This group investigated patients presenting with acute schizophrenic symptoms who underwent a drug-free washout period, received lithium only initially, and then antipsychotics later (374). Lithium was ineffective for classic schizophrenia, but some patients who met criteria for schizophreniform disorder did respond to lithium. Whether schizophreniform illness is a variant of mood disorders (a reasonable hypothesis in view of their lithium response) or a separate entity that is lithium-sensitive is still unclear. It is known that these patients have family histories that include mood-disordered as well as schizophrenic relatives. In a small pilot study, physostigmine (a drug with possible antimanic but no antipsychotic properties) benefited schizophreniform patients who responded to lithium, but had no effect in those who did not (Carver DL, personal communication).

The potential volume involved and our assessment of the property benefit of Celcon in the application were sufficient to justify a lab program whose objective was to develop a polymer or modify the extrusion process so that Celcon would extrude at comparable or faster speeds than the material being used. After some nine months of effort an extrusion die was designed that permitted extrusion speeds of 450 feet per minute while making tubing with the tolerance specifications established by the customer. The foregoing is an example of a type of process development work described in the preceding paper. 

Where complex properties occur in living systems, as for example in chaotic cardiac arrhythmias, they are characteristic of pathological failure of the normal controls— in this case in some kinds of heart disease—not of health. Even at the level of an individual enzyme, the enzyme peroxidase from horseradishes, an example of chaotic behavior has been known for many years, but we have no idea how its properties benefit the horseradish, and they contribute nothing to our present understanding of how metabolic systems are controlled in general. The sort of positive feedback loops that account for the complex behavior of economic systems, political relations, and indeed some aspects of biology such as the extravagant overdevelopment of the peacock s tail, are conspicuously absent from the major pathways in the metabolic economy. There is no reason, therefore, to see any contradiction in the claim that classical economic theory works much better in metabolism than it does in the domain in which it was developed. 

Resin systems have developed into extremely complex multi-ingredient formulations in an effort to ensure the maximum property benefit from the fiber. Normally there are four methods of impregnation (1) solution dip (2) solution spray (3) direct hot-melt coat and (4) film calendaring.

Each of the biopolymers listed in Table 6.4 has unique properties, benefits and weaknesses. 

While mPE materials are much like other PE grades, they can be produced with a very wide range of properties. One of the key property benefits is the ability to synthesize very soft, flexible grades. These provide some interesting opportunities for final film products, but a feed material that deforms easily and melts quickly requires some process modifications. 

Polyamide-imides, due to their high relative cost compared to common engineering plastics such as nylon and polycarbonate, are used when the application conditions require the property benefits of these materials and where lesser polymeric materials would fail. In addition to this, they... 

Titanates are usually referred to as coupling agents. However, when one looks at the property benefits claimed, such as improved dispersion, better flow, and higher gloss, it becomes clear that these additives are, in fact, dispersants and not coupling agents.

This book will assess the structure-property benefits of these nanoparticles in polymers as a function of their degree of exfoliation, alignment, and dispersion. Methods for the preparation of these polymer nanocomposites will be assessed in relation to the attainment of the optimal morphology for nanoparticle structure within the polymer. This book will not attempt to give an exhaustive review of the literature since many recent works have served that purpose quite adequately. Rather, this book will focus on assessing what is truly understood about polymer-clay nanocomposites and which areas require further study.
