INDEX rigid

Selection of a name for a specific compound is heavily influenced by the purpose at hand communication to a general audience, communication with specialists, or storage/retrieval through archival indexes. The first requires the simplest rules possible the second requires the shortest names possible and the third requires rigid adherence to a set of rules that will reliably generate a unique name. The name chosen may be different for each situation, although that is not necessarily so. 

As mentioned earlier, unmodified polystyrene first found application where rigidity and low cost were important prerequisites. Other useful properties were the transparency and high refractive index, freedom from taste, odour and toxicity, good electrical insulation characteristics, low water absorption and comparatively easy processability. Carefully designed and well-made articles from polystyrene were often found to be perfectly suitable for the end-use intended. On the other hand the extensive use of the polymers in badly designed and badly made products which broke only too easily caused a reaction away from the homopolymer. This resulted, first of all, in the development of the high-impact polystyrene and today this is more important than the unmodified polymer (60% of Western European market). 

Thus, the operators H and have the same eigenfunctions, namely, the spherical harmonics Yj iO, q>) as given in equation (5.50). It is customary in discussions of the rigid rotor to replace the quantum number I by the index J m the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues. 

Some of the rigidly systematic names selected by the Association for Science Education for their nomenclature list in 1985 from the IUPAC possibilities, and some of the systematic indexing names used by Chemical Abstracts since 1972, are given as synonyms in the Index of Chemical Names (Appendix 4). This should assist those coming into industry and research with a command of those nomenclature systems but who may be unfamiliar with the current variety of names used for chemicals. The inclusion where possible of the CAS Registry Number for each title compound should now simplify the clarification of any chemical name or synonym problems, by reference to the Registry Handbook or other CAS source. 

AS A FLAME RETARDANT. The zinc borate is an efficient synergist of organic halogen sources. In certain halogen-containing systems such as unsaturated polyester, epoxy (3), and rigid PVC, the zinc borate alone can outperform antimony oxide as shown by the Oxygen Index and UL-94 tests (Fig. 3, 4, and 5). 

Rigid skeletal models can be indexed in any arbitrary manner but once an assignment of skeletal indices has been made, it must be retained. 

PVC resists hydrolysis well but is naturally sensitive to light and UV. It must be protected by addition of anti-UV and other protective agents. In these cases, long warranty periods can be allowed, for example ten years and more. For a white, protected, rigid PVC, after natural weathering for 3 years in Michigan, the retention of impact strength is 68% and the yellowness index increases by 5. 

Flexible PVC generally burns more easily than rigid PVC, the more so the higher the level of flammable plasticizers. Oxygen indices as low as 20 are quoted. Using fire-retardant plasticizers the oxygen index can reach 40. 

Aqueous soap solutions can be obtained in three distinct forms, the sol form containing the ionic micelle, a clear gel, and a white opaque solid the curd. The sol and gel forms of various soaps have been examined by McBain and his co-workers and shown to differ only in elasticity and rigidity, whilst the electrical conductivity, refractive index, concentration of metallic ion and lowering of the vapour pressure are all identical, results to be anticipated on the fibrillar theory. The gel as we have seen is fibrillar in nature and the conversion of a gel into a curd is brought about by the removal of soap fi om solutions in the form of relatively coarse fibres, a process similar to crystallisation. The experiments of Laing and McBain... 

Force of an explosive is roughly an index of the weight lifting or heaving ability. Suppose the explosion takes place in a large closed chamber with rigid walls. If v is the...
