Specific applications

For many applications, adhesives are formulated and tailored around specific products and environments. Among these are the ground communication and control equipment for the military that must withstand a wide spectrum of harsh terrestrial climates in addition to high levels of shock and vibration. Spacecraft electronics will be subjected to high vacuum, low temperatures, and particle bombardment from both radioactive and physical particles. Other specific applications include memory modules, automotive, flat-panel displays, optoelectronics, MEMS, and EMI shielding. 

Adhesives are also tailored to meet specific requirements of the packaging or assembly technology used (Table 5.9). Thus,the requirements for single-chip packaging in hermetically sealed ceramic packages such as CERDIPs will be somewhat different from those of plastic dual-in-line packages (PDIPs) and plastic-encapsulated microcircuits (PEMs). 

The use and application of fluorinated surfactants have been reviewed in several articles [2-7] and in trade literature [ 1,8,9]. This chapter is a more comprehensive review of various fluorinated surfactant applications, listed in alphabetical order. 

Fluorinated surfactants are used in solvent-based adhesives (e.g., Zonyl FSN-100 and FSO-lOO) or in water-based adhesives (e.g., Zonyl FSA, FSP, and FSN). Fluorinated surfactants added to water-based adhesives facilitate wetting and penetration of the substrates being joined [1]. By improving leveling and spreading, fluorinated surfactants assure a complete contact between the joining surfaces and retard foaming. 

Ruorinated surfactants should be evaluated at 0.(X)1%, 0.01%, and 0.1% solids on weight of the formulated adhesive, as the effectiveness of fluorinated surfactants can vary significantly over this range. Anionic fluorinated surfactants (e.g., Zonyl FSA and FSP) should be evaluated in soft water. If hard water is used, a chelating agent should be added to reduce water hardness. 

Foamable hot-melt adhesives containing polyamides and fluorinated or silicone surfactants are useful on coarse surfaces [10]. 

Fluorinated surfactants added to rubber (SKF 26) allows adhesiveless bonding to steel [11]. 

Representative Viruses and Associated Diseases that Have Been Detected with PCR  

Future opportunities include rapid detection and identification of bacterial causes of sepsis and meningitis, with the ability in the latter to differentiate viral and fungal etiologies. Universal primers have been described that are conserved in all eubacteria tested and a similar situation exists for fungi and enteroviruses (B3, R6, W8). A coamplification test that combines primers for the three types of agents could prove medically useful in selecting therapy if the result can be obtained in 2 hours.

At present time, metal-ceramic technology is quite expensive and its superior performance pays only in specific applications. 

For NDT of new construction this implies that, the more one knows about the material properties and operational conditions, the better the acceptance criteria for weld defects can be based on the required weld integrity and fine-tuned to a specific application. In pipeline industry, this is already going to happen.

After approaches to the solution of the major tasks in chemoinformatics have thus been outlined, these methods are put to work in specific applications. Some of these apphcations, such as structure elucidation on the basis of spectral information, reaction prediction, computer-assisted synthesis design or drug design, are presented in Chapter 10. 

Over and beyond the representations of chemical structures presented so far, there are others for specific applications. Some of the representations discussed in this section, e.g., fragment coding or hash coding, can also be seen as structure descriptors, but this is a more philosophical question. Structure descriptors are introduced in Chapter 8. 

Other methods have been proposed for detecting chiral carbon atoms which do not rely on the CIP system, and which have been more convenient for some specific applications [108]. 

Most of the qualitative relationships between color and structure of methine dyes based on the resonance theory were established independently during the 1940 s by Brooker and coworkers (16, 72-74) and by Kiprianov (75-78), and specific application to thiazolo dyes appeared later with the studies of Knott (79) and Rout (80-84). In this approach, the absorptions of dyes belonging to amidinium ionic system are conveyed by a group of contributing structures resulting from the different ways of localization of the 2n rr electrons on the 2n l atoms of the chromophoric cationic chain, rather than by a single formula ... 

The tightrope situation that arises from balancing high mobility, low crystallinity, and optimum crosslinking is often dealt with by using copolymers rather than homopolymers. With chain composition as an additional variable, molecules can be tailored better for specific application situations. 

The combination of durability and clarity and the ability to tailor molecules relatively easily to specific applications have made acryflc esters prime candidates for numerous and diverse applications. At normal temperatures the polyacrylates are soft polymers and therefore tend to find use in applications that require flexibility or extensibility. However, the ease of copolymerizing the softer acrylates with the harder methacrylates, styrene, acrylonitrile, and vinyl acetate, allows the manufacture of products that range from soft mbbers to hard nonfilm-forming polymers. 

Another design, shown ia Figure 5, functions similarly but all components are iaside the furnace. An internal fan moves air (or a protective atmosphere) down past the heating elements located between the sidewalls and baffle, under the hearth, up past the work and back iato the fan suction. Depending on the specific application, the flow direction may be reversed if a propeUer-type fan is used. This design eliminates floorspace requirements and eliminates added heat losses of the external system but requires careful design to prevent radiant heat transfer to the work. 

For specific applications, other minor impurities may be requited to be controlled to limiting maxima by agreement between the purchaser and the seller. Includes elements for which no specific limit is shown. 

Polypropylene polymers are typically modified with ethylene to obtain desirable properties for specific applications. Specifically, ethylene—propylene mbbers are introduced as a discrete phase in heterophasic copolymers to improve toughness and low temperature impact resistance (see Elastomers, ETHYLENE-PROPYLENE rubber). This is done by sequential polymerisation of homopolymer polypropylene and ethylene—propylene mbber in a multistage reactor process or by the extmsion compounding of ethylene—propylene mbber with a homopolymer. Addition of high density polyethylene, by polymerisation or compounding, is sometimes used to reduce stress whitening. In all cases, a superior balance of properties is obtained when the sise of the discrete mbber phase is approximately one micrometer. Examples of these polymers and their properties are shown in Table 2. Mineral fillers, such as talc or calcium carbonate, can be added to polypropylene to increase stiffness and high temperature properties, as shown in Table 3.

These temperature limits are based on material tests and do not necessarily reflect evidence of successful use as piping-component linings at these temperatures. The designer should contact the manufacturer for specific applications, particularly as temperature limits are approached.

Table 12-31 lists three specific applications with a brief description of the furnaces as to design and operating conditions. 

Material balances, often an energy balance, and occasionally a momentum balance are needed to describe an adsorption process. These are written in various forms depending on the specific application and desire for simplicity or rigor. Reasonably general material balances for various processes are given below. An energy balance is developed for a fixea bed for gas-phase application and simphfied for liquid-phase application. Momentum balances for pressure drop in packed beds are given in Sec. 6. 

Many other blade designs have been developed for specific applications. The double-naben blade (Fig. 18-41 is a good blade for mixes which ride, that is, form a lump which bridges across the sigma blade. 

Staging Membranes are rarely staged. Except for gas separations, it is unusual for the product to pass through more than one membrane. If the membrane does not make the reqiiired separation in one pass, other means of separation will normally be employed. Exceptions are noted for specific applications. 

Economics It is ironic that a great virtue of membranes, their versatility, makes economic optimization of a membrane process veiy difficult. Designs can be tailored to veiy specific applications, but each design requires a sophisticated computer program to optimize its costs. Spillman [in Noble and Stern (eds)., op. cit., pp. 589-667] provides an overall review and numerous specific examples including circa 1989 economics. 

Arrester Testing and Standards Regulatory and approval agencies and insurers impose acceptance testing requirements, sometimes as part of certification standards. The user may also request testing to demonstrate specific performance needs, just as the manufacturer can help develop standards. These interrelationships have resulted in several new and updated performance test procedures. Listing of an arrester by a testing laboratoiy refers only to performance under a defined set of test conditions. The flame arrester user should develop specific application requirements based on the service involved and the safety and risk criteria adopted. 

Special Arrester Types and Alternatives Several types of unlisted arresters (water seals, packed beds, velocity-type devices, and fast-acting valves) mentioned in API 2028 are described more fully in Howard (1982). There are few design or test data for hydraulic and packed-bed arresters some types are designed and used by indiviciual companies for specific applications, while others are commercially available. Figure 26-27 shows some special arrester types. 

Fluidized-Bed Combustion The principles of gas-solid fluidization and their application to the chemical process industry are treated in Sec tion 17.
