Beside a crystal cavity of suitable size, additional information is required, e.g. designed polarity gradients in the cavity or carefully located and specific binding sites, respectively. At best, the crystal inclusion will enjoy an ideal lock and key relation 23 between host and guest components from a chemical and spatial point of view.

The oxygen concentration gradient and polarity gradient seem to be related. It is likely that the oxygen concentration gradient is created by the existence of the polarity gradient. More work is needed to establish the relationship. 

Variation of lateral mobility (fluidity) and polarity gradient have been reasonably established in certain calcium alkarylsulfonate micelles using 1-pyrene carboxylic acid probes with varying alkyl chain lengths. The existence of a polarity gradient in an inverted micelle may be responsible for the creation of an oxygen concentration gradient. 

A schematic illustration of how the relaxation process (Ti or Tlp) for H spins in a blend of polymers A and proceeds with spin diffusion (SD) is shown in Fig. 14. Here, we assume that (1) the 3H spins are divided into two species species A for polymer A and species for polymer B, and (2) both A and are characterized by their common relaxation times TA and , respectively. Suppose TA is much shorter than TB, and the whole spins are inverted by pulse. If spin diffusion between component polymers is slow, the spin system may reach a situation where all of the XH spins of polymer A are fully relaxed or up , while those of polymer are still down (Fig. 14 (1)). Spin diffusion tries to average this polarization gradient created by different T values, that is, to flip down the half of the XH spins in polymer (Fig. 14 (2)). The down spins of polymer A quickly flip up to create a polarization gradient again due to the short T of polymer A (Fig. 14 (3)), and again spin diffusion tries to average it, and so on. After all, both spin species eventually reach thermal equilibrium. When spin diffusion is much... 

Figure 4.1 also shows the formation of concentration polarization gradients on both sides of the membrane. However, in most membrane processes there is a bulk flow of liquid or gas through the membrane, and the permeate-side composition... 

Figure 4.1 shows the concentration gradients that form on either side of a dialysis membrane. However, dialysis differs from most membrane processes in that the volume flow across the membrane is usually small. In processes such as reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, and gas separation, the volume flow through the membrane from the feed to the permeate side is significant. As a result the permeate concentration is typically determined by the ratio of the fluxes of the components that permeate the membrane. In these processes concentration polarization gradients form only on the feed side of the membrane, as shown in Figure 4.3. This simplifies the description of the phenomenon. The few membrane processes in which a fluid is used to sweep the permeate side of the membrane,...

To get a linear polarity gradient with the systems shown in Figure 9.2 would require a concave gradient. Choosing a gradient is often done by trial and error using an initial rate of 2% per minute. A variety of references are available for further details.42-44...

A new step has been implemented with the development of automatic developing chambers and polarity gradients. With these techniques, development of a plate over 5-7 cm may be sufficient to separate up to 50 compounds and identify them. Universal gradient systems based on methanol, dichloromethane, and hexane, for instance (see Camag Bibliography Service for more information), have been developed as starting points for method development.
