Imitation chemical composition

There are three types of gemstone materials as defined by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (1) (/) natural gemstones are found in nature and at most are enhanced (see Gemstones, gemstone treatment) (2) imitation or simulated, fake, faux, etc, material resembles the natural material in appearance only and is frequendy only colored glass or even plastic and (3) synthetic material is the exact duplicate of the natural material, having the same chemical composition, optical properties, etc, as the natural, but made in the laboratory (2,3). Moreover, the word gem cannot be used for synthetic gemstone material. The synthetic equivalent of a natural material may, however, be used as an imitation of another, eg, synthetic cubic zirconia is widely used as a diamond imitation. 

Effect of Pressure on Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer Reactions of Seven-Coordinate Iron Complexes in Aqueous Solution It has been shown that seven-coordinate Fe(III) diaqua complexes consisting of a pentaaza macrocyclic ligand possess superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and therefore could serve an imitative SOD function.360 Choosing appropriate chemical composition of a chelate system yielded suitable pKa values for the two coordinated water molecules so that the Fe(III) complexes of 2,6-diacetylpyridine-bis(semicarbazone) (dapsox) and 2,6-diacetylpyridine-bis(semioxamazide) (dapsc) (see Scheme 7.12) would be present principally in the highly active aqua-hydroxo form in solution at physiological pH.361... 

Imitation a substance that looks or behaves like a particular material, but does not have the same chemical composition or internal structure. 

A digitized representation of powder data is quite compact and is especially convenient for comparison with other patterns, provided a suitable database is available. In addition to a digitized pattern, each entry in such a database may (and usually does) contain symmetry, imit cell dimensions, and other useful information phase name, chemical composition, references, basic physical and chemical properties, etc. Powder diffraction databases find substantial use in both simple identification of compounds (qualitative analysis) and in quantitative determination of the amounts of crystalline phases present in a mixture (quantitative analysis). 

Chain Structure. The chemical composition of PVDC has been confirmed by various techniques, including elemental analysis, x-ray diffraction analysis, degradation studies, and infrared (ir), Raman, and nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) spectroscopy. The polymer chain is made up of VDC imits added head-to-tail ... 

For ethylene/1-olefin copolymers, chain crystaUizabihty is mainly controlled by the fraction of noncrystalhzable comonomer imits in the chain. Consequently, the differential Crystaf profile shown in Fig. 1, together with an appropriate cahbration curve, can be used to estimate the copolymer chemical composition distribution (CCD), also called the short-chain branch distribution. The CCD of a copolymer describes the distribution of the... 

The mathematical modeling of the chemical composition of Chinese ancient ceramics also has practical value, since it can be used for distinguishing true ancient ceramics from the imitation products. 

Spectroscopic techniques are highly appropriate tools for determining the average chemical composition, provided that (a) the spectral properties of the different comonomeric units are sufficiently different, (b) the end-groups do not interfere with the measurement and (c) the imit absorptivity is independent of the molar mass and of the chain sequence. 

The physical characteristics of a fat or oil for imitation dairy products are not necessarily dictated by the fat being replaced, but by the composition, processiag methods, and conditions of use of the substitute product. Thus, the selection of the fat or oil is generally developed experimentally. The chemical and physical nature of the components of the system, order of addition, shear iaput, and processiag temperature dictate the final iateractions and the nature of the product. A comparison of the characteristics of milk fat and three different fats that are used ia satisfactory filled and imitation milks are listed ia Table 1 and those that comprise whipped toppiag, ia Table 2. 

There is great interest in the electrical and optical properties of materials confined within small particles known as nanoparticles. These are materials made up of clusters (of atoms or molecules) that are small enough to have material properties very different from the bulk. Most of the atoms or molecules are near the surface and have different environments from those in the interior—indeed, the properties vary with the nanoparticle s actual size. These are key players in what is hoped to be the nanoscience revolution. There is still very active work to learn how to make nanoscale particles of defined size and composition, to measure their properties, and to understand how their special properties depend on particle size. One vision of this revolution includes the possibility of making tiny machines that can imitate many of the processes we see in single-cell organisms, that possess much of the information content of biological systems, and that have the ability to form tiny computer components and enable the design of much faster computers. However, like truisms of the past, nanoparticles are such an unknown area of chemical materials that predictions of their possible uses will evolve and expand rapidly in the future. 

If the steric structures of both comonomer imits in random copolymers are similar, the melting temperature depression equation will be the same as Eq. 1, with the interaction parameter calculated with Eq. 4. For a given copolymer, the crystallizabilities of copolymer chains in dilute solution strongly depend on the chain composition. From thermodynanuc considerations, this can be explained from the fact that changes in copolymer composition alter the value of the interaction parameter de ed by Eq. 4. For copolymers with two chemically similar comonomers, xia will be very dose to xiB, ind Xab will approach zero, hi this system, one can simply use Eq. 1 with Xl = XiA Xib-...
