Many of the sohd inorganic and organic compounds that are used in the laboratory were purified by fractional crystallization. Generally the method works best if the compound to be purified has a steep solubility curve, that is, if it is considerably more soluble at high temperatures than at low temperatures. Otherwise, much of it will remain dissolved as the solution is cooled. Fractional crystalhzation also works well if the amount of impurity in the solution is relatively small. 

PTC reactions, especially under microwave irradiation, have been discussed at length recently [14b] and are not included in this chapter. Reactions between neat reactants, with and without soHd inorganic supports and with microwave assistance are described herein with the salient advantages of the processes as they relate to environment, energy consumption, and recycHng of materials. 

Water is a powerful solvent, capable of dissolving many sohd inorganic or organic compounds, liquids (if they are polar and contain a hydroxide group (OH )), and gases. Any water has a variable content of ... 

The most common polymer family to be attached to sohd inorganic materials is aliphatic polyesters, such as poly(E-caprolactone) (PCL). PCL is a thermoplastic, bioresorbable (via hydrolysis), and semicrystalline polymer that is synthesized by the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of s-caprolactone monomer (Khan et al., 2010). As depicted in Fig. 3.2(e), this in situ polymerization scheme can be catalyzed by tin(II)2-ethylhexanoate(Sn(Oct)2) or boron trifluoride dimethyletherate(BF30(CH3)2)... 

Inorganic Materials. Sol—gel chemistry involves first the formation of a sol, which is a suspension of soHd particles in a Hquid, then of a gel, which is a diphasic material with a soHd encapsulating a solvent. A detailed description of the fundamental chemistry is available in the Hterature (2—4). The chemistry involving the most commonly used precursors, the alkoxides (M(OR) ), can be described in terms of two classes of reactions ... 

Photovoltaic Devices. For many inorganic semiconductors, absorption of light can be used to create free electrons and holes. In an organic semiconducting soHd, however, absorption of a photon leads to the formation of a bound electron—hole pair. Separation of this pair in an electric field can... 

Eor most industrial inorganic sohds such as minerals etc, the increase in with Ap is not too great, and thus should the material to be filtered be too fine for vacuum filtration, pressure filtration may be advantageous and give better rates. 

A fourth mechanism is called sweep flocculation. It is used primarily in very low soflds systems such as raw water clarification. Addition of an inorganic salt produces a metal hydroxide precipitate which entrains fine particles of other suspended soflds as it settles. A variation of this mechanism is sometimes employed for suspensions that do not respond to polymeric flocculants. A soHd material such as clay is deUberately added to the suspension and then flocculated with a high molecular weight polymer. The original suspended matter is entrained in the clay floes formed by the bridging mechanism and is removed with the clay. 

The successfiil synthesis of a transparent soHd polymer electrolyte (SPE) based on PEO and alkoxysilanes has been reported (41). The material possessed good mechanical properties and high electrical conductivity (around 1.8 x 10 S/cm at 25°C) dependent on the organic—inorganic ratio and PEO chain length. 

Sodium lauryl sulfate is available in solution, paste, and soHd forms. As a solution its activity ranges between 28—30%, and as a paste it is 55% active. With this detergent in a shampoo, inorganic salts can affect viscosity. In addition, the limited solubiHty of sodium lauryl sulfate requires its judicious use in low cloud point clear shampoo systems. 

The wide range of soHd lubricants can generally be classified as either inorganic compounds or organic polymers, both commonly used in a bonded coating on a matching substrate, plus chemical conversion coatings and metal films. Since solid-film lubricants often suffer from poor wear resistance and inabihty to self-heal any breaks in the film, search continues for improved compositions. 

Elemental composition, ionic charge, and oxidation state are the dominant considerations in inorganic nomenclature. Coimectivity, ie, which atoms are linked by bonds to which other atoms, has not generally been considered to be important, and indeed, in some types of compounds, such as cluster compounds, it caimot be appHed unambiguously. However, when it is necessary to indicate coimectivity, itaUcized symbols for the connected atoms are used, as in trioxodinitrate(A/,A/), O2N—NO . The nomenclature that has been presented appHes to isolated molecules (or ions). Eor substances in the soHd state, which may have more than one crystal stmcture, with individual connectivities, two devices are used. The name of a mineral that exemplifies a particular crystal stmcture, eg, mtile or perovskite, may be appended. Alternatively, the crystal stmcture symmetry, eg, rhombic or triclinic, may be cited, or the stmcture may be stated in a phrase, eg, face-centered cubic. 

The most widely used pitch control method is the addition of pitch dispersants, which can be either organic, ie, typically anionic polymers such as naphthalene sulfonates, ligninsulfonates, and polyacrylates (33,34), or inorganic, ie, typically clay or talc. The polymers maintain the pitch as a fine dispersion in the pulp, preventing agglomeration and potential deposition on the paper machine or the sheet. When talc, clay, or other adsorbent fillers are added to the furnish, moderate amounts of pitch can adsorb on these materials, producing a nontacky soHd that can be retained in the sheet.
