The physical concept of a single electrode potential has been also discussed in terms of the energy levels of ions in electrode systems. This concept may be usefirl in the cases where the system has no electronic energy levels in a range of practical interest, such as in ionic solid crystalline and electronically nonconductive membrane electrodes.

The crystallization process of flexible long-chain molecules is rarely if ever complete. The transition from the entangled liquid-like state where individual chains adopt the random coil conformation, to the crystalline or ordered state, is mainly driven by kinetic rather than thermodynamic factors. During the course of this transition the molecules are unable to fully disentangle, and in the final state liquid-like regions coexist with well-ordered crystalline ones. The fact that solid- (crystalline) and liquid-like (amorphous) regions coexist at temperatures below equilibrium is a violation of Gibb s phase rule. Consequently, a metastable polycrystalline, partially ordered system is the one that actually develops. Semicrystalline polymers are crystalline systems well removed from equilibrium. 

FIG. 23 A schematic illustration of the molecular motions and associated T2 relaxation curve behavior for the three major domains in foods—liquid, viscous liquid, and solid (crystalline and glassy). Typical H T2 NMR relaxation time values observed in these domains, and values specific for water in liquid and crystalline domains, are listed. 

Pigments are therefore processed largely as solid, crystalline, and therefore physiologically inert materials. 

When supersaturated fresh gallbladder bile (or model bile) is centrifuged to remove solid crystalline and amorphous precipitates, and supernatant vesicles, and the resultant isotropic (one phase) solution maintained in a dust-free environment at 37 °C and examined daily by light microscopy, cholesterol crystals can be observed to precipitate. The time taken for these solid cholesterol... 

TD-NMR is performed on NMR spectrometers that are equipped with lower magnetic field strength magnets with relatively low field homogeneity. Thns, relatively short FlDs on the order of a few milliseconds are obtained and FT of this signal yields broad lines from which no chemical detail can be obtained. However, the data is rich in information regarding the relative amonnts of different phases that are present in a sample, snch as water and oil, liqnid and solid, crystalline and amorphous. The data can be approached in two ways - analysis of the FID or analysis of relaxation times and their relative distributions. 

A relatively recent field in polymer science and technology is that of the polymeric liquid crystals. Low molecular liquid crystals have been known for a long time already they were discovered almost simultaneously by Reinitzer (1888) and Lehmann (1889). These molecules melt in steps, the so-called mescrphases (phases between the solid crystalline and the isotropic liquid states). All these molecules possess rigid molecular segments, the "mesogenic" groups, which is the reason that these molecules may show spontaneous orientation. Thus the melt shows a pronounced anisotropy and one or more thermodynamic phase transitions of the first order. 

Jf, at such high temperatures, a phase transition between solid (crystalline) and fluid (amorphous) states is observed, then the melting curve is given by... 

Melting Point - The temperature at which the solid crystalline and liquid phases of a substance are in thermodynamic equilibrium. The melting point is usually referenced to normal pressure of 1 atm. 

Chlorids.—A few of the chlorids are liquid, SnCh, SbCh the remainder are solid, crystalline and more or less volatile. The metallic chlorids are soluble in water, except AgCl, HgjCh, which are insoluble, and PbCL, which is sparingly soluble. The chlorids of the non-metals are decomposed by HjO. 

It is well known that colloidal suspensions can share many features with simple molecular systems such as gas, liquid, and solid crystalline and amorphous glass phases. This is particularly true when the colloid is nearly monodisperse for then the interparticle interactions, which are usually size dependent, are nearly all the same and hence the phase boundaries, which depend on the interactions, are distinct. Indeed, as the size distribution of a colloid narrows, one could claim that the colloidal suspension transforms into a solution, just as the different particles, by becoming alike or even identical, are transforming to molecules. Unlike simple molecular systems, which by their definition have no variety and are not dissolved in a medium, particle colloids and solutions can vary the interactions via changing size, surface groups, solvent, etc., and thereby change the phase diagram. 

Van Krevelen and Hoftyzer [21] have proposed empirical relations for the specific heat behavior of both solid (crystalline) and liquid (amorphous) polymers. These relations are ... 

The term Liquid Crystals , first used by O. Lehmann in 1890, designates a state of matter that is intermediate between the solid crystalline and the ordinary (isotropic) liquid phases. Liquid crystals flow like ordinary liquids, e.g. they adopt the shape of their container. On the other hand, they exhibit anisotropic properties as do solid crystals. One can therefore define liquid crystals as condensed fluid phases with spontaneous anisotropy . Liquid crystals are also called mesophases or mesomorphic phases because of their intermediate nature. 

For the reader s benefit the book is developed along several lines for ease of reference. The same studies may thus be discussed from different points of view such as type of equipment, polymer used, basic parameters, and the polymer state. Presentation by polymer state we feel is a fundamental, i.e., a molecular approach to mechanochemistry. To be sure, there is not always a clear distinction among solid (crystalline and glassy), rubbery (viscoelastic), and molten (elastoviscous) states. Polymer solutions may, for example, be generally considered within the range of molten state behavior except for effects at extreme dilution. 

Mixed Soap Crystals in Super-Fatted Formulations A small quantity of fatty acid, usually less than 10%, is added to normal soap to produce a super fatted soap. The fatty acid is added to the soap phase at temperatures above the fatty acid melting point and new solid crystalline and liquid crystalline phases are formed on cooling. 

Liquid crystals are wonderful materials. In addition to the solid crystalline and liquid phases, liquid crystals exhibit intermediate phases where they flow like liquids, yet possess some physical properties characteristic of crystals. Materials that exhibit such unusual phases are often called mesogerrs (i.e., they are mesogenic), and the various phases in which they could exist are termed mesophases. The well-known and widely studied ones are thermotropics, polymeries, and lyotrop-ics. As a function of temperatirre, or depending on the corrstituerrts, concentration, substituents, and so on, these liqirid crystals exist in many so-called mesophases— nematic, cholesteric, smectic, and ferroelectric. To understand the physical and optical properties of these materials, we will begin by looking into their constituent molecules. ...
