Microcrystalline systems

Since the layer is extremely thin, Bernoulli s differential equations (see Section 3.4.1) reduce to the normal photokinetic equations (see eq. (5.107)). The boundary conditions of constant /abs.A as well as constant a z,t) within the z-direction of the measurement beam can be used as a first approximation. 

The only problem is the value of e d (absorption coefficient of the layer), since d is not really known. The product, however, can be estimated using

Polymers are difficult to model due to the large size of microcrystalline domains and the difficulties of simulating nonequilibrium systems. One approach to handling such systems is the use of mesoscale techniques as described in Chapter 35. This has been a successful approach to predicting the formation and structure of microscopic crystalline and amorphous regions. 

The second system studied was the separation of the chiral epoxide enantiomers (la,2,7,7a-tetrahydro-3-methoxynaphth-(2,3b)-oxirane Sandoz Pharma) used as an intermediate in the enantioselective synthesis of optically active drugs. The SMB has been used to carry out this chiral separation [27, 34, 35]. The separation can be performed using microcrystalline cellulose triacetate as stationary phase with an average particle diameter greater than 45 )tm. The eluent used was pure methanol. A... 

For suspensions primarily stabilized by a polymeric material, it is important to carefully consider the optimal pH value of the product since certain polymer properties, especially the rheological behavior, can strongly depend on the pH of the system. For example, the viscosity of hydrophilic colloids, such as xanthan gums and colloidal microcrystalline cellulose, is known to be somewhat pH- dependent. Most disperse systems are stable over a pH range of 4-10 but may flocculate under extreme pH conditions. Therefore, each dispersion should be examined for pH stability over an adequate storage period. Any...
