Solid-state (topochemical) polymerization of cyclic disulfur dinitride to poly(sulfur nitride) (or polythiazyl), -fSN, occurs on standing at ambient temperature or higher [Banister and Gorrell, 1998 Labes et al., 1979 Ray, 1978]. Disulfur dinitride is obtained by sublimation of tetrasulfur tetranitride. Polythiazyl is a potentially useful material, since it behaves like a metal. It has an electrical conductivity at room temperature about the same order of magnitude as a metal like mercury and is a superconductor at 0.3°C. Polythiazyl also has high light reflectivity and good thermal conductivity. However, it is insoluble and infusible, which prevents its practical utilization. 

Many applications require accurate unit cell determinations such as solid solutions studies and thermal expansion coefficients. We discuss the case of cubic crystals first. Precision in ao, the unit cell parameter, depends upon accurate values of d. The key in this determination is to have accurate values of sinS. Fortunately, sinS varies very slowly for 6 angles near 90°. For example, an error of 1° in 0 leads to an error in sin 0 of about 0.3% at 80° but to a 1.0% error at 60°. Therefore the approach is to measure the high angle reflections very accmately and carry out a linear extrapolation of ao as a function of 0. ...

Clearly, the treatment of a solid involving of the order of 10 3 electrons is even a more complicated matter than that of an isolated molecule or complex in spite of the simplifications introduced by symmetry, and the use of effective potentials, and thus of a band theoretical approach, is probably not adequate in the discussion of wave function sensitive parameters such as spin distributions. But many important properties of solids reflect the electronic energy levels, rather than the finer details of the electronic distributions, and in spite of the fact that band calculations are rarely carried through to self consistency, band structures and energies of simple compounds may be determined sufficiently well to provide a good comparison with experimental data. The main effort has been directed to metals, where the valence electrons are weakly bound, and to simple compounds of high symmetry with the sodium chloride or diamond-like structure. In the latter case this effort also reflects the importance of these compounds in solid state physics and electronics and the elucidation of the band structure was essential for an understanding of many of the important properties of these materials. 

The basic thesis of Zisman s work was that the contact angle of a liquid on a solid reflects in some way the chemical constitution of the solid surface. He took the point of view Langomuir that the range of forces acting at the surface of a non-polar solid are short of the order of a few nanometers. Therefore, the contact angle must reflect the properties and in some fashion the actual composition of the surface of the solid. In this context, contact angle measurements are highly sensitive to the outer most chemical characteristics of solid surfaces.

The main application technique in the decorative area is still by hand (brush). Hence, future trends continue to reflect attention on worker exposure and environmental issues. This is already seen in the move to low aromatic content white spirits and isoparaffin solvents in conventional systems. High solids and waterborne technologies are being developed and both possess certain advantages and disadvantages, mainly relating to appearance and ease of use. Water-based systems bring, in principle, increased potential for water pollution, as consumers continue to rinse their brushes and paint rollers under the tap and transfer the water-soluble components such as amines and biocides to the aqueous environment. The consequence of diffuse water emissions of this type is still under debate.
