Use of phase diagrams

This last section allows you to test your understanding of the use of phase diagrams. 

I shall be wholly convinced of the beneficial conceptual synergy between polymers and other classes of materials when polymer scientists begin to make more extensive use of phase diagrams. 

In order to gain a better understanding of the usefulness of phase diagrams, consider a cylinder in which temperature can be controlled and volume varied by injection or removal of mercury as shown in Figure 2-2. Figure 2-2A shows that a pure substance has been trapped in the...

This chapter describes in a step-by-step manner a generic strategy that we have been using for the development of various industrial processes. The chapter begins with a discussion of the overall workflow for process development, followed by a description of the way in which a process is synthesized, which relies heavily on the use of phase diagrams. The deviation from equilibrium behavior is accounted for using a model-based approach. This is illustrated with an example on the asymmetric transformation of an enantiomer. 

One of the most important uses of phase diagrams in food applications is predict-tion of crystalline yield for a given system. For example, if a sucrose solution of certain concentration is allowed to crystallize to equilibrium, the amount of crystalline solid (yield) can be predicted based on the phase diagram. As will be seen later, crystalline phase volume is one of the most important determinants of food material properties.

This chapter is not intended to be a literature survey, since an excellent review paper on phase diagrams of silicon nitride-metal oxide systems has been written by Sorrell [5], This chapter, is, however, intended to illustrate the use of phase diagrams to study silicon nitride ceramics.

With the use of phase diagrams, we are also able to control the temperature and the viscosity at which phase separation occurs. The final morphologies of the three systems based on the same dicyanate monomer and modified with NFBN, ATBN, and PES are quite different and have different interfaces. When the additive can react with the monomer before network formation, a two-level structure is observed a primary structure (dispersed particles), and a substructure inside the dispersed particles. The complex morphology obtained in this case gives the best toughening effect. 

Experiment 2 in this manual illustrates the use of phase diagrams in choosing the right compositions and temperatures for the preparation of double salts. 

The solution to the problem of keeping the vapor pressure constant is found in the use of phase diagrams. During evaporation the vapor pressure will vary within each phase but will remain constant within a three-phase region. This means that the vapor pressure of the fragrance remains constant the entire time the total composition remains within this area during evaporation. 

This section will use examples from two areas of emulsion technology to illustrate the advantages and limitations in the use of phase diagrams to evaluate the structural changes during evaporation. As the first example, a system with a solubilized fragrance compound will be chosen, because of the relationship between the vapor pressure and the different phases. 

In the second chapter. Professor Friberg reviews flie use of phase diagrams within emulsion science and technology. Special emphasis is given to emulsion stability, preparation of emulsions, and prediction of structural changes during evaporation. The author has refined to completion the use of phase equilibria (equilibrium conditions for the eompo-...
