Another aspect of current interest associated with the lipid-water system is the hydration force problem.i -20 When certain lipid bilayers are brought closer than 20-30 A in water or other dipolar solvents, they experience large repulsive forces. This force is called solvation pressure and when the solvent is water, it is called hydration pressure. Experimentally, hydration forces are measured in an osmotic stress (OS) apparatus or surface force apparatus (SFA)2o at different hydration levels. In OS, the water in a multilamellar system is brought to thermodynamic equilibrium with water in a polymer solution of known osmotic pressure. The chemical potential of water in the polymer solution with which the water in the interlamellar water is equilibrated gives the net repulsive pressure between the bilayers. In the SEA, one measures the force between two crossed cylinders of mica coated with lipid bilayers and immersed in solvent. 

Solvation Pressure Between Lipid Membranes Dependence on the Packing Density of Solvent Molecules. 

The solvation equilibrium established by interaction between the solute and the solvent would be reached as soon as the solvation pressure defined in analogy to the swelling pressure, became equal to the osmotic pressure of the solution. The agreement with experimental measurements attained by G. V. Schulz on the basis of this assumption is very remarkable.

There is one important caveat to consider before one starts to interpret activation volumes in temis of changes of structure and solvation during the reaction the pressure dependence of the rate coefficient may also be caused by transport or dynamic effects, as solvent viscosity, diffiision coefficients and relaxation times may also change with pressure [2]. Examples will be given in subsequent sections. 

The analysis of recent measurements of the density dependence of has shown, however, that considering only the variation of solvent structure in the vicinity of the atom pair as a fiinction of density is entirely sufficient to understand tire observed changes in with pressure and also with size of the solvent molecules [38]. Assuming that iodine atoms colliding with a solvent molecule of the first solvation shell under an angle a less than (the value of is solvent dependent and has to be found by simulations) are reflected back onto each other in the solvent cage, is given by... 

We take the position that [77] is known from experiment and assume that M is also known from some other type of experiment, say, o smostic pressure. Assuming that these data are available enables us to evaluate V2, and we consider next what this quantity tells us about the state of solvation of the polymer. 

Complexes. In common with other dialkylamides, highly polar DMAC forms numerous crystalline solvates and complexes. The HCN—DMAC complex has been cited as an advantage ia usiag DMAC as a reaction medium for hydrocyanations. The complexes have vapor pressures lower than predicted and permit lower reaction pressures (19). 

Supercritical Fluid Extraction. Supercritical fluid (SCF) extraction is a process in which elevated pressure and temperature conditions are used to make a substance exceed a critical point. Once above this critical point, the gas (CO2 is commonly used) exhibits unique solvating properties. The advantages of SCF extraction in foods are that there is no solvent residue in the extracted products, the process can be performed at low temperature, oxygen is excluded, and there is minimal protein degradation (49). One area in which SCF extraction of Hpids from meats maybe appHed is in the production of low fat dried meat ingredients for further processed items. Its apphcation in fresh meat is less successful because the fresh meat contains relatively high levels of moisture (50). 

A significant advance in the synthesis of monoorganotin trihaHdes was the preparation of P-substituted ethyl tin trihaHdes in good yield from the reaction of stannous chloride, hydrogen haHdes, and a,P-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, eg, acryHc esters, in common solvents at room temperature and atmospheric pressure (153,154). The reaction is beHeved to proceed through a solvated trichlorostannane intermediate (155) ... 

Another major area of use is in the field of adhesives. The main attractions of the material are the absence of a need for mastication, easy solvation of the polymer, which is supplied in a crumb form, the production of low-viscosity solutions and high joint strength. In conjunction with aromatic resins they are used for contact adhesives whilst with aliphatic resin additives they are used for permanently tacky pressure-sensitive adhesives. In addition to being applied from solution they may be applied as a hot melt.

HOPC uses a column packed with porous materials that have a pore diameter close to a dimension of the solvated polymer to separate. A concentrated solution of the polymer is injected into the solvent-imbibed column by a high-pressure liquid pump until the polymer is detected at the column outlet. The injection is then switched to the pure solvent, and the eluent is fractionated. A schematic of an HOPC system is illustrated in Fig. 23.1. A large volume injection of a concentrated solution makes HOPC different from conventional SEC. 

The partitioning principle is different at high concentrations c > c . Strong repulsions between solvated polymer chains increase the osmotic pressure of the solution to a level much higher when compared to an ideal solution of the same concentration (5). The high osmotic pressure of the solution exterior to the pore drives polymer chains into the pore channels at a higher proportion (4,9). Thus K increases as c increases. For a solution of monodisperse polymer, K approaches unity at sufficiently high concentrations, but never exceeds unity. 

Now, we should ask ourselves about the properties of water in this continuum of behavior mapped with temperature and pressure coordinates. First, let us look at temperature influence. The viscosity of the liquid water and its dielectric constant both drop when the temperature is raised (19). The balance between hydrogen bonding and other interactions changes. The diffusion rates increase with temperature. These dependencies on temperature provide uS with an opportunity to tune the solvation properties of the liquid and change the relative solubilities of dissolved solutes without invoking a chemical composition change on the water. 

Mobile phases with some solvating potential, such as CO2 or ammonia, are necessary in SGC. Even though this technique is performed with ambient outlet pressure, solutes can be separated at lower temperatures than in GC because the average pressure on the column is high enough that solvation occurs. Obviously, solute retention is not constant in the column, and the local values of retention factors increase for all solutes as they near the column outlet.
