Vatty Acids andFattyAcidLsters. Sulfolane exhibits selective solvency for fatty acids and fatty acid esters which depends on the molecular weight and degree of fatty acid unsaturation (40—42). AppHcations for this process are enriching the unsaturation level in animal and vegetable fatty oHs to provide products with better properties for use in paint, synthetic resins, food products, plastics, and soaps. 

Use of pigmented coatings (e.g. oil and emulsion paints, synthetic resin-based plaster) They leave dry surfaces of pigmented films, the permeability of which to water and water vapour will depend upon the amount of synthetic resin present They clog the pores... 

You discovered in this section that adipic acid is used to make nylon, but it is also used to make paint, synthetic lubricants, and plasticizers (substances that make plastics more flexible). Adipic acid is one of the important industrial chemicals conventionally produced from benzene, but recently a new process has been developed that forms adipic acid from the sugar glucose, which is much safer, instead of benzene. If you were a worker in a chemical plant making adipic acid, you would certainly prefer working with sugar instead of benzene.

Plastics are semi-synthetic or synthetic materials which can be manipulated to form films, fibres, foams or three-dimensional olgects. Natural polymers from plants, insects and animals are not discussed in this book. Synthetic paints, synthetic textiles and photographic film contain plastics but will not be discussed in this book because their conservation is the focus of specialist publications (Chiantore and Rava, 2005 Learner, 2005 Timar-Balazsy and Eastop, 1998 Lavedrine et al., 2003). Plastics are based on polymers, also known as macromolecules, which are large molecules made by joining together many smaller ones. The chemical and physical properties of liquid polymers are modified with additives and shaped to convert them into solids with dimensionally stable forms.

Natural resins are complex mixtures of different substances with fairly large molecules. Nowadays many synthetic resins are used in paints. Synthetic resins have many properties that their natural predecessors did not, but they also consist of mixtures of different molecules, all of which are large.

In a number of cases, identifications have been extremely difficult, because the materials were synthetic and knowledge of their existence had actually been lost. For example, several rather commonly encountered synthetic pigments, such as the lead-tin yellow often found in Renaissance and Baroque paintings, were originally misidentified or left unidentifiable until extensive research, including analyses of elemental composition and chemical and physical properties, and repHcation experiments, led to proper identification of the material and its manufacturing process. 

The medium is the binder which provides for the adhesion of pigments. The most important types are the temper media (glue, egg, and gum), the oils, and wax. In addition, for wall painting there is the tme fresco technique, where the pigments are laid down in a fresh, wet plaster preparation layer. Several other media have been used, but much less frequendy, eg, casein temper. In modem paints, a number of synthetic resins are used for this purpose. Contemporary artist paints are often based on acryhc polymers (see Acrylic ester polymers Paints). 

A varnish is often appHed on top of the paint layers. A varnish serves two purposes as a protective coating and also for an optical effect that enriches the colors of the painting. A traditional varnish consists of a natural plant resin dissolved or fused in a Hquid for appHcation to the surface (see Resins, natural). There are two types of varnish resins hard ones, the most important of which is copal, and soft ones, notably dammar and mastic. The hard resins are fossil, and to convert these to a fluid state, they are fused in oil at high temperature. The soft resins dissolve in organic solvents, eg, turpentine. The natural resin varnishes discolor over time and also become less soluble, making removal in case of failure more difficult (see Paint and FINNISH removers). Thus the use of more stable synthetic resins, such as certain methacrylates and cycHc ketone resins, has become quite common, especially in conservation practice. 

Wax lining, however, often causes a darkening of the painting, and the adhesive, if it penetrates through the paint layers, is almost impossible to remove. Consequently, much effort has been placed on the development of synthetic adhesives which can be used at lower temperatures and pressures, and use of these materials is commonly accepted as an alternative to wax lining (see Adhesives). 

Searching a crime scene is a complex process (25), involving poHce, crime scene technicians, and forensic scientists. The procedure requires careful documentation, collection, and preservation of the evidence. Trace evidence (26) in criminal investigations typically consists of hairs (27,28) both natural and synthetic fibers (qv) (29,30), fabrics glass (qv) (31,32) plastics (33) sod plant material budding material such as cement (qv), paint (qv), stucco, wood (qv), etc (34), flammable fluid residues (35,36), eg, in arson investigations explosive residues, eg, from bombings (37,38) (see Explosives and propellents), and so on. 

Typical chemical stmctures and representative sources of different classes of synthetics are given in Table 6. Properties and uses of representative synthetics foUow in Table 7. In addition to considering thek physical properties, selection is needed of appropriate paints, seals, hoses, plastics, and electrical insulation to avoid problems with the pronounced solvency and plasticizing action of many of these synthetic oils.

Use. Titanium dioxide is mainly used in the production of paints and lacquers (55—60%), plastics (15—20%), and paper ( 15%). Other apphcations include the pigmentation of printing inks, mbber, textiles (qv), leather, synthetic fibers, ceramics, white cement, and cosmetics.
