Though the solution procedure sounds straightforward, if tedious, practice difficulty is encountered immediately because of the implicit nature of the available flux models. As we saw in Chapter 5 even the si lest of these, the dusty gas model, has solutions which are too cumbersc to be written down for more than three components, while the ternary sol tion itself is already very complicated. It is only for binary mixtures therefore, that the explicit formulation and solution of equations (11. Is practicable. In systems with more than two components, we rely on... 

It should probably also be noted before closing this section that 18-crown-6 and some of its aliphatic relatives have been found to form quite a variety of complexes or solvates with neutral molecules. We have noted the formation of an acetonitrile sol-vate . Although the other complexes are generally beyond the scope of the present work, we wish to call attention to their existence so that the worker attempting to improve purification procedures will check the literature for his particular method. This is especially important since a number of the solvates are found, to our knowledge, only in the patent literature.

It was found that chlorides, chlorates, and nitrates interfere by forming in sol ppts (Ref 6). Later it was found that w sol perchlorates could be analyzed gravimetrically by pptn of the perchlorate ion as tetraphenylarsonium perchlorate (Ksp at 20° = 2.60 0.14 x 10"9). The ppt can be (Tried at 105° and weighed directly (Ref 16). Still more recently a specific perchlorate ion electrode has been developed (Ref 17) which can be used for the potentiometric titration of the perchlorate ion using a soln of tetraphenylarsonium chloride as the titrant (Ref 15). Tetra-phenylphosphonium chloride has been similarly used, but the corresponding Sb compd is too insol in w for practical use (Ref 8), For routine assay of perchlorates for use by the armed forces, a Na carbonate fusion procedure is described in Mil Specs MlL-A-23946 (19 Aug 1964) MIL-A-23948 (19 Aug 1964) (see also under Ammonium Perchlorate). The tetraphenylarsonium chloride procedure has also been proposed for use in Mil Specs (Ref 11)...

Polyhydric Alcohols. (Polyols). An alcohol with three or more hydroxyl groups, each attached to a different carbon atom. They are w-sol and of sweetish taste, which tends to intensify with increasing hydroxyl content. Examples of polyols of ordn interest are listed below. Polyvinyl alcohol is considered in a separate entry as a polymer although it is defined as a polyhydric alcohol. Polyols, when nitrated, make excellent expls, proplnt binders, plasticizers, etc. Prepn can follow the procedure of Lenth DuPuis (Ref 3) which uses a methanol suspension of either sucrose or dextrose and a special Cu-Al oxide catalyst to yield 60-65% distillable polyols at 240° and 1500psi Refs 1) Beil — refs found under individual compds 2) CA, under Alcohols, Polyhydric for compds of current ordn interest 3) C.W.

Recently, Mark and co-workers also reported on organophilic silica formed by the combination of the sol-gel procedure and water-in-oil micro-emulsion method, in which methacryloyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane was used as one component of silica matrix [8]. The size of the silica particle was controlled by the content of water and emulsifier used. The surface of the particles was effectively covered with methacryloyl. organic groups. This organophilic silica is expected to be used as a novel component of composite materials. 

In the sol-gel procedure for the preparation of hybrids, polymeric acid catalysts such as poly (styrene sulfonic acid) were also used instead of hydrogen chloride [14]. The polymeric acid catalyst was effective for the preparation of hybrids at a similar level to that of hydrogen chloride catalyst. In some cases, the increased modulus was observed due to the higher extent of reaction. No difference was observed in morphologies between the hybrids prepared with polymeric and small molecule acid catalysts. The method using polymeric acid catalyst may depress the ion-conductive property, characteristic to the mobile acidic small molecules. Polymeric catalyst may also influence the rheology of the resulting hybrids. 

Poly(arylene ether ketone) and poly(arylene ether sulfone) were also tried to be incorporated into the hybrids with silica gel by means of the sol-gel procedure [19, 20], For example, triethoxysilyl-terminated organic polymer was subjected to co-hydrolysis with tetraethoxysilane. A systematic change in mechanical and physical properties of the hybrid glass has been found with the content of organic polymer and the annealing temperatures. 

The basic reactions of the sol-gel procedure are shown in Eqs. (1-3), in which the species of Si—OH are the key intermediates. These Si—OH groups are known as Bransted acids. On the other hand, the amide carbonyl groups are... 

The most important nanomaterial synthesis methods include nanolithography techniques, template-directed syntheses, vapor-phase methods, vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) methods, solution-liquid-solid (SLS) approaches, sol-gel processes, micelle, vapor deposition, solvothermal methods, and pyrolysis methods [1, 2]. For many of these procedures, the control of size and shape, the flexibility in the materials that can be synthesized, and the potential for scaling up, are the main limitations. In general, the understanding of the growth mechanism of any as-...

The relative abundances of cross-linkages and of various primary species in the sol and in the gel fractions may be obtained by extension of this procedure. Since 4>l equals the fraction of the cross-linkages (or of the cross-linked units) occurring in the sol fraction, we can write...
