The final step of the methodology is to analyze the performance of the top candidates in the specific application being investigated. One of the advantages of using physical properties in the selection process is that many of these properties are required for process simulation. For example, in the selection of alternative liquid-liquid equilibrium solvents the density, viscosity, solubility, and distribution coefficients are properties needed both for selection and process simulation. 

Some physical and functional properties of casein modified by the covalent attachment of amino acids are given in Table IX. Despite extensive modification, the relative viscosities of 2% solutions of the modified proteins did not change significantly, with the exception of aspartyl casein which was more viscous. There was some decrease in the solubilities of aspartyl casein and tryptophyl casein as compared with the casein control. It is anticipated that adding some 11.4 tryptophyl residues per mole of casein would decrease the aqueous solubility of the modified protein. However the results with aspartyl casein are unexpected. The changes in viscosity, solubility, and fluorescence indicate that aspartyl casein is likely to be a more extended molecule than the casein control. There was a marked decrease in the fluorescence of aspartyl casein and tryptophyl casein (see Table IX). The ratios of the fluorescences of acetylmethionyl casein to methionyl casein and t-BOC-tryptophyl casein to tryptophan casein were 1.20 and 2.01, respectively, indicating the major effects that these acyl groups have on the structure of the casein. 

Guar gum and locust bean gum are galactomannans fiom plant sources. Because of similar chemical compositions, both have similar applications and modifications. Both gums bind well with many polysaccharides which alter both dispersion and viscosity characteristics. Etherification is the most common modification of these gums, and, in general, imparts greater viscosity, solubility, and solution clarity. 

Heat treatment of starch containing a trace of acid produces pyrodextrins, used principally as adhesives. The related British gums are produced at a higher temperature in the absence of add. These products are manufactured on an empirical basis and vary widely in viscosity, solubility and adhesive power according to small variations in the preparative procedure. During... 

Most properties of linear polymers are controlled by two different factors. The chemical constitution of tire monomers detennines tire interaction strengtli between tire chains, tire interactions of tire polymer witli host molecules or witli interfaces. The monomer stmcture also detennines tire possible local confonnations of tire polymer chain. This relationship between the molecular stmcture and any interaction witli surrounding molecules is similar to tliat found for low-molecular-weight compounds. The second important parameter tliat controls polymer properties is tire molecular weight. Contrary to tire situation for low-molecular-weight compounds, it plays a fimdamental role in polymer behaviour. It detennines tire slow-mode dynamics and tire viscosity of polymers in solutions and in tire melt. These properties are of utmost importance in polymer rheology and condition tlieir processability. The mechanical properties, solubility and miscibility of different polymers also depend on tlieir molecular weights.

Ucon HTF-500. Union Carbide Corp. manufactures Ucon HTE-500, a polyalkylene glycol suitable for Hquid-phase heat transfer. The fluid exhibits good thermal stabHity in the recommended temperature range and is inhibited against oxidation. The products of decomposition are soluble and viscosity increases as decomposition proceeds. The vapor pressure of the fluid is negligible and it is not feasible to recover the used fluid by distiHation. Also, because the degradation products are soluble in the fluid, it is not possible to remove them by filtration any spent fluid usuaHy must be burned as fuel or discarded. The fluid is soluble in water. 

Poly(alkylene glycol)s have a number of characteristics that make them desirable as lubricants. Compared to petroleum lubricants, they have lower pour points, a higher viscosity index, and a wider range of solubilities including water, compatibility with elastomers, less tendency to form tar and sludge, and lower vapor pressure (35). 

In secondary operations, where chemicals are injected into hydrocarbon formations in conjunction with a chemical flooding process, polyamines are used to reduce the loss of injected chemicals to the formation by adsorption and precipitation (312). TEPA and other ethyleneamines are used with water-soluble polymeric thickeners in water—flood petroleum recovery operations to stabilize viscosity, mobiUty, and pH while imparting resistance to hydrolysis (313). 

In formulating liquid detergent products with LAS, the carbon chain distribution, phenyl isomer distribution, and DATS level can all contribute to the solubility and viscosity characteristics. Hydrotrope requirements for isotropic liquid detergents can vary widely for different types of commercial LAS. 

However, these viscosity results are inconsistent with commercial experience comparing high 2-phenyl and low 2-phenyl LAS. It has been reported that high 2-phenyl LAS made by the AlCl3/chloroparaffin process gives better solubility and lower viscosity than low 2-phenyl LAS [15,16]. The apparent inconsistency between the results shown in Table 5 and commercial experience is due to the DATS level. 

Emulsion polymerization is the most important process for production of elastic polymers based on butadiene. Copolymers of butadiene with styrene and acrylonitrile have attained particular significance. Polymerized 2-chlorobutadiene is known as chloroprene rubber. Emulsion polymerization provides the advantage of running a low viscosity during the entire time of polymerization. Hence the temperature can easily be controlled. The polymerizate is formed as a latex similar to natural rubber latex. In this way the production of mixed lattices is relieved. The temperature of polymerization is usually 50°C. Low-temperature polymerization is carried out by the help of redox systems at a temperature of 5°C. This kind of polymerization leads to a higher amount of desired trans-1,4 structures instead of cis-1,4 structures. Chloroprene rubber from poly-2-chlorbutadiene is equally formed by emulsion polymerization. Chloroprene polymerizes considerably more rapidly than butadiene and isoprene. Especially in low-temperature polymerization emulsifiers must show good solubility and...
