The toxicity of lead-containing greases has led to alternative products being used for the protection of components where the product is likely to come in contact with rubber. Of those products considered silicone-based greases have been found to be particularly suitable and their application to hydraulic equipment components such as brake cylinders, where they can provide internal protection against corrosion both during transit and use, has been found particularly beneficial. 

There is currently great commercial interest in plastic alternatives to conventional silicon-based components in electronic devices. Polymeric architectures offer flexible, low-cost, processable materials for this lucrative global market, and can be designed with more emphasis on device performance. The principal goals of improved band filling, dimensionality and new conductance mechanisms remain the same, and provide a subtly different challenge to the materials chemist. 

In Chapter 5.4, optical ultraviolet radiation sensors are described, including UV-enhanced silicon-based pn diodes, detectors made from other wide band gap materials in crystalline or polycrystalline form, the latter being a new, less costly alternative. Other domestic applications are personal UV exposure dosimetry, surveillance of sun beds, flame scanning in gas and oil burners, fire alarm monitors and water sterilization equipment surveillance. 

A photodetector with a suitable spectral response for the detection of the fluorescence emission. As mentioned above, the fluorescence of most Cr3+-activated materials consists of either the red R-lines or a broadband infrared emission with the peak wavelengths ranging from -750 to 1000 nm, or both emissions. Thus, the widely available, compact and inexpensive silicon PIN photodiodes are the most suitable photodetectors for these applications. In some particular circumstances, where high speed and high sensitivity of detection are required, a silicon-based avalanche diode could be the best alternative to the PIN photodiode, at small price premium ... 

New Materials Technology. The unique chemical compatibility of Si02 with silicon and aluminum has been a significant factor in the dominance of silicon-based semiconductor technology for MOSFETs in particular and integrated circuits in general. Two enhancements of conventional bipolar or MOS processes have been studied silicon on insulator (SOI) and SiGe. An alternative material of importance is SiC. 

In particular, if a latex is to be used for coatings, adhesives, or film applications, no silicone-base stopcock greases should be used on emulsion polymerization equipment. Although hydrocarbon greases are not completely satisfactory either, there are very few alternatives. Teflon tapes, sleeves, and stoppers may be useful, although expensive. 

The cell is on the verge of commercialization, offering a potential alternative for the currently used silicon-based photovoltaic devices.12 An unprecedented conversion efficiency of 11% could be manufactured from relatively cheap materials.19 The most up-to-date efficient DSSCs are based on ruthenium complexes. Several representative ruthenium sensitizers possess high extinction coefficient and high photovoltaic performance are shown in Scheme 1.15-19... 

The simultaneous protection of the 3 and S hydroxy groups of nucleosides and the 4,6- or 3,4-hydroxyls of hexopyranoses is a common problem in organic synthesis. In the case of hexopyranoses, we have already seen that benzylidene acetals and, in certain circumstances, isopropyiidene acetals can be used to good effect. An alternative silicon-based group would offer a wider repertoire of conditions for mild deprotection and such a group was devised by Markiewicz the 1,1,3,3-tetraisopropyldisiloxanylidene group (abbreviated TIPDS),22 229 TIPDS groups are stable to water, 0.3 M p-toluenesulfonic acid in dioxane, 10% tri-fluo mace tic acid in chloroform, 5 M ammonium hydroxide in dioxane-H20 (4 1), and tertiary amines in pyridine,...
