Hygroscopic inorganic oxide

It has been shown that composites consisting of hydrated inorganic oxide (antimonic acid (AA), aluminium oxide, or SiO ) nanoparticles and poly(vinyl acetate)/glycerin gel are suitable for electrochromic applications since their chemical activity and hygroscopicity are lower than those for acid-based electrolytes. The electrical conductivity of the composites is S cm at room temperature, and the optical absorption is low. Zirconium phosphate (ZP), which is a well-known proton conductor, is a promising material for producing hydrated particles. The conductivity for nanocomposites of ZP as well as AA with poly(vinyl acetate)/glycerin gel were prepared and reported. 

Note Colorless, odorless (when pure), hygroscopic liquid, powerful aprotic solvent dissolves many inorganic salts, soluble in water combustible readily penetrates the skin incompatible with strong oxidizers and many halogenated compounds (e.g., alkyl halides, aryl halides), oxygen, peroxides, diborane, perchlorates. Synonyms DMSO, methyl sulfoxide, sulfinylbismethane. 

A powerful oxidizer. Flammable when shocked or exposed to heat or flame. A stable, flashless, non-hygroscopic high explosive used as a blasting explosive in combination with charcoal and inorganic nitrates. Keep away from heat and open flame. When heated to decomposition it emits vert toxic fumes of HNO3 and NOx. See also NITRATES, GUANIDINE MONOHYDROCHLORIDE, and EXPLOSIVES, HIGH. 

Posttreatment is necessary, because ammonium nitrate is highly hygroscopic. In view of its strong oxidizing power, only inorganic substances such as attapulgite, kieselguhr or clay can be used. 

BENZYLTREMETHYL AMMONIUM CHLORIDE (56-93-9) C,oH,fiClN (Fire Rating 1). Hygroscopic absorbs moisture or water from the air. Incompatible with strong acids oxidizers bases, amines, amides, and inorganic hydroxides. Fire decon josition products include ammonia, nitrogen oxides, and hydrogen chloride flames.
