Alkanolamine Chelates. Alkanolamine chelates, which are prepared by reaction of tetraalkyl titanates with one or more alkanolamines, are used primarily in cross-linking water-soluble polymers (qv) (see Alkanolamines) (104). The products are used in thixotropic paint emulsion paints, in hydrauhc fracturing and drilling of oil and gas wells, and in many other fields. The stmcture of... 

Ahphatic dihahdes, like ethylene dichloride [107-06-2] react with alkylene amines to form various polymeric, cross-linked, water soluble cationic products (19) or higher alkyleneamine products depending on the reactant ratio. 

Halobutyl Cures. Halogenated butyls cure faster in sulfur-accelerator systems than butyl bromobutyl is generally faster than chlorobutyl. Zinc oxide-based cure systems result in C—C bonds formed by alkylation through dehydrohalogenation of the halobutyl to form a zinc chloride catalyst (94,95). Cure rate is increased by stearic acid, but there is a competitive reaction of substitution at the halogen site. Because of this, stearic acid can reduce the overall state of cure (number of cross-links). Water is a strong retarder because it forms complexes with the reactive intermediates. Amine cure may be represented as follows ...

Next would come the hydrates containing columns of water molecules, such as are found in the ettringite group, Cag[Al(0H)8]a(S04)s-26HaO then sheets, such as those of the clay minerals or of gypsum and finally the cryohydrates with complete networks of linked waters, as in the case of the hydrates of the gases already mentioned. 

As discussed earlier, hydrogels can be prepared by cross-linking water-soluble polymers. When immersed in water, such materials absorb water and swell, but they cannot dissolve because of the constraints imposed by the cross-linked structure. The volume expansion is limited by the degree of cross-linking. The minimum number of cross-links required to form an insoluble matrix is approximately 1.5 per chain, and this yields a system with the maximum expansion possible without separation of the chains into a true solution. Thus, a hydrogel may be more than 95% water, yet it has structure and, in that sense, has much in common with living soft tissues. 

Interfacial polymerization provides another method for depositing a thin layer upon a porous support [47,49]. In this case polymerization occurs between the two reactive monomers at the interface of the two-immiscible solvents. Heat treatment is often applied to complete the interfacial polymerization, to cross-link water-soluble monomer or prepolymer. The advantage of this technique is that the reaction is inhibited by the passage of a limited supply of reactants through the already formed polymer layer, resulting in extremely thin film of thickness in the range of 1-2 nm. Such membranes are therefore referred to as thin film composites. TFCs of various poly(amides) are very popular in RO apphcations. 

To deal with the complexity of natural water systems we employ simplified and workable models to illustrate the principal regulatory factors that control the chemical composition of natural waters. In general, these models must link water composition with that of the atmosphere and the sediments. A model need not be completely realistic in order to be useful. A useful model leads to... 

Two crystal structures of metal complexes of a,a-trehalose 133 are reported. Two Cd (tren) residues are chelated by the Glcp-02,03 and the Glcp-02, 03 diolato moieties, respectively, in the dinuclear complex 135 (O Fig. 29). As in free a,a-trehalose in the crystalline state, direct intramolecular hydrogen bonds are not found due to conformational restraints, but two sequences of the type 02 ---H-0 ---H-06 with a linking water molecule H2O" are observed (the reversed direction is found in free a,a-trehalose) [153]. Only one of the two Glcp-02,03-chelation sites of a, a -trehalose is chosen in a mononuclear complex with Ni-Me3tren, the iVA, iV -trimethyl analog of Ni-tren, in which no support by an intramolecular... 

A conceptual analogy of secular equilibrium is two linked water tanks of equal bottom area, each being drained by siphons of different internal diameter (Fig. 5.14). In this analogy, the higher tank contains a height of water, Hp, representing total number of parent radionuclides, Np. The inner diameter of the siphon draining the upper tank represents the decay constant of the parent, Xp. The...

Quaternary ammonium polymers were first discovered by Butler and Bunch (13) in 1949. In that investigation, tri- and tetraallyl quaternary ammonium salts were polymerized to form highly cross-linked water-insoluble polymers. In 1951, Butler and Ingley (14) reacted diallyl quaternary bromide salt to produce a polymer that was water-soluble and did not form a gel. Later, Butler (15) showed that the chloride ion form of diallylammonium monomers gave more useful polymers because of their higher molecular weights.
