Optical properties are related to both the degree of crystallinity and the actual polymer structure. Most polymers do not possess color site units, so are colorless and transparent. But, some phenolic resins and polyacetylenes are colored, translucent, or opaque. Polymers that are transparent to visible light may be colored by the addition of colorants, and some become opaque as a result of the presence of additives such as fillers, stabilizers, moisture, and gases.

In the manufacture of cement-bonded particle board, wood chips are mixed with Portland cement in the ratio 60% cement, 20% wood and 20% water. Curing times are very long - about 7 h at 70-80 °C, followed by a further 2-3 weeks conditioning at ambient temperature. The boards produced have high density (1300 kg m , double normal particle board), but have exceptional dimensional stability, moisture and fire resistance compared to other wood-based boards.

The fluid plasticizer (solvent) consists of an energetic compound, eg, nitroglycerin, an inert carrier, and a stabilizer. The system is evacuated to remove volatiles, moisture, and air, and the plasticizer is then pressurized and passed slowly upward through the powder bed while the powder is held stationary by a pressure plate on the powder column. Casting solvent may also be added from the top of the mold.

Siace the iatroduction of Capture ia 1986, liposomes produced from phosphohpids ate commercially available worldwide (36,37). 

Iodized Salt. Iodized table salt has been used to provide supplemental iodine to the U.S. population since 1924, when producers, in cooperation with the Michigan State Medical Society (24), began a voluntary program of salt iodization in Michigan that ultimately led to the elimination of iodine deficiency in the United States. More than 50% of the table salt sold in the United States is iodized. Potassium iodide in table salt at levels of 0.006% to 0.01% KI is one of two sources of iodine for food-grade salt approved by the U.S. Food and Dmg Administration. The other, cuprous iodide, is not used by U.S. salt producers. Iodine may be added to a food so that the daily intake does not exceed 225 p.g for adults and children over four years of age. Potassium iodide is unstable under conditions of extreme moisture and temperature, particularly in an acid environment. Sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate is added to increase alkalinity, and sodium thiosulfate or dextrose is added to stabilize potassium iodide. Without a stabilizer, potassium iodide is oxidized to iodine and lost by volatilization from the product. Potassium iodate, far more stable than potassium iodide, is widely used in other parts of the world, but is not approved for use in the United States. 

Tile is based mainly on vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate copolymers. Some polypropylene tile systems have recendy been iatroduced. A petroleum resia is usually employed as an extender and processiag aid conventional vinyl plasticizers and stabilizers also are iacorporated. Reinforcing fibers and limestone constitute the remainder of the tile composition the fibers contribute hot strength for processiag and dimensional stabiHty ia the finished tile, limestone suppHes bulk at an economical cost. Stable pigments are also iacorporated. Siace tile is iastalled oa and below grade level, it is important that the finished product be resistant to the effects of moisture and alkaH. 

As a safety glass interleaver, poly(vinyI butyral) (Butacite, Saflex) is extensively used because of its high adhesion to glass, toughness, light stability, clarity and moisture insensitivity.

NbOF3 and TaOF3 are characterized by very low stability, are sensitive to moisture and decompose in air even at ambient temperature. Nevertheless, Kohler et al. [217] succeeded in investigating these compounds. Both compounds crystallize in a SnF4 type structure forming planes that share oxyfluoride octahedrons with each other, at four comers. These planes are stacked in a three-dimensional lattice via van der Waals interactions [217]. 

Phenylene oxide Based (PPO) plastic that is a choice for electrical applications, housings for computers and appliances, both neat and in structural foam form. It has superior dimensional stability, moisture resistance due to styrene components, which, however, cause some sacrifice of weather and chemical resistance. Use includes automobile wheel covers, pool plumbing, consumer electronic external and internal components. 

Effect of heat. When anhydrous, it detonates at about 210°. The material with one H20 deflagrates about 230°, when heated slowly, as compared to 275—290° for Pb Styphnate. Contact with flame or a red-hot wire results in immediate detonation if the material is dry, but when wet it is difficult to detonate or ignite Thermal stability and volatility. No loss in wt was observed when stored for 300 days at 50° for 150 days at 70°, or 50 days at 90° Hygroscopicity. More hygroscopic than Pb Styphnate. When stored at 90% RH for Q days it absorbed 0.24% moisture, and for 20 days, 0.90% moisture... 

Stability Stable. Reacts vigorously with fluorine, fluorine oxides, and chlorine in the presence of moisture. Nitric oxide is non-corrosive and may be used with most common structural materials. However, in the presence of moisture and oxygen, corrosive conditions will develop as a result of the formation of nitric and nitrous acids. 

Primary container-closure system-related data will need to cover storage, transportation, and use. The choice of materials of construction, their description, and the ability of the container-closure system to protect from moisture and/or light will need to be considered. The compatibility of the container-closure and its contents will need to consider sorption, leaching, and safety. The performance of the container-closure system will also need to be considered in terms of dose delivery from any associated device that is to be supplied as part of the product. Container-closure components will require adequate specifications covering description, identification, critical dimensional tolerances, and test methodology (including pharma-copeial and noncompendial methods). More data are likely to be required for liquid or semi-liquid products than for solid dosage forms. In the latter, product stability data and container-closure system specifications may suffice. 

In order to prevent the irrevisible adhesion of MEMS microstructures, several studies have been performed to alter the surface of MEMS, either chemically or physically. Chemical alterations have focused on the use of organosilane self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), which prevent the adsorption of ambient moisture and also reduce the inherent attractive forces between the microstructures. Although SAMs are very effective at reducing irreversible adhesion in MEMs, drawbacks include irreproducibility, excess solvent use, and thermal stability. More recent efforts have shifted towards physical alterations in order to increase the surface roughness of MEMS devices. 

The stability of the pyrotechnic mixture has been studied, including the effect of hydrogen content of the hydride [1]. Presence of moisture and impurities adversely affects stability [2], and remote handling facilities for the mixture have been developed [3],... 

Organotrialkoxysilanes (ArSi(OR)3) were used as organometallic reagents without fluoride additives (Scheme 56).144,144a ArSi(OR)3 was easy to use because of its higher air and moisture stability. Oi and co-workers believed that hydrolysis of the trialkoxysilanes to generate silanetriols was likely occurring prior to transmetallation of the cationic rhodium complex. 

With the development of an analogous ruthenium benzylidene catalyst 17 by Grubbs and co-workers in 1995, a ruthenium carbene catalyst suitable for the cross-metathesis reaction was in place [34]. Benzylidene 17 exhibited the same impressive tolerance of air and moisture, and the same stability towards functional groups as its predecessor 4, but benefited from easier preparation [35,36] and much improved initiation rates.
