The data indicate that the properties of the lower glass transition temperature metal ion modified polyimides are altered more than the properties of the higher glass transition temperature metal ion modified polyimides. Extraction removes both cobalt and chlorine from the films and slightly increases bulk thermal stability and both surface resistivity and bulk electrical resistivity. Details pertaining to the structure, analysis and properties of these novel gradient composites are discussed.

Common to nearly all analyses is preservation with refrigeration at 2-6°C, a practice, which minimizes the volatilization of organic compounds with low boiling points and the bacterial degradation of most organic compounds. That is why we must place samples on ice immediately after they have been collected, ship them in insulated coolers with ice, and keep them refrigerated until the time of analysis. Water samples collected for metal analysis and preserved with nitric acid are an exception to this rule as they may be stored at room temperature. The addition of methanol or sodium bisulfate solution to soil collected for VOC analysis is the only chemical preservation techniques ever applied to soil samples. 

A temperature blank placed with the samples inside the cooler is the best tool for determining the true temperature of the samples upon arrival to the laboratory. For samples that do not require refrigeration (Tedlar bags with air, water samples for metal analysis), coolers are still the best shipping containers because they are light and durable. 

Samples are stored in laboratory refrigerators or walk-in coolers that are kept at 2-6°C. Water samples collected for metal analysis are stored at room temperature at some laboratories and in cold storage at others, reflecting the conflicting CLP and... 

Microwave-assisted digestion procedures are used for total metal analysis in aqueous samples (EPA Method 3015) and for solid or oily samples (EPA Method 3051). These procedures allow for a rapid sample digestion with nitric acid under high pressure and temperature conditions the addition of hydrochloric acid is optional. Samples... 

Unfiltered and unpreserved groundwater water samples collected for total and dissolved metal analyses arrived to the laboratory in a cooler with ice three days after collection. On the fourth day after collection the laboratory filtered the samples for dissolved metal analysis and preserved all samples with nitric acid. The violation of the preservation requirements (no acid ice instead of ambient storage temperature) had a marginal effect on the concentrations of total metals as the addition of acid dissolved most of the metals that may have precipitated in the sample container. That is why the chemist accepts the total metal results, but qualifies them as estimated data. However, because improper preservation and storage have grossly compromised dissolved metal concentrations, the chemist rejects the dissolved metal results and requests that the water be resampled and reanalyzed. 

Thermocouples are the most commonly used temperature measuring device in elevated temperature thermal analysis. Thermocouples are made up of two dissimilar metals. If the welded junctions between the two materials are at different temperatures, a current through the loop is generated. This phenomenon can be explained by visualizing electrons in a solid as analogous to a gas in a tube (Figure 2.3). 

Electrothermal atomic absorption analysis has developed significantly, complementary to flame atomic absorption, and present apparatus is easier to use and has greater performance than that available even three years ago. Reliable temperature-controlled heating of the furnace and furnace autosampling accessories will certainly assist.the technique quickly to assume a similar degree of instrumental maturity and enable electrothermal methods to attain their deserved place in modem trace and ultra-trace metal analysis.

When the oxygen blow is completed (generally after 15 to 17 min.), the temperature is measured (typically about 1,600 to 1650 °C) and a sample of the hot metal is taken for analysis of the impurities. If these are on target, the furnace is tapped if not, it is re-blown. When the required temperature and metal analysis are achieved, the furnace is discharged into a ladle and the slag is rejected.
