Alkyl poly-magnesium halides are much less stable than their aryl counterparts.. Solutions of alkvlpolyinagiiesiuin halides decompose slowly at room temperature with the formation of magnesium meliil powder. The decomposition, considerably accelerated by heating, is very rapid at 370 K. 

Synthesis and Characterization of Poly(Magnesium Acrylate) and Poly(Zirconyl Acrylate)... 

Other thickeners used include derivatives of ceUulose such as methylceUulose, hydroxypropylmethylceUulose, and ceUulose gum natural gums such as tragacanth and xanthan (see Cellulose ethers Gums) the carboxyvinyl polymers and the poly(vinyl alcohol)s. The magnesium aluminum siHcates, glycol stearates, and fatty alcohols in shampoos also can affect viscosity. 

Ghdants are needed to faciUtate the flow of granulation from the hopper. Lubricants ensure the release of the compressed mass from the punch surfaces and the release/ejection of the tablet from the die. Combinations of siUcas, com starch, talc (qv), magnesium stearate, and high molecular weight poly(ethylene glycols) are used. Most lubricants are hydrophobic and may slow down disintegration and dmg dissolution. 

Pyrotechnic mixtures may also contain additional components that are added to modify the bum rate, enhance the pyrotechnic effect, or serve as a binder to maintain the homogeneity of the blended mixture and provide mechanical strength when the composition is pressed or consoHdated into a tube or other container. These additional components may also function as oxidizers or fuels in the composition, and it can be anticipated that the heat output, bum rate, and ignition sensitivity may all be affected by the addition of another component to a pyrotechnic composition. An example of an additional component is the use of a catalyst, such as iron oxide, to enhance the decomposition rate of ammonium perchlorate. Diatomaceous earth or coarse sawdust may be used to slow up the bum rate of a composition, or magnesium carbonate (an acid neutralizer) may be added to help stabilize mixtures that contain an acid-sensitive component such as potassium chlorate. Binders include such materials as dextrin (partially hydrolyzed starch), various gums, and assorted polymers such as poly(vinyl alcohol), epoxies, and polyesters. Polybutadiene mbber binders are widely used as fuels and binders in the soHd propellant industry. The production of colored flames is enhanced by the presence of chlorine atoms in the pyrotechnic flame, so chlorine donors such as poly(vinyl chloride) or chlorinated mbber are often added to color-producing compositions, where they also serve as fuels. 

Salts of neodecanoic acid have been used in the preparation of supported catalysts, such as silver neodecanoate for the preparation of ethylene oxide catalysts (119), and the nickel soap in the preparation of a hydrogenation catalyst (120). Metal neodecanoates, such as magnesium, lead, calcium, and zinc, are used to improve the adherence of plasticized poly(vinyl butyral) sheet to safety glass in car windshields (121). Platinum complexes using neodecanoic acid have been studied for antitumor activity (122). Neodecanoic acid and its esters are used in cosmetics as emoUients, emulsifiers, and solubilizers (77,123,124). Zinc or copper salts of neoacids are used as preservatives for wood (125). 

Calcium carbonate is controlled with poly(maleic acid) (26) and organic phosphonates. Dispersants designed to control silica and magnesium silicate (7,27,28) have been introduced. 

Seawater Distillation. The principal thermal processes used to recover drinking water from seawater include multistage flash distillation, multi-effect distillation, and vapor compression distillation. In these processes, seawater is heated, and the relatively pure distillate is collected. Scale deposits, usually calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, or calcium sulfate, lessen efficiency of these units. Dispersants such as poly(maleic acid) (39,40) inhibit scale formation, or at least modify it to form an easily removed powder, thus maintaining cleaner, more efficient heat-transfer surfaces. 

Resistance to weathering. Zinc oxide and magnesium oxide stabilize poly-chloroprene against dehydrochlorination. Further, zinc oxide helps vulcanize the rubber, and magnesium oxide reacts with /-butyl phenolic resin to produce a resinate which improves heat resistance of solvent-borne polychloroprene adhesives. 

The strength of ion binding is enhanced when the arrangements of the functional groups permit chelate formation (Begala Strauss, 1972). Thus, magnesium is more firmly bound to poly(vinyl methyl ether-maleic acid) than to either poly(acrylic acid) or poly(ethylene maleic add). 

Recently, Wilson Combe (1991) have studied the reactivity of magnesium, zinc, calcium and strontium boroaluminate glasses towards poly(acrylic acid) solutions. The controlling factor would seem to be the alumina content of these glasses which serves to moderate the setting rate of the cements.

Polydrill is a sulfonated polymer for filtration control in water-based drilling fluids [1775]. Tests demonstrated the product s thermal stability up to 200° C and its outstanding electrolyte tolerance. Polydrill can be used in NaCl-saturated drilling fluids as well as in muds containing 75,000 ppm of calcium or 100,000 ppm of magnesium. A combination of starch with Poly drill was used successfully in drilling several wells. The deepest hole was drilled with 11 to 22 kg/m of pregelatinized starch and 2.5 to 5.5 kg/m of Polydrill to a depth of 4800 m. Field experience with the calcium-tolerant starch/Polydrill system useful up to 145° C has been discussed in detail [1774].
