Repelling zone

A non-adsorbing polymer in solution can also destabilise a dispersion through a mechanism called depletion flocculation. When polymer molecules do not interact favourably with the particle surfaces from an enthal-pic perspective, they are repelled from the surface regions due to entropic reasons. A depletion zone around the particles is created which has a lower average polymer concentration than the bulk solution. The osmotic... 

When a positive ion enters the filter, maintained under vacuum, at the origin O, its velocity vector in xyz space will determine its trajectory. The central portion of the quadrupole behaves like a tunnel in the O-z axis. The walls of the tunnel can either attract or repel an ion depending on the ion s position. The two positively charged electrodes will focus the ion in the O-z axis, corresponding to a potential valley (stability zone) while the two negatively charged electrodes will have a defocusing effect (potential maximum, unstable y-O-z plane). 

The major conclusions from the above-described studies are consistent in the asymmetric mode of operation the reaction zones of the exothermic and endothermic reactions inherently repel each other, leading either to an extreme maximum temperature or to poor performance. A noncontinuous heat supply and production during every other semicycle cause obviously strong fluctuations of operation. Moreover, reasonable states of operation are attainable only with an excess of gas during the exothermic semicycle. This contradicts the condition of equal heat capacities for optimal heat recovery (see Section 1.2.1.1). For example, the heat loss in the case displayed in Fig. 1.9 is equal to the heat demand of the endothermic reaction. Different strategies have been assessed with regard to their potential to reduce hotspots during the exothermic semicycle and to improve thermal efficiency. 

Fig. 9. Schematic diagram of the free jet flow reactor used by Mark Smith and co-workers for very low temperature reaction kinetic measurements [58]. The jet originates from a pulsed beam valve 1, and ions are produced by REMPI using a focussed pulsed laser. The reaction zone is bounded by a repeller plate 2 and an endplate 3 ions are propelled, by a pulsed voltage on the repeller, towards a sampling aperture in the endplate which leads to a TOF-MS 4...

A second type of error is an overall shift in the results, whereby the measured average from the samples collected is higher or lower than the anticipated blend composition, possibly without introducing any additional variability in the results. This type of error is often referred to as bias. Bias can result if one component adheres to, or is repelled by, the thief, or due to preferential flow of one component into the thief. Bias can also result if samples are not collected from appropriate locations for example, if no samples are collected from a dead zone in the blender that is holding the missing material. However, a true shift in potency may also be occurring, if raw components were dispensed incorrectly or if preferential material losses have occurred. Therefore, great care must be taken with biased data, and its true cause must be determined.

In order to compensate the charge, soluble cations have to migrate to the zone of oxygen reduction. On the other hand, negative ions such as chloride ions are repelled from the delamination zone. This has been confirmed by spatially resolved XPS measurements which reveal the distribution of chloride and... 

The amount of T. emitted from conifers (see conifer-and pine needle oils) in the hotter climatic zones has been estimated as ca. 1000000000 t/year. Only small amounts of T. are found in animals, e.g., as phero-mones or repellents. Numerous halogenated T. are formed by marine organisms (see marine natural products). 

In this research, cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), as an arrtimicrobial ent is applied on polyester, polypropylene and viscose non-woven fabrics alone and in combination with a Fluorochemical (FC 1112). The antimicrobial, water and blood repellency of the treated samples were investigated. To reveal the antimicrobial properties of the treated samples, the zone of inhibition and reduction of bacteria were measured with S. aureus, E. coli and P. aeroginosa. The results showed a good antimicrobial property on different concentration of CTAB solutions (1%, 2%, 4% and 8%). Application of CTAB with concentration of (0.5%, 1% and 2%) on polyester, polypropylene and viscose nonwoven fabrics indicated a reasonable antimicrobial effect Co-application of CTAB with fluorochemical on different samples also showed a good antimicrobial, water and blood repellency properties. 

No doubt, the energy expression might contain such a self-interaction, but this is certainly not all that should be included in the electron-electron interaction. Two electrons repel each other electrostaticalfy and therefore around each of them there has to exist a kind of no-parking zone for the other one ( Coulomb hole . 

Infrared synchrotron micro-spectroscopy is also an appropriate method for identifying and visualizing the existence of localized water at buried interfaces, particularly between multilayers of polymers. It was recently shown that water inclusions can be imaged at the buried interface of solid-contact-ion-selective electrodes (SC-ISEs) [22]. In this study a poly(methyl metha-crylate)-poly(decyl methacyrlate) [PMMA-PDMA] copolymer was used. Since the PMMA-PDMA copolymer is known to be water repellent and unsuitable for water sorption at measurable levels in the bulk membrane, the detection (or non-detection) of water by reflectance SR-FTIR is symbolic of the presence (or absence) of localized zones of water at the buried interface of a solid-contact ISE employing PMMA-PDMA as the sensing membrane. In fact, SR-FTIR revealed the presence of micrometer-sized inclusions of water at the gold-to-membrane interface, whereas coupling a hydrophobic solid contact of poly(3-octylthiophene 2,5-diyl) (POT) prevented the accumulation of water at the buried interface (Fig. 2) [22].
