The iaterpretation of the spectroscopy of SBSL is much less clear. At this writing, SBSL has been observed primarily ia aqueous fluids, and the spectra obtained are surprisiagly featureless. Some very interesting effects are observed when the gas contents of the bubble are changed (39,42). Furthermore, the spectra show practically no evidence of OH emissions, and when He and Ar bubbles are considered, continue to iacrease ia iatensity even iato the deep ultraviolet. These spectra are reminiscent of blackbody emission with temperatures considerably ia excess of 5000 K and lend some support to the concept of an imploding shock wave (41). Several other alternative explanations for SBSL have been presented, and there exists considerable theoretical activity ia this particular aspect of SBSL. 

Applications of neural networks are becoming more diverse in chemistry [31-40]. Some typical applications include predicting chemical reactivity, acid strength in oxides, protein structure determination, quantitative structure property relationship (QSPR), fluid property relationships, classification of molecular spectra, group contribution, spectroscopy analysis, etc. The results reported in these areas are very encouraging and are demonstrative of the wide spectrum of applications and interest in this area. 

A number of analytical techniques such as FTIR spectroscopy,65-66 13C NMR,67,68 solid-state 13 C NMR,69 GPC or size exclusion chromatography (SEC),67-72 HPLC,73 mass spectrometric analysis,74 differential scanning calorimetry (DSC),67 75 76 and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA)77 78 have been utilized to characterize resole syntheses and crosslinking reactions. Packed-column supercritical fluid chromatography with a negative-ion atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometric detector has also been used to separate and characterize resoles resins.79 This section provides some examples of how these techniques are used in practical applications.

Interfaces for Supercritical Fluid Chromatography/FTIR Spectroscopy... 

NMR spectroscopy is one of the most widely used analytical tools for the study of molecular structure and dynamics. Spin relaxation and diffusion have been used to characterize protein dynamics [1, 2], polymer systems[3, 4], porous media [5-8], and heterogeneous fluids such as crude oils [9-12]. There has been a growing body of work to extend NMR to other areas of applications, such as material science [13] and the petroleum industry [11, 14—16]. NMR and MRI have been used extensively for research in food science and in production quality control [17-20]. For example, NMR is used to determine moisture content and solid fat fraction [20]. Multi-component analysis techniques, such as chemometrics as used by Brown et al. [21], are often employed to distinguish the components, e.g., oil and water.
