The original applications of NIR were in the food and agricultural industries where the routine determination of the moisture content of foodstuffs, the protein content of grain and the fat content of edible oils and meats at the 1% level and above are typical examples. The range of industries now using the technique is much wider and includes pharmaceutical, polymer, adhesives and textile companies. The first in particular are employing NIR spectrometry for the quality control of raw materials and intermediates and to check on actives and excipients in formulated products. Figure 9.26(b) demonstrates that even subtle differences between the NIR spectra of enantiomers can be detected.

The polymerization of alkyl vinyl ethers is of some commercial importance. The homopolymers, which can be obtained only by cationic polymerization, are useful as plasticizers of other polymers, adhesives, and coatings. (The copolymerization of vinyl ethers with acrylates, vinyl acetate, maleic anhydride, and other monomers is achieved by radical polymerization but not the homopolymerizations of alkyl vinyl ethers.)... 

Therefore, relieving internal stresses that are present in polymer adhesives and coatings should result in an increase in the strength of metal/polymer adhesion systems150. ... 

Surface and interfacial energy are important because of their controlling influence on such practical applications as spinning, polymer adhesion, and stability of dispersions and wetting of solids by liquids. 

Chemical synthesis methods are not only used for the synthesis of chemical compounds, but also for materials. Examples are silicones, polymers, adhesives and ceramic powders [1]. But if one compares the potential of chemical synthesis with the number of materials produced by these routes, one has to say that the potential of chemiced synthesis is only used to an extremely small extent. The focus of chemical research still is mainly directed to "new chemistry", generating new compounds. So far, sol-gel chemistry as an interesting route for material synthesis never has come to a real breakthrough in application and even is rarely used in silicon chemistry, although a large methodical overlap exists [2,3].

Joint Role of Interfadal Forces and Viscoelastic Effects in Polymer Adhesion and Wear... 

Wear in a strict sense occurs whenever material is lost from a solid. The mechanism of loss can be abrasion, adhesion, erosion, cavitation, corrosion or fatigue. This loss can occur at the atomic level. At this level analytical tools such as the field ion microscope and the atom probe can be used to study wear loss of polymers. These tools have been used in the authors laboratory for many years to study polymer adhesion and transfer to metal surfaces ...
