Simple screening effect

Aromatic oxanilides may also dissipate absorbed energy by proton transfer, but this is less clear with these materials. There may also be a contribution from a simple screening effect because these additives have very high extinction coefficients in the region of 280-340 nm... 

A. Simple screening effect by the cation of the added salt, this effect giving a typical spreading of curves in the suppression of the electroviscous effect according to the valency of the cation. With increasing salt concentration sooner or later, depending on the nature of the cation and the nature of the colloid, this effect emerges into B. 

NADH can be readily monitored electrochemically, and can be used as a simple and effective method to monitor metal ion concentrations. Such an approach has been recently utilised by Rodriguez et al. [149] for an SPCE-based biosensor for the amperometric detection of Hg2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, Zn+ and Pb2+. Devices used in this study were printed onto 250 pm thick polyester sheet. The working electrode (planar area 0.16 cm2) was fabricated from a commercially available carbon powder containing 5% rhodium plus promoters, which was made into a screen-printable paste by mixing 1 4 in 2.5% (w/v) hydroxyethyl cellulose in water. The reference electrode ink contained 15% silver chloride in silver paste. The counter electrode and basal tracks were fabricated... 

The 1,2-dithiolium salts are electron-deficient compounds, and as such are very reactive and unselective towards nucleophilic reagents. Qualitative considerations based on the simple resonance theory, as well as refined quantum mechanical approximations (Section II, C, 1), indicate that the resonance hybrid is most closely described by the carbonium and sulfonium structures (1 and 60), whereas the decet (61) and long-bond (62) structures appear to be of little importance. As would be expected for a charge distribution indicated in 1, protons attached in positions 3 and 5 experience a relatively weak electron screening effect (Section II, C, 4).79c... 

Another characteristic type of viscosity behavior of polyelectrolytes is the effect of added simple salts on the viscosity [16]. The polyelectrolytes used were poly(styrene-co-4-vinylpyridine) (90/10) quatemized with /(-butyl-bromide, and the solvent was nitromethane. The added salt was tetra-butyl-ammonium bromide, which was easily dissolved in nitromethane. A small amount of added salt (10 M) produces a maximum in the viscosity curve (psp/c vs. c), and as more simple salts are added the reduced viscosity further reduces. When the added salt concentration is 0.1 N, the reduced viscosity is about the same as that of the parent polymer. This phenomenon is explained in terms of the screening effect by simple salts of electrostatic interactions among fixed ions [1,2]. 

If, however, the frequencies of mechanical excitons and the dielectric tensor are assumed to be known, this screening effect of for the case of excitons can be obtained in a rather simple way. The expression (2.45), by taking into account the polarization of the medium depending on the remaining excited states of the molecule, can be put into the form... 

This point of view was too narrow. In fact, until 1970, experimentalists felt no necessity to study the structure function of polymer solutions and the screening effects which it reveals. As a consequence, the physicists have been deprived of the facts that could have induced them to conceive and recognize the existence of the semi-dilute state. On the other hand, a strong interest was shown in osmotic pressure, but always in the framework of the simple-tree approximation. As a consequence, great pains were taken to let the osmotic pressure in the semi-dilute range appear to be proportional to the square of the concentration. The dangers of such a preconceived idea are now well-known.
