The bonding environment

Substituting for 7si from Equation 2.17 into Equation 2.4 and re-arranging, the condition for wetting just to occur becomes  

knowing values of 7 and 7s v for a solid surface enables Equation 2.34 to be solved to yield values of 7K and 71V for liquids which would just completely wet and spread spontaneously on the solid. The diagram which may be constructed from such data is termed a wettability envelope. Wettability envelopes for the abraded surfaces in 7 and 56% r.h. environments are shown in Fig. 2.10, together with typical 7 and 7 values for liquid amine-cured 

Absorbed moisture in certain substrates, e.g. fibre composites, may also adversely affect the performance of the adhesive joint, but these aspects are best considered in Section 4.2.5 when surface pretreatments for such materials are reviewed. 

From the above discussions it is obviously important to ensure that the bonding environment is such that adsorbed contamination is kept to a minimum the lower the extent of such contamination, the more readily will it be displaced by the adhesive which may then achieve intimate molecular contact with the solid substrate. If multilayer contamination is not displaced by the adhesive it will act as a weak boundary layer of material at the interface and low joint strengths will result. It is of interest to note that the presence of adsorbed hydrocarbons probably assists this displacement process. This arises because the common adhesives are usually polar in character and thus will have a thermodynamic tendency to displace such non-polar contamination, especially if it is only physisorbed. The adhesives, such as certain epoxies and acrylics (Chapter 5), which are formulated to displace specific types of oils, protective

The two different types of C—H bonds in ethanoi have siightiy different bond energies, because the bonding environment about one C atom differs siightiy from the bonding environment about the other C atom. 

Table 4 Correlation of the number of classical structures with calculated bond lengths for Ceo and Cn. The bond environment column describes the arrangements of the carbon atoms which have the bond in common. The column labelled with a f is the bond order calculated using resonance theory as described in the text.

Mossbauer isomer shift and quadrupole splitting are commonly used to obtain information about the bonding environment around source nuclides. The isomer shift arises from the electric monopole interaction of the nucleus with the electrons and depends on the... 

Most transition-metal cations can adopt several different oxidation states depending on the method of preparation and the compound in which they find themselves, but which oxidation state they adopt in a particular compound is not always clear from the chemical formula or from the nature of the bonding environment. Providing that the oxidation state is not zero, the bond valence model can help because the metal ligand bond can usually be described as an... 

Nmr spectroscopy is useful because not all H s change spin at the same applied magnetic field, for the energy absorbed depends on the bonding environment of the H. The magnetic field experienced by an H is not necessarily that which is applied by the magnet, because the electrons in the bond to the H and the electrons in nearby n bonds induce their own magnetic fields. This induced field, H, partially shields the proton from the applied The field felt by the proton, the effective field, is Ho - H. ... 

Method of Broto, Moreau, and Vandycke The method of Broto et al. [46] is an atom contribution method including one extra contribution for conjugated double bonds. The complete set of atom constants is given in Appendix F to illustrate the relative hydrophobicity of the different types of atom contributions. Atom types are differentiated by their environment depending on whether they are C atoms or heteroatoms. The C-atom environment is limited to the adjacent bonds and to the attached H atoms. For heteroatoms, the environment additionally includes nonhydrogen neighbors. The latter are divided into two classes (1) C atoms, for which the bond environment is considered and (2) heteroatoms, Z, irrespective of...

Since spin-spin coupling through bonds occurs because of the interaction between the magnetic moment of the atomic nucleus and the bonding electrons, the coupling constants reflect the bonding environments of the coupled nuclei. In H NMR...

The small deviation of P as estimated by Equation 7.15 from P (group) is very systematic. It depends mainly on the atoms present and the number of bonds emanating from each atom, with relatively little effect of the details of the bonding environment. This result is not really surprising, since the group contribution table used for Ps is essentially based on an atomic contribution table supplemented by correction terms to adjust for the presence of a few special types of structural features such as multiple bonds and rings. 

Because the X-ray photons may eject electrons from a depth of over 10 atomic layers, mainly the bulk density of states is obtained in this way. The electron density of states for surface atoms should be different from that in the bulk because the bonding environment for surface atoms is different in their number of nearest neighbors, relaxation or reconstruction, and anisotropy of bonding that could give rise to...
