Particle hydrate

All that can be concluded from the data given in the preceding example is that the particle is not an unsolvated sphere. However, when an appropriate display of contours is examined for f/fo (e.g.. Ref. 2), the latter is found to be consistent with an unsolvated particle of axial ratio about 4 1 or with a spherical particle hydrated to the extent of about 0.48 g water (g polymer). Of course, there are a number of combinations of these variables which are also possible, and some additional experimental data—such as the intrinsic viscosity—are needed to select that combination which is consistent with all experimental observations.

The process is believed to proceed via the migration of water into the pores of the lime particles. Hydration then occurs, associated with both expansion (see section 32.23) and the liberation of heat. This causes the particles to split, exposing fresh surfaces into which more water can migrate. The raw hydrate so produced consists largely of fluffy agglomerates of very fine crystals. 

As a converse of the above, the addition of an excessive volume of relatively cold water to a low reactivity quicklime can result in drowning of the lime. Under such conditions, the surface of the quicklime particles hydrate, but the particles do not disintegrate effectively and relatively little primary nucleation occurs. Indeed, some of the quicklime may fail to slake fully, resulting in unsoundness and grit.

From the initial pH to 5.9, the most remarkable event taking place is a progressive decrease in the casein particle hydration, which reaches a minimum at pH 5.9. At this pH value, about 15% of the water contained by the colloidal particles has been released in the aqueous phase and this causes a reduction in the mean particle size as observed by diffusing wave spectroscopy experiments Since the 96750 g/mol PEG carmot or can hardly diffuse through casein particles, the reduction in the casein particle size can be viewed as a decrease in the volume occupied by obstructing elements. More space was thus accessible to this large polymer, and its diffusion coefficient consequently increased (Figure 4). 

The solution process of solid solute in a liquid solvent can be thought of in terms of the solvent molecules attracting the solute particles away from the solute crystal lattice. The solute is picked apart and solute particles hydrated as a result of attractions between water molecules and solute particles. Heat is generally absorbed or released when a solute dissolves in a solvent. When heat is released, the solution process is called exothermic, and the solution temperature increases. When heat is absorbed, the solution process is endothermic, and the solution cools as solute dissolves. 

Polymeric materials that adsorb water may show modified adhesion characteristics with the adsorption of water. The study by Sun [24] suggests that adsorption of water beyond 1 monolayer reduces adhesion between microcrystalline cellulose particles. Hydration of such polymers, of course, also alters the mechanical properties of a material. 

In this example the use of a Redox initiator to start the polymerisation at a low temperature is illustrated. Previous examples have described isothermal polymerisations, but this reaction pattern is commonly used in industry as it reduces the need for cooling. On a large reactor, the heat required to raise the temperature would be provided by polymerisation. The technique has been termed shotgun polymerisation . The small particle size and an increase in particle hydration due to the acid groups limit the non-volatile content to 35%. Formulation 2-6 is a laboratory scale formulation.
