Melt, generally

While the chemistry of radiation curable hot melt adhesives is the same as that used in liquid (syrup) adhesives and coatings discussed elsewhere in this volume, there is a fundamental difference between the objectives of reaction in the two types of systems. Syrups consist largely or entirely of reactive monomeric and/or oligomeric materials. Radiation is used to initiate the polymerization of virtually the entire mass. In contrast, hot melts generally contain polymers initially, and these polymers are capable of reaction via radiation to produce chain extension and... 

Ionic liquids formed by treatment of a halide salt with a Lewis acid (such as chloro-aluminate or chlorostannate melts) generally act both as solvent and as co-catalyst in transition metal catalysis. The reason for this is that the Lewis acidity or basicity, which is always present (at least latently), results in strong interactions with the catalyst complex. In many cases, the Lewis acidity of an ionic liquid is used to convert the neutral catalyst precursor into the corresponding cationic active form. The activation of Cp2TiCl2 [26] and (ligand)2NiCl2 [27] in acidic chloroaluminate melts and the activation of (PR3)2PtCl2 in chlorostannate melts [28] are examples of this land of activation (Eqs. 5.2-1, 5.2-2, and 5.2-3). 

The crude acid is purified by dissolving in 360-400 ml. of cold 5% sodium bicarbonate solution, filtering, and acidifying the filtrate with sufficient excess of mineral acid to turn Congo red paper blue. The product is separated by suction filtration, washed with water to remove mineral acid, and air-dried. Material thus obtained weighs 17.9-18.7 g. (67-70% yield). It melts generally (Note 6) between 202° and 205°, and is sufficiently pure (Note 7) for most practical purposes. 

Ethylene-copolymer melts generally have a vinyl acetate proportion of approx. 5 to 35% by weight, equivalent to a melt index of Ml216/i9o°c=2 to 500 g/10 min. The melt temperatures in the low-pressure trap range from 160 to 200 °C, depending on the viscosity of the melt. Depending on the polymerization and on the pressure in the low-pressure trap, the melt contains free vinyl acetate (approx. 4000 ppm) in addition to the known ethylene content of... 

The cloddy again is two-fold-mined and manufactured. That which is manufactured is, further, of two kinds-that which is obtained by melting (generally of natural mined alum), and that which is coagulated. Of all these species we have the cloddy alone at the present day. 

Electrochemical studies in alkaline melts are complicated by the absence ol detailed information on the chemistry of corresponding systems, and in particular or solvation processes. Moist melts generally represent the limiting case of strong base solutions. It would undoubtedly useful to study the changes in the kinetics and the composition of the products of anodic electrocrystallization in a model system upor the gradual transition from common alkaline solutions to concentrated bases, anc then to alkaline melts with different water contents. 

Chemical hardening by surface ion-exchange in a salt melt, generally potassium nitrate, is even more effective. In this way sodium ions are exchanged for the larger potassium ions, so that compression strain is retilized in the surface. 

Electric arc resistance heated furnaces and electrical melting units are mainly used for refractory ceramic fibers, due to the high melting temperatures of the raw materials. In ovens with resistance heating the melt itself acts as the electrical resistance, since silicate melts generally become sufficiently conductive with increasing temperature to transport sufficient current, due to ionic conduction. 

The thermochromism of spiropyrans, discovered in 1926, has been extensively studied. Nearly every known compound of this class leads to deep color on melting (generally red, purple, or blue). However, heating solutions of spiropyrans also causes coloration. Day1 in his review gave a table reporting essentially thermochromic spiropyrans of the indoline and spirobipyran series. Bertelson6 summarized the main spectroscopic and physicochemical data obtained up to 1971. Thermochromic properties of spirooxazines have been more recently reported.7... 

Previous authors [19, 21-23, 34] also reported that the polymer concentration is nearly constant in the region 250-420 °C although their absolute values in some cases differ from more recent results because of deficiencies in the quenching procedure or the impact of impurities including the water used for chilling the melt. Generally, it is assumed that the polymer is present as an ideal solution in a melt of small ring molecules. 

Hamiltonian circuits are a mathematical idealization of polymer melts. General considerations concerning these circuits are given here. Exact results, in two dimensions will be found at the end of the next chapter. 

Thermodynamic and structural evidence points to the marked departure from spherical symmetry of polyatomic ions as one factor which strongly favours the formation of association complexes when the crystals are melted. General indications may be... 

Twelve hundred to 1500 lbs. of impure antimony are charged into the furnace, previously heated to a red heat. As soon as the metal is melted, generally in less than half an hour, 3 to 7 per cent, of soda, with which is mixed a little coke-dust or fine charcoal, is added, according to the purity of the metal After this the heat is raised to bright redness in order to fuse the soda. During the charging and the fusion, vapour of antimonious and arsenious oxides is given off. 

Ionic liquids formed by the reaction of a halide salt with a Lewis acid (e.g. chloroa-luminate or chlorostannate melts) generally act as both solvent and co-catalyst in... 

Aluminnm, magnesium, and titaninm may each be present in tetrahedral and octahedral coordinations, and the proportion of the two forms depends on the oxide composition of the melt. Generally, the fraction of sixfold-coordinated species increases with increasing CaO and MgO contents and increasing C/S and A/S ratios. 

The addition of fluoride ions to phosphate melts generally reduces their viscosity. This is believed to be due to the breaking of P-O-P linkages as a result of formation of P-F terminal linkages (12.64a) [21],...
