it does not change. On the other hand, AOT has no effect on horseradish peroxidase in aqueous solution, whereas slight changes in the secondary structure of horseradish peroxidase in AOT/n-heptane reverse micelles occur [176],... 

B. Development of the Method. Figure 16 shows normalized chromatograms for various copolymers from GPC 2 with 57% n-heptane in THF as its mobile phase. In beginning the development of this technique, two major aspects are important (i) Variation in Molecular Properties Expected Within a Chromatogram Slice and (ii) Sources of Error in Analyzing for These Properties. These are discussed in turn below. 

Certain triorganotin fluorides are known to be effective vis-cosifiers for nonpolar solvents. Dunn and Oldfield (1 ) have studied the solution properties of tri-n-butyltin fluoride (BUF) in various organic solvents. They reported that, among n-alkanes, BUF dissolves only in n-hexane and not in n-heptane. This...
