There are a number of applieations such as bottle and film where tough materials of high elarity are desired. The advent of MBS material has been a significant advance to meet the requirements. It has been found possible here to produce an additive with sufficiently different solubility parameters from the PVC for it to exist in the disperse phase but with a very similar refractive index to the PVC so that light scattering at the interface between the two phases is at a minimum. However, owing to differences in the formulation of PVC compounds, a particular MBS modifier may not have exactly the same refractive index as the PVC eompound. 

Patients should be taught how to administer topical therapy. With a forefinger pulling down the lower eyelid to form a pocket, the patient should place the dropper over the eye, look at the tip of the bottle, and then look up and place a single drop in the eye. To maximize topical activity and minimize systemic absorption, the patient should close the lid for 1 to 3 minutes after instillation and place the index finger over the nasolacrimal drainage system in the inner corner of the eye. 

Commercial barrier resins which are used as packaging films and blown bottles are produced by blending copolymers of acrylonitrile, ethyl acrylate, and butadiene with selected copolymers of acrylonitrile. These barrier resins have a Tg of about 125 C, a coefficient of linear expansion of 6.7 X 10 5 cm/cm C, a heat deflection temperature of 77 C, and an index of refraction of 1.511. These resins are resistant to nonoxidizing alkalis and acids and are decomposed by mineral acids. 

Transparent Polymers. Amorphous thermoplastics, like poly (methyl methacrylate), polystyrene, SAN, PVC, or the cellulose esters are transparent and used for glazing, photographic film, blown bottles, or clear packaging containers. Only a few crystalline thermoplastics, like poly (4-methyl-l-pentane), where the crystalline and the amorphous phases have almost identical refractive indexes, or polycarbonate, which has smaller crystals than the wavelength of light, are also transparent. R. Kosfeld and co-workers analyzed the mobility of methyl groups in polycarbonate, poly (methyl methacrylate) and poly( -methyl styrene) by NMR spectroscopy. 

The efficacy and safety of new inhalation anesthetics has to be evaluated in pharmacological experiments. Robbins (1946) defined the anesthetic AD50 as the concentration of anesthetic at which 50 % of mice failed to right themselves for 15 s when placed in a rotating bottle with a known concentration of anesthetic. The concentration of the anesthetic that caused apnea in 50 % of the mice in 10 min was defined as the LD50 and the ratio LD50IAD50 as and an index of safety. 

How to Handle Powdered Chemicals and Crystals. If the stopper is hollow, turn the bottle on its side and rotate it with one hand until some of the contents are inside the stopper. Remove the stopper in such a manner that the chemical remains in it, but none falls from the mouth of the bottle. Gently tap the stopper with your index finger until the correct amount has fallen out. Replace the stopper. 

Gas-handling system for gas refractive index determination. Many connections are made with Swagelok and/or Ultra-Torr fittings. The HCI lecture bottle must be securely fastened to the laboratory bench. 

Figure 1-5 While holding the bottle, the second knuckle of the thumb (interphalangeal joint) of the dominant hand is placed against the first knuckle of the index finger (metacarpophalangeal joint). (From Ritch R, et al. An improved technique of eyedrop self-administration for patients with limited vision. Am J Ophthalmol 2003 135 531-532.)...

Diphenyltrifluorophosphorane is a colorless liquid, markedly more stable in the atmosphere and toward glass than phenyltetrafluorophosphorane or dialkyltrifluorophospho-ranes. Hydrolysis leads to diphenylphosphinic fluoride and, ultimately, to diphenylphosphinic acid. The fluoro-phosphorane can be stored in glass bottles over prolonged periods. The reported boiling point is 106 to 107°/2 mm., and the refractive index n = 1.5410. (The checkers report 1.5413 at 20°.)... 

In a number of cases, particularly with simple molecules, the commonly accepted trivial name is more clearly indicative of their properties, source and reactivity. The lUPAC rules indicate that some of these trivial names are preferred and they are in current common usage in the scientific literature and on the bottles found in the laboratory. However, systematic nomenclature is used for more complex structures, for indexing and for abstracting. Consequently, both have to be known. In this book we will use the common trivial names, giving where appropriate the systematic name as well. 

Specific Gravity.—The physical constants of fats and oils are often used for purposes of identification. Those most commonly used are, specific gravity, melting point or solidification point, refractive index and viscosity. The specific gravity may be most readily determined, in the case of oils or easily melting fats by means of an immersion hydrometer. It may also be determined more accurately by use of a specific gravity bottle or picnometer. The specific gravity of some oils may be cited as follows ... 

A) Liquids for Refractive-Index Determinations. Table 4 lists a number of liquids which are commercially available in uniform 25-ml glass-stoppered bottles and are suitable for refractive-index determinations. Obtain from the instructor a few drops of two or three known liquids and determine the refractive index of each. Tabulate the observations. 

A certain lake becomes thermally stratified on May 15. The hypolimnion averages 4 m thick. Thereafter, 02 in the hypolimnion begins to decrease at a rate of 0.1 ppm per day. (This is called the hypolimnetic oxygen deficit, and it is commonly used as an index of a lake s biological productivity.) When bottles of the hypolimnetic water are incubated under temperature and light mimicking natural conditions, the daily 02 decrease in the bottles is 0.07 ppm and the rate of decrease seems to be constant for several days. 

The applicator is soaked in Lip Eyelid solution and carefully squeezed out on the inside of the neck of the bottle to get rid of any excess and avoid drips. The solution must be applied slowly and conscientiously to each square millimeter of the facial skin. The right hand holds the handle of the applicator between the thumb, index finger and middle finger. By moving the thumb smoothly over the other two fingers, the applicator can be rolled over the... 

M 511.1, m >200 , Cl 11050. The dye dissolves in H2O to give a bluish violet solution which becomes colourless when made lOM in NaOH. It dissolves in EtOH to give a blue-violet colour, filter from insoluble material, then add dry Et20 whereby the dye separates out leaving a small amount of blue colour in solution. Filter off the solid and dry it in a vacuum. Store it in a dark bottle. [Colour Index Vol 4, 3 edn, 4015 7977.]... 

Indeed, at low temperature the polaritons are concentrated in the bottle neck region. Their diffusion constant along the surface of the film can be estimated as D vp p, where vp is the group velocity of the polaritons in this region and p is their mean free path. Since p = c/(wk), where k is the imaginary part of the refractive index ((2lj/c)k 104 — 105 cm-1), and vp a 105 cm/s, one obtains for the diffusion constant D > 1 cm2/s, which agrees within an order of magnitude with the value obtained in the TG experiments. 

In a quite different but very important industrial area, free-radical polymerizations have made great inroads In the optimization of the desired commercial properties of impact-modified poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC). In a most sophisticated variation, grafted impact modifiers based on the quaterpolymerization of acrylic esters, butadiene, styrene, and acrylonitrile have been produced and almost precisely match the refractive index of PVC. The blending of the Impact modifier with PVC yields a completely clear polymer suitable for shampoo bottles and food containers. In addition to excellent clarity these polymers have extremely good impact strength combined with improved fabricability by flow molding equipment. 

A transparent rigid vinyl bottle compound is produced by blending PVC homopolymer with a methyl methacrylate/butadiene/ styrene graft polymer of equal refractive index. 

ABS-type resins are used as impact modifiers for PVC, but the resultant blend has insufficient transparency for application in clear bottles. Transparency can be obtained by grafting PMMA onto crosslinked PBD (5) or poly (butyl acrylate) (6) which has been previously grafted onto PS (Diagram 4). In this case the PMMA branch is compatible with PVC by virtue of its solubility parameter, and optical clarity results from suitable component ratios in the graft copolymer so that the refractive index matches that of PVC. The desired results are not obtained if a copolymer of methyl methacrylate and styrene is...
