Functional property terminology is not well defined and is not universally agreed upon. Often, the same term is used to describe a variety of methods measuring different properties. For example, terms such as water hydration capacity, water absorption, water binding, and waterholding capacity are all used interchangeably to describe water bound or retained by a protein. It is therefore necessary to carefully define the terms under study and make sure the methods selected measure the desired parameters.

Work on production of RPs from jute fiber by hot press molding with TP films (at Ho Chi Mihn City University of Technology, Polymer Research Centre, Vietnam) has shown that they have a potential use in replacement of wood and also glass fiber RPs, provided that the high water absorption and poor interfacial adhesion can be eliminated.

Sample analyses were carried out by a number of laboratories. We are grateful to Mr. Mark E. Peden and Ms. Loretta M. Skowron of the Water Survey s Analytical Chemistry Laboratory Unit for atomic absorption spectrophotometry, Mr. L. R. Henderson of the Illinois State Geological Survey for X-ray Fluorescence specto-scopy, and Dr. T. A. Cahill of the University of Califomia-Davis for elemental analysis. Mr. R. G. Semonin reviewed the manuscript. This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. ATM-7724294, and by the Department of Energy, Division of Biomedical and Environmental Research, under Contract No. EY-76-S-02-1199.
