In 1916 Langmuir6 considered adsorption as due to the actual condensation of the molecules arriving at the surface from the gas, followed by re-evaporation after a longer or shorter time. Gas molecules reaching the surface may either rebound elastically, with an infinitesimal time of contact, or condense for a finite time. There is evidence, which will be considered later, that many of the molecules do actually condense for a sufficient time to lose the characteristics of motion which they possessed beforo reaching the surface and obviously no adsorption could occur if the molecules did not condense at all. 

If we take a gas that consists of identical point particles that exert no mutual forces and rebound elastically at the walls of the container, then the potential energy t/ = 0 (except at the walls where C/ = oo) and we can calculate Z directly. The integration over the position coordinates for each molecule simply gives the value K, the volume of the vessel, and since there are N particles, we obtain V. The rest of the integral is... 

Natural rubber, synthetic cw-1,4-poly(isoprene), butadiene rubbers, and styrene-butadiene rubbers are all sensitive to oxidation because of their high carbon-carbon double bond fractions. Attempts to reduce sensitivity to oxidation with maintenance of the vulcanizability have lead to the development of what are known as the butyl rubbers, IIR, which are copolymers of isobutylene with a little isoprene. But butyl rubbers only have a small rebound elasticity. However, since they also have poor gas permeability, they are mostly used for tire inner tubes. 

All diene rubbers discussed so far, natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubbers, poly-butadienes), butyl rubbers, and ethylene-propylene rubbers, consist of aliphatic or aromatic monomeric units. They swell readily in aliphatics they have poor oil resistance. But the free radical copolymerization of acrylonitrile with butadiene leads to what is known as nitrile rubber, which has good oil resistance because of the many polar nitrile groups. However, the rebound elasticity and the low-temperature flexibility decrease with increasing nitrile fraction. Consequently, NBR is mainly used for fuel hoses, motor gaskets, transport belts, etc.

In many cases, such as in most of the nanochaimels found in biological systems, the channel diameter is so small that the continuum model would be clearly inappropriate. There are even nanochannels that are too small to permit the passage of even a single molecule of water. In such cases, one is forced to recognize the underlying molecular structure of matter and perform what is called a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. It is important to recognize, just like the continuum approximation, the MD approach is also an approximation to reality but at a different level. In the MD approach, one ignores the fact that the water molecule, for example, contains protons, neutrons, and electrons which interact with the protons, neutrons, and electrons of every other water molecule via quantum mechanical laws. Such a description would be enormously complicated Instead, each molecule is treated as a discrete indivisible object and the interaction between them is described by empirically supplied pair interaction potentials. For example, the simplest MD model is the hard sphere model where each molecule is modeled by a sphere, and the molecules do not interact except when they touch in which case they rebound elastically like billiard balls. 

The interactions of constructs of condensed matter are governed by the interaction of forces and other vector properties that are applied through each construct. A lever, for example, functions as the medium to transmit a force applied in one direction so that it operates in the opposite direction at another location. Material properties and strengths are also an intimate part of the interaction of condensed matter. A lever that cannot withstand the force applied to it laterally will bend or break rather than function as a lever. Similarly, two equally hard objects, such as a train car s wheels and the steel tracks upon which they roll, rebound elastically with little... 

The rate constant k is determined in part by the number of collisions at Phi = P 2= 1 This number can be calculated by use of the kinetic theory of gases and certain assumptions about the sizes of the molecules. Only a small fraction of the collisions, however, are effective. If the molecules collide with small relative velocity, the van der Waals force of repulsion causes them to rebound elastically from one another.

To illustrate the quantum effect let us consider a simple example of oscillation where a particle is free to move in one direction only, back and forth between the walls of a box. For example, we could picture an idealized bead moving on a frictionless horizontal wire and rebounding elastically when it strikes the walls (see Fig. 1.10). Within the walls of the box the potential energy is constant and, because of the lack of friction or external energy, the kinetic energy mv ) must also be constant. This means that the square of the momentum (p ) of the particle will also be constant because... 

We can see from the Table 2, that plasto-elastic characteristics of serial and experimental rubbers have close values, serial rubbers have conventional modulus at 300% twice higher as experimental ones and have higher conventional tensile strength and hardness. The value of rebound elasticity, crazing strength and dynamic repeated tension durability of experimental and serial mbbers are very similar. It should be noted, that serial rubbers have heat resistance and ozone resistance doubles that serial mbbers, containing antioxidants. 

We can see from the Table 3, that plasticity and Mooney viscosity of experimental and serial rubber mixtures have close values. The values of conventional modulus at 300%, conventional tensile strength, tear resistance, hardness, rebound elasticity and dynamic durability of experimental rubbers are higher than serial ones. It should be noted, that experimental rubber has lower by half conventional permanent tension elongation in comparison with serial rubber, although the values of conventional tensile elongation are the similar tar value and creep under 160°C are lower (in two times and more, than in two times respectively).
