Phase-separated systems

The ion pair extraction by flow injection analysis (FIA) has been used to analyze sodium dodecyl sulfate and sodium dodecyl ether (3 EO) sulfate among other anionic surfactants. The solvating agent was methanol and the phase-separating system was designed with a PTFE porous membrane permeable to chloroform but impermeable to the aqueous solution. The method is applicable to concentrations up to 1.25 mM with a detection limit of 15 pM [304].

Photochemical response of these liposomes is different from each other. With progression of trans - cis photoisomerization of azobenzene, ICD at the absorption band of the trans isomer decreases. As shown in Figure 4, depression in ICD is almost proportional to the amount of photoisomerization for the phase separated system. Photoisomerization in the domain of azobenzene aggregate proceeds independently from the rest of DPPC aggregate so that the depression in ICD corresponds to the concentration of remaining transazobenzene. When the two components are molecularly mixed, change of... 

Non-Random Systems. As pointed out by Cahn and Hilliard(10,11), phase separation in the thermodynamically unstable region may lead to a non-random morphology via spinodal decomposition. This model is especially convenient for discussing the development of phase separating systems. In the linearized Cahn-Hilliard approach, the free energy of an inhomogeneous binary mixture is taken as ...

Thus most of the time one obtains phase-separated systems in which the macromolecules of component A are not at all or only to a limited extent miscible with the macromolecules of component B, i.e., polymer A is incompatible or only partially compatible with polymer B. The synonymical terms polymer blend , polymer alloy , or polymer mixture denote miscible (homogeneous) as well as immiscible (heterogeneous) systems consisting of two or more different polymers. 

While applications and analysis of ILs may provide some guidance on potential applications of SCIL-based phases in EC, these phases may also provide useful information about ILs. As Poole points out [16], a key requirement for the successful integration of ILs in industrial processes is the ability of being applied to rapid liquid-liquid phase separation systems. Shake-flask methods are commonly used to measure IL/water partition coefficients. However, the high viscosity and cost of these materials coupled with the time and effort required for traditional shake-flask methods render this... 

A number of interesting effects occur in spatially periodically forced pattern forming systems with a nonconserved order parameter, which have been investigated during recent years [60-73, 120], Here we focus on nearly unexplored effects of spatially periodic forcing in system with a conserved order parameter, as they occur in phase separating systems which are forced by spatial temperature modulations and where thermodiffusion plays a crucial role. 

Such forced phase separating systems can be realized, for instance, in optical grating experiments on polymer blends with a spatially periodic light intensity 7(r,f) = Iocos(qx) [44, 87], Such a spatially periodic light intensity leads, together with (50), to the equation... 

With directional quenching we present an effective mechanism to induce periodic stripe patterns in phase separating systems, where the wavelength of the patterns is uniquely selected by the velocity of a quench interface. If an additional spatially periodic modulation of the quench interface is introduced, cellular patterns can also be generated. 

The first reaction is carried out exothermically at about 120°C (Brown, 2003) and is succeeded by a three-phase separation system and a second reactor whose function is to increase the conversion of reactants. For this part of the process, temperature and pressure conditions do not represent a dangerous situation, even so, the chemical activity makes it necessary to take security measures oriented to minimise the effects of a possible leak. 

Investigation of phase-separated systems using WISE... 

Apart from the investigation of residual couplings described previously, WISE has also been applied for the investigation of phase-separated systems, for instance co-polymers, consisting of a rubbery phase and a more rigid phase [75-77]. While the different phases can be discriminated in the 13C dimension by their chemical composition, the dynamics of each of them can be studied by the corresponding 1H slice. 

Normally, food and chyme are phase-separated systems, but only the first steps have been taken towards understanding the phase behaviour of food polymers in food processing and practically nothing in food digestion. The effects of thermodynamic compatibility of mucopolysaccharides, food fibers and exopolysaccharides of different bacteria species on selection of microflora in the intestine and colon have not been studied yet. The mechanisms of bacterial colonization of the intestine and peristaltic transportation of chyme also remain unstudied. 

A mechanical model that has been successfully applied to phase-separated systems and composites is that of Takayanagi et al. (1963) which relates the overall modulus of the composite to those of the individual phases and their respective volume fractions. If the matrix is stronger than the filler, the overall modulus of the composite is given by ...
