Physical aspects

The number of papers in the field of halogenophosphines has risen dramatically this year, and this has necessitated the omission of a significant number of papers from this survey. In general these have reported isolated reactions of a routine nature. There has been almost no new preparative work described this year, and the section has accordingly been divided into sub-sections on physical aspects and on chemical reactions.

Mean-square amplitudes of vibration have been calculated for vinylidene fluoride and tetrafluoroethylene. Twelve of the fifteen fundamental vibrations of 1/f-trifluorocyclopropene have been assigned from its i.r. spectrum, and the microwave spectra of chlorotrifluoroethylene, and 1,1,2- and 3,3,3-trifluoropropene have been described. 

The cis to trans isomerization of l-chloro-2-fluoroethylene has been studied in the range 475—760 K and the following electronic energy differences for cis- and /ra s-isomers in the gas phase reported 

In each case, the c/s-isomer is the more stable. A high-temperature (1050— 1350 K) shock-tube study of the isomerization of cis- and of /ra/is-perfluoro-but-2-ene, when combined with conventional low-temperature values, yields the following rate equation for cis to trans isomerization  

Polarographic studies of the electrochemical reduction of octafluorocycol-hexa-1,3- and -1,4-diene yield a calculated free-energy difference (AGg s) of 4.06 kJ mol , with the 1,4-isomer more stable, in confirmation of the value obtained by thermal isomerization.  

Mass spectrometric studies include that of negative-ion formation by vinylidene fluoride, appearance-potential studies on the olefins C2F4, CFbiCFCI, CFChCFCI, CHjiCFj, and CHgiCFCl, from which a heat of formation for CFCl of 46 + 5 kJ mol was obtained, and on the olefins CFjiCFCl, CFChCFCI, CHaiCFCl, and CHF CFC1, from which the ionization potential of CF Cl was determined as 9.4 eV.  

The removal of side products such as EG, A A, CO2, water and oligomers is controlled by the physics of mass transport in the solid state. This mechanism correlates with particle size, density, crystallinity, crystal structure and perfection, and surface conditions, as well as the desorption of the reaction products from 

However, when different gases are employed, differences in activities can then be seen [14]  

It can be assumed that this is caused by a kind of plasticizing of the polymer by dissolved or finely dispersed gas or by the increased solubility of the reaction products in the gases.

For those readers requiring further information on the factors effecting the kinetic versus diffusion control of the SSP process, this has been reported by several authors (for example, kinetic aspects [4, 8, 20] and diffusion-influenced aspects [5-7, 9, 11-13, 15]). 

A number of theoretical studies of varying degrees of sophistication have appeared on fluoroethylenes, but they have yet to attain the accuracy of precise experimental studies. They include the following ab initio calculations on tetra-fluoroethylene, mono-, di-, - and tri-fluoroethylenes, extended Hiickel MO calculations on fluorinated ethylenes and buta-l,3-dienes, semi-empirical calculations on ionic reactivities of fluoro-olefins,i CNDO- and INDO-type calculations on fluoroethylenes, 1,1-dichlorodifluoro- and chlorotrifluoro-ethylene, hexafluoropropene and octafluoroisobutene, on the polymerization of vinyl fluoride,

A number of 1-substituted 2-chloro-tetrafluorocycIobutenes, -hexafluorocyclo-pentenes, and -octafluorocyclohexenes have been studied by C1 n.q.r. spectroscopy. The absorption frequencies tend to fall with reducing ring-size, and 

Fluoro-oleflns have proved popular substrates for the study of gas-phase reactions of positive ions by ion cyclotron resonance spectroscopy. An interesting study of hexafiuoropropene 4 has shown that the derived positive ions, C2F4+, C3F5+, and C3F6+, do not react with neutral hexafluoropropene, allowing a study of the photochemical dissociation of the presumed perfluoroallyl cation at wavelengths 295 nm  

Other olefins studied include trifluoro- and tetrafluoroethylene, - 1,2-difluoro-ethylene, 1,1-dlfluoroethylene, mixtures of fluoroethylenes, and octafluoro-but-2-ene.40 

Lattice fringes associated with these forbidden reflections have also been seen in high-resolution (HR) TEM studies, as have lattice spacing from other crystallographic faces [111, 116, 119]. In summary, whilst the (111) orientation of silver nanoprisms is generally accepted, the identity of the crystal faces at the edge of the nanoplates has yet to be confirmed. 

In recent years, the silver halide model has been used to explain the growth of silver and gold nanoprisms in a manner analogous to the growth of silver halide

At this stage it should be clear that the growth mechanism for silver nanoprism is not fully understood. However, it is also clear that growth of the nanoplates cannot be adequately explained by the surface binding model, and therefore a defect structure is a more likely model to explain the growth mechanism. In 

In the past, silver has been used frequently to combat infections, and in this respect the anhbacterial properhes of silver, silver ions and other silver compounds have undergone extensive study. In recent years, silver nanoparticles have been shown to be good candidates for use in anhmicrobial technologies, with some recent reports suggeshng that their size, shape and surface chemistry are important factors in determining their efficacy as anhbacterial agents [150-155].

Non-fuel petroleum products cover an extremely wide range and are distinguished as much by their nature and physical aspects as by their types of application. 

This criterion resumes all the a priori knowledge that we are able to convey concerning the physical aspect of the flawed region. Unfortunately, neither the weak membrane model (U2 (f)) nor the Beta law Ui (f)) energies are convex functions. Consequently, we need to implement a global optimization technique to reach the solution. Simulated annealing (SA) cannot be used here because it leads to a prohibitive cost for calculations [9]. We have adopted a continuation method like the GNC [2]. 

There has been a surge of research activity in the physical chemistry of membranes, bilayers, and vesicles. In addition to the fundamental interest in cell membranes and phospholipid bilayers, there is tremendous motivation for the design of supported membrane biosensors for medical and pharmaceutical applications (see the recent review by Sackmann [64]). This subject, in particular its biochemical aspects, is too vast for full development here we will only briefly discuss some of the more physical aspects of these systems. The reader is referred to the general references and some additional reviews [65-69].

Another implementation of homotopy-continuation methods is the use of problem-dependent homotopies that exploit some physical aspect of the problem. Vickeiy and Taylor [AIChE J., 32, 547 (1986)] utilized thermodynamic homotopies for K values and enthalpies to gradually move these properties from ideal to ac tual values so as to solve the MESH equations when veiy nonideal hquid solutions were involved. Taylor, Wayburn, and Vickeiy [I. Chem. E. Symp. Sen No. 104, B305 (1987)] used a pseudo-Murphree efficiency homotopy to move the solution of the MESH equations from a low efficiency, where httle separation occurs, to a higher and more reasonable efficiency. 

Particle-Bubble Attachment. In the above, principles leading to creation of desired hydrophobicity/hydrophihcity of the particles has been discussed. The next step is to create conditions for particle-bubble contact, attachment, and their removal, which is simply described as a combination of three stochastic events with which are associated the probability of particle-bubble colhsion, probabihty of attachment, and probability of retention of attachment. The first term is controlled by the hydrodynamic conditions prevaihng in the flotation unit. The second is determined by the surface forces. The third is dependent on the s irvival of the laden bubble by liq ud t irbulence and impacts by the other suspended particles. A detailed description of the hydrodynamic and other physical aspects of flotation is found in the monograph by Schulze (19 ).

The intrinsic moisture sensitivity of the epoxy resins is traceable directly to the molecular structure. The presence of polar and hydrogen bonding groups, such as hydroxyls, amines, sulfones and tertiary nitrogen provides the chemical basis for moisture sensitivity, while the available free volume and nodular network structure represent its physical aspect.

New questions have arisen in micro-scale flow and heat transfer. The review by Gad-el-Hak (1999) focused on the physical aspect of the breakdown of the Navier-Stokes equations. Mehendale et al. (1999) concluded that since the heat transfer coefficients were based on the inlet and/or outlet fluid temperatures, rather than on the bulk temperatures in almost all studies, comparison of conventional correlations is problematic. Palm (2001) also suggested several possible explanations for the deviations of micro-scale single-phase heat transfer from convectional theory, including surface roughness and entrance effects.

The elements Zr and Hf are generally more similar in their chemistry than any other pair of congeneric elements as having nearly identical atomic or ionic radii, electronegativities, and elemental structures (actually, the similarities of Nb and Ta are nearly as close) however, their metal-rich chemistry is often surprising in its structural and physical aspects with fairly sharp distinctions emerging between the two elements [71].

There are two main varieties of carbon (i) crystalline (e.g., graphite and diamond), and (ii) amorphous. The amorphous variety consists of carbon blacks and charcoals. Carbon blacks are nonporous fine particles of carbon produced by the combustion of gaseous or liquid carbonaceous material (e.g., natural gas, acetylene, oils, resins, tar, etc.) in a limited supply of air. Charcoals are produced by the carbonization of solid carbonaceous material such as coal, wood, nut shells, sugar, synthetic resins, etc. at about 600 °C in the absence of air. The products thus formed have a low porosity, but when activated by air, chlorine, or steam, a highly porous material is produced this porous product is called activated charcoal. Chemically speaking carbon blacks and charcoals are similar, the difference being only in physical aspects. Carbon blacks find use in the rubber industry and in ink manufacture. An important use of charcoals is as adsorbents.
