Processing and applications of commercial

Table 19.1 summarizes the processes, characteristics and applications of commercial inorganic fibers. 

Details about the basic chemistry and polymerization methods are inclnded in Chapter 2 fnndamental properties of the resulting prodncts are discnssed in Chapter 3, and processing and applications of thermoplastics in Chapter 4. Becanse flno-roelastomers and aqueous systems have specific and different technologies from other commercial fluoropolymers, they are discussed in Chapters 5 and 6, respectively. 

This book is based predominantly on the patent literature and provides how to data regarding the production, purification, and application of commercial enzymes. Coverage is not limited to food applications, and 70 subjects are grouped as Enzymes, Enzymatic Processing, Enzyme Stabilization, Polymer-Enzyme Products, Cell Culture, Protein Analysis, Nucleic Acids etc.. Amino Acids, Peptide Synthesis, and Applications. Indexing includes U.S. patent number, company and patent assignee, inventor, and subject. 

Chapter 14 provides the basic principles of polymer science, and addresses the importance of this subject. This chapter aims to give a broad and imified description of the subject matter—describing the polymerization reactions, structures, properties, and applications of commercially important polymers, including those used as plastics, fibers, and elastomers. This chapter focuses on synthetic polymers because of the great commercial importance of these materials. The chemical reactions by which polymer molecules are synthesized are addressed along with the process conditions that can be used to carry them out. This chapter also discusses topics on degradation, stability, and environmental issues associated with the use of polymers. 

Technologies for processing and application of rapeseed proteins are manifold described in the literature. However, no single commercial plant has been installed so far. 

Most applications of commercial significance require some elevation of temperatures and pressures. A range of about 125 C (257 F) and 5 atm. to 320 C (608 °F) and 200 atm covers most cases. Frequently, air is the oxygen-containing gas, in which case the process may be termed wet-air oxidation (WAO). In the general case, including the use of pure oxygen, the broader term of wet oxidation (WO) is used. 

The properties and applications of five commercially important groups of silanes those containing Si-H (hydride functional silanes), Si-X (halosilanes), Si-C (organosilanes), Si-OSi (siloxanes), and Si-OR (silicon esters) are thoroughly discussed by Arkles.14 As the role of functional siloxanes grows, so does the importance of the hydrosilylation reactions in this field. A broad introduction to hydrosilylation processes as applied to the synthesis of silicone precursors and to the functionalization of siloxanes is provided in the earlier editions of COMC, and,...
