Possible Practical Applications

Anyway, it is clear that the fmdings obtained in these artificial transport systems do contribute to the understanding of biological phenomena and point the way to possible practical applications, such as the separation of ions. Accordingly, the development of synthetic ionophores which possess high selectivity for specific cations is expected to gain importance in the future. 

Graphite acid salts have been considered in terms of possible practical applications. Their potential as useful electrodes in high-energy-density batteries has been reviewed (AS), as well as their potential usefulness as chemical reagents (B14). 

Several approaches to obtaining Fe(III) spin crossover materials in a form suitable for incorporation in devices for possible practical application have been reported. 

Polymeric ion-radicals are usually formed as a result of one-electron redox modifications of uncharged polymers containing electrochemically active groups. They attract an enhanced attention in the sense of possible practical applications. Because polymeric ion-radicals contain many spin-bearing groups, a similarity emerges between polymeric ion-radicals and poly(ion-radicals). 

The subject of alloy electroplating is being dealt with by an ever-increasing number of scientific publications (close to 200 in the last five years in the Journal of the Electrochemical Society alone ). The reason for this seems to be the vastness of the number of possible alloy combinations and the concomitant possible practical applications. 

The above-listed examples show that many different immobilization procedures have been applied in fabrication of solid-state devices for ECL based sensing. Due to possible practical application one can expect, however, that this particular aspect of ECL will be object of further intensive studies and obtained results will allow construction of a still-better solid-state ECL detector. Especially promising seems to be the application of transition metal chelates other than mostly used Ru(bipy)32 + that may lead to distinct improvement of this analytical tool. 

The search of new ECL systems with high efficiencies and different emission colors seems to be crucial for all possible practical applications. It is, however, a difficult task because of the many factors affecting electrochemical excitation. The... 

The photochemistry of LC polymers is not only interesting for fundamental reasons (vide supra) but because they can perhaps be formed into useful materials— films, fibers, rods, etc., with specifically tailored mechanical and/or optical properties. Their photochemical reactions may be used to modify these properties in an easily controlled, switchable manner. There is already a considerable body of knowledge on the possible practical applications of a few photochemical reactions of LC polymers. Such possible applications are discussed elsewhere [1-6] and are only briefly touched upon in this chapter. Furthermore, this chapter does not include an extensive compilation of information about the many types of LC polymers, the many methods used to synthesize and process these materials, their detailed properties, and the theoretical basis of their formation and properties. The reader is referred elsewhere [7,8] to capable reviews of these topics. However, a brief introductory review of the main types of LC polymers and their properties that are especially relevant to their photochemistry is given in Section II. 

Some of the possible practical applications of rare earth metals in corrosion inhibition in industrial situations are summarized in Table 12.1c. 

A computational procedure for the modeling of chromatographic separation of racemic Co(acac)3 into enantiomers on a dinitrobis(arginine)cobalt(III) complex as a chiral selector was described. Predicted elution order calculated from the differences in total energy of interaction for A and A selectands were found to be in agreement with the experimental results. The predictive power of the method and its possible practical applications in designing efficient chiral stationary phases was demonstrated . ...

In Vol. I, pp. 41R-419 nitropolysiyrene was described and its possible practical application is mainly in low power mining explosives and in pyrotechnic mixtures. According to 3], molecular weiglit is over ca. 38000. 

In addition to all these possible practical applications, digital signature schemes are important building blocks for many theoretical protocols in the field of distributed computing.
