The polycondensation of di-isocyanates with polyhydric alcohols gives a wide range of polyurethanes which are used as artificial rubbers and light-weight foams, and have other important properties. Isocyanates are also used as modifiers in alkyd resins. ... 

There are other important properties tliat can be measured from microwave and radiofrequency spectra of complexes. In particular, tire dipole moments and nuclear quadmpole coupling constants of complexes may contain useful infonnation on tire stmcture or potential energy surface. This is most easily seen in tire case of tire dipole moment. The dipole moment of tire complex is a vector, which may have components along all tire principal inertial axes. 

Other important properties that can be measured in the laboratory include sealabiHty, printabiHty, or coating adhesion. Many of these tests have been developed by the film manufacturer in cooperation with customers and are specifically designed to measure product performance in the end use. Some tests, like sealabiHty, can be standardi2ed to time, pressure, and temperature of sealing with instmment-measured peel values, but other tests are subjective, such as evaluations of printing loss to puUoff by adhesive tape. 

Some physical properties of the four most common cyclodexttins are Hsted in Table 1 (3). Other important properties are (/) cyclodexttins are nonreducing (2) glucose is the only product of acid hydrolysis (J) molecular weights are always integral numbers of 162.1, the value for glucose (4) cyclodexttins are nontoxic and (5) they do not appreciably absorb ultraviolet (uv) or visible light. 

In addition to surface area, pore size distribution, and surface chemistry, other important properties of commercial activated carbon products include pore volume, particle size distribution, apparent or bulk density, particle density, abrasion resistance, hardness, and ash content. The range of these and other properties is illustrated in Table 1 together with specific values for selected commercial grades of powdered, granular, and shaped activated carbon products used in Hquid- or gas-phase appHcations (19). 

MiscelDneous. Other important properties are resistance to thermal shock, attack by slag, and, in the case of refractories (qv), thermal expansion. For whiteware, translucency, acceptance of glazes, etc, may be extremely important. These properties depend on the clay mineral composition, the method of manufacture and impurity content. 

Blends or alloys of polyacetals with polyurethane elastomers were first introduced by Hoechst in 1982, who were then followed by other manufacturers. The key features of these materials are their improved toughness with little change in other important properties. There are two aspects with respect to the impact toughness ... 

Since the catalyst is so important to the cracking operation, its activity, selectivity, and other important properties should be measured. A variety of fixed or fluidized bed tests have been used, in which standard feedstocks are cracked over plant catalysts and the results compared with those for standard samples. Activity is expressed as conversion, yield of gasoline, or as relative activity. Selectivity is expressed in terms of carbon producing factor (CPF) and gas producing factor (GPF). These may be related to catalyst addition rates, surface area, and metals contamination from feedstocks. 

Other important properties include Hash point, volatility, viscosity, specific gravity, cloud point, pour point, and smoke point. Most of these properties are related directly to the boiling range of the kerosene and are not independently variable. The flash point, an index of fire hazard, measures the readiness of a fuel to ignite when exposed to a flame. It is usually mandated by law or government regulation to be 120° or 130° F (48° or 72° C), Volatility, as measured... 

Properties Fire safety continues to be a major performance requirement. Creep and heat distortion are other important properties to be considered. A major deterrent for the architect and builder is lack of common knowledge about plastics physical properties. 

Two other important properties of silicon-carbon bonds are that carbonium ions fl and carbanions (or metalloid equivalents) a to silicon are favoured over alternatives, i.e. that situations involving Si—C—C+ and Si—C are thermodynamically relatively good. 

Wafer Flour. Wafer flour is a type of biscuit flour with the same basic specification of low protein soft wheat flour with a low starch damage. Once again the required dough property is extensibility. The only differences are that if the protein is too low the wafer will be too soft to handle, and if the protein is too high the wafer will be too hard. The other important property is a resistance to gluten separation. Wafer flours are likely to be brown. 

Other important properties of T functions, not too difficult to demonstrate, include... 

Catalytic activity and electrochemical performance generally increase as the NiO and YSZ particle sizes are reduced. However, ultrafine powders are prone to agglomeration during the milling and mixing process the distributions of the phases (and hence the percolation threshold and many other important properties) are determined by the agglomeration size, not by the primary particle size. 

In this paper the planarizing properties of some commercially available resins and monomers are evaluated. Other important properties such as etching resistance, film absorbance and glass transition temperature Tg are reported and discussed. Some of the materials that we evaluated are not marketed for use in the microelectronics industry. Consequently, they are not available as filtered spin coating solutions and may contain high levels of metal impurities that adversely affect device performance. 

The functions erf and erfc are depicted in Figure 8A.1. Other important properties of these functions are... 

A method that can decrease the viscosity of the mobile phase without impacting the mobile phase solvent strength (i.e., maintaining k) would therefore decrease the analysis time linearly. The next section illustrates the diffusion coefficients and viscosities, the unique relationship between them for EEL mixtures, their solvent-strength and other important properties. 

Buschmuller et have demonstrated that microwave resonance can be used effectively as means to monitor the moisture levels in a fluidized-bed dryer during the granulation process. The penetration depth of microwave resonance may be limited to a few microns, and hence this technique may not have any real advantages over NIR which has also been used for monitoring moisture in dryers, and has the advantage of providing chemical information such as solvent levels in addition to water, and other important properties such as polymorphic form, and particle size. 

The flash point and other important properties of some common materials are listed in Table B-2 (modified from NFPA 86, Table 7-5.2.2a and NFPA 325, 1994). 

Special modified plasmid DNAs, called vectors or carriers, are used as hosts or targets for gene modification. These circular vectors reproduce autonomously in host cells. Plasmids have two other important properties. First, they can pass from one cell to another allowing a single modified bacterial cell to inject neighboring bacterial cells with this modification. Second, gene material from other cells can be easily formed into plasmids, allowing ready construction of modified carriers. 

For successful separation in affinity chromatography, the important parameter is that solute of interest should be bound firmly and specifically while leaving all other molecules. This requires that the support within the column contain an affinity ligand that is capable of forming a suitably strong complex with the solute of interest [8]. The other important property is that the, support material must be biologically and chemically inert to avoid... 

Abrasion resistance and solder iron resistances are two other important properties required from a wire and cable insulator. These properties are critical for polymers used as sheathing or jacketing for hookup wire. Cross-linking improves both of thern. ...
