Light cellulosics

These procedures require such a low amount of material that proteins or nucleic acids present in a single cell can be separated [56-57]. For the separation of RNA and DNA cellulose fibres (20 nm X 10-20 /tm) are placed on a quartz glass, washed with alkali and treated with a viscous buffer, and imbedded in a paraffin oil chamber the sample is applied by means of a micromanipulator and separation is carried out within 5-10 min at 1800 V. Detection is done by photographing the thread in UV light. Cellulose acetate microstrips can also be used for microelectro-phoretic procedures Marchalonis and Nossal [58] used this technique for the...

Currently, almost all acetic acid produced commercially comes from acetaldehyde oxidation, methanol or methyl acetate carbonylation, or light hydrocarbon Hquid-phase oxidation. Comparatively small amounts are generated by butane Hquid-phase oxidation, direct ethanol oxidation, and synthesis gas. Large amounts of acetic acid are recycled industrially in the production of cellulose acetate, poly(vinyl alcohol), and aspirin and in a broad array of other... 

A second degradation process is oxidation, often photo-induced especially by exposure to light not filtered for uv. The radicals resulting from this reaction promote depolymerization of the cellulose, as well as yellowing and fa ding of paper and media. Aging causes paper to become more crystalline and fragile, and this can be exacerbated particularly if the paper is subjected to poor conditions. 

Phloroglucinol is Hsted in the Colourindex as Cl Developer 19. It is particularly valuable in the dyeing of acetate fiber but also has been used as a coupler for azoic colors in viscose, Odon, cotton (qv), rayon, or nylon fibers, or in union fabrics containing these fibers (157). For example, cellulose acetate fabric is treated with an aromatic amine such as (9-dianisidine or a disperse dye such as A-hydroxyphenylazo-2-naphthylamine and the amine diazotizes on the fiber the fabric is then rinsed, freed of excess nitrite, and the azo color is developed in a phloroglucinol bath at pH 5—7. Depending on the diazo precursor used, intense blue to jet-black shades can be obtained with excellent light-, bleach-, and mbfastness. 

The deck may be nailable, eg, wood or light weight concrete, or not, eg, steel or stmctural concrete. The felts or mats may be organic (cellulose), or fiber glass. The roof slope ranges from dead level (0—2.1 cm/m), to flat (2.1—12.5 cm/m), to steep (12.5—25 cm, /m). 

Cellulose esters of unsaturated acids, such as the acetate methacrylate, acetate maleate (34), and propionate crotonate (35), have been prepared. They are made by treating the hydrolyzed acetate or propionate with the corresponding acyl chloride in a pyridine solvent. Cellulose esters of unsaturated acids are cross-linkable by heat or uv light solvent-resistant films and coatings can be prepared from such esters. 

Citric acid esters are used as plasticizers ia plastics such as poly(viayl chloride), poly(vinhdene chloride), poly(viQyl acetate), poly(viQyl butyral), polypropylene, chlorinated rubber, ethylceUulose, and cellulose nitrate. Most citrate esters are nontoxic and are acceptable by the FDA for use in food-contact packaging and for flavor in certain foods. As a plasticizer, citrate esters provide good heat and light stabiUty and excellent flexibiUty at low temperatures. Triethyl citrate, tri- -butyl citrate, isopropyl citrate, and stearyl citrate are considered GRAS for use as food ingredients (224—228). 

Only one other eellulose ether has been marketed for moulding and extrusion applieations, benzyl cellulose. This material provides a rare example of a polymer whieh although available in the past is no longer commercially marketed. The material had a low softening point and was unstable to both heat and light and has thus been unable to compete with the many alternative materials now available. 

Where transparency is required, a range of polymers is available. Polystyrene is the least expensive but polymethylmethacrylate has an outstanding high light transmission combined with excellent weathering properties. Also to be considered are the polycarbonates, glass-clear polyamides, SAN, butadiene-styrene block copolymers, MBS polymers, plasticised PVC, ionomers and cellulose esters such as cellulose acetate.

Optical Properties. The optical properties of a plastic which are important are refraction, transparency, gloss and light transfer. The reader is referred to BS 4618 1972 for precise details on these terms. Table 1.9 gives data on the optical properties of a selection of plastics. Some plastics may be optically clear (e.g. acrylic, cellulosics and ionomers) whereas others may be made transparent. These include epoxy, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polysulphone and PVC.

A similar type of condensation between a hydroxyl-containing polymer (such as secondary cellulose acetate) with VO(BrC6H4N=CHO CfiH4)2 CUVOL2CI] produces photoactive polymers [68]. When irradiated with UV light in the presence of styrene or MMA, grafted and crosslinked polymers were obtained ... 

UV absorbers have been found to be quite effective for stabilization of polymers and are very much in demand. They function by the absorption and harmless dissipation of the sunlight or UV-rich artificial radiation, which would have otherwise initiated degradation of a polymer material. Meyer and Geurhart reported, for the first time in 1945 [10], the use of UV absorber in a polymer. They found that the outdoor life of cellulose acetate film was greatly prolonged by adding phenyl salicylate (salol) [10]. After that, resorcinol monobenzoate, a much more effective absorber, was introduced in 1951 [11] for stabilization of PP, but salol continued to be the only important commercial stabilizer for several years. The 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone was marketed in 1953, followed shortly by 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone and other derivatives. Of the more commonly known UV absorbers, the 2-hydroxybenzophenones, 2-hy-droxy-phenyl-triazines, derivatives of phenol salicylates, its metal chelates, and hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) are widely used in the polymer industry. 

Fig. 4.1.17 Graphic illustration of Forster-type resonance energy transfer from aequorin to Aequorea GFP. In the vessel at left, a solution contains the molecules of aequorin and GFP randomly distributed in a low ionic strength buffer. The vessel at right contains a solution identical with the left, except that it contains some particles of DEAE cellulose. In the solution at right, the molecules of aequorin and GFP are coadsorbed on the surface of DEAE particles. Upon an addition of Ca2+, the solution at left emits blue light from aequorin (Xmax 465 nm), and the solution at right emits green light from GFP (Xmax 509 nm).
