Hydrocarbons saturated, incompatibilities with

Phase-separated monolayers and liposomes were characterized by R. Elbert1011 who synthesized saturated and polymerizable fluorocarbon amphiphiles (59, 60, 61) and investigated their mixing behavior with CH2-analogues and natural lipids. In these systems the fluorocarbon compounds are incompatible with hydrocarbon lipids in a wide range of compositions and tend to form domains of pure fluorocarbon and hydrocarbon amphiphiles. The domains can be visualized by freeze-fracture electron microscopy. 

Radical reactions have been proposed to explain the mechanisms of many oxidations catalyzed by metals (Mimoun, 1987), but until now they were considered incompatible with the experimental evidence available for titanium silicate-catalyzed reactions. The recent results indicate that the rationalization of the observed facts with radical mechanisms is as plausible as that with other mechanisms. Indeed, for the oxidation of saturated hydrocarbons, the radical mechanisms are judged to account for the observations better than other mechanisms. Further investigations are needed to clarify these issues. 

Note Highly polar solvent sweet, ethereal odor soluble in water flammable, burns with a luminous flame highly toxic by ingestion, inhalation and skin absorption miscible with water, methanol, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, acetone, ethers, acetamide solutions, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, ethylene chloride, and many unsaturated hydrocarbons immiscible with many saturated hydrocarbons (petroleum fractions) dissolves some inorganic salts such as silver nitrate, lithium nitrate, magnesium bromide incompatible with strong oxidants hydrolyzes in the presence of aqueous bases and strong aqueous acids. Synonyms methyl cyanide, acetic acid nitrile, cyanomethane, ethylnitrile. 

Fluorocarbons are known to be highly incompatible with both saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons. 

It is clear that blends of most polymers with PP are highly incompatible, due to the large phase sizes exhibited by such materials. However, on the basis of chemical similarity, one might suspect that PP would be miscible with other saturated hydrocarbon polymers, such as the other polyolefins, at least under certain conditions. This has been an area of much investigation in the last fifteen years, and this is summarized in this section.
