Copper, nickel, cobalt, iron, and zinc (270) for their physical properties using ultraviolet and infrared spectrometry (271). 

In addition to time-related effects, the soUd-state physical properties are also affected by adsorbed water, which functions as a plasticizer. Water pickup is affected by the nature of the cation, with sodium ionomers absorbing about 10 times the level of the zinc equivalent (6) under the same conditions. Drying must be carried out at temperatures below 100°C and is therefore a slow process. In commercial practice, ionomers are suppUed dry, and techniques have been developed to minimize moisture absorption during processing. 

Solders. In spite of the wide use and development of solders for millennia, as of the mid-1990s most principal solders are lead- or tin-based alloys to which a small amount of silver, zinc, antimony, bismuth, and indium or a combination thereof are added. The principal criterion for choosing a certain solder is its melting characteristics, ie, soHdus and Hquidus temperatures and the temperature spread or pasty range between them. Other criteria are mechanical properties such as strength and creep resistance, physical properties such as electrical and thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance. 

Zinc dust is used in the sherardizing process where work pieces are tumbled with zinc dust in rotating steel dmms which are heated electrically or by gas to 370—420°C (149). The steel parts are uniformly coated with zinc. In the chemical and metallurgical industries, zinc dust is used as a reducing agent, in the manufacture of hydrosulfite compounds for the textile and paper industries, and to enhance the physical properties of plastics and lubricants (2).

Vinyl neodecanoate [26544-09-2] is prepared by the reaction of neodecanoic acid and acetjiene in the presence of a catalyst such as zinc neodecanoate. Physical properties of the commercially available material, VeoVa 10 from Shell, are given in Table 4. The material is a mobile Hquid with a typical mild ester odor used in a number of areas, primarily in coatings, but also in constmction, adhesives, cosmetics, and a number of misceUaneous areas. Copolymerization of vinyl neodecanoate with vinyl acetate gives coating materials with exceUent performance on alkaline substrates and in exterior weathering conditions. 

Accelerated sulphur systems also require the use of an activator comprising a metal oxide, usually zinc oxide, and a fatty acid, commonly stearic acid. For some purposes, for example where a high degree of transparency is required, the activator may be a fatty acid salt such as zinc stearate. Thus a basic curing system has four components sulphur vulcanising agent, accelerator (sometimes combinations of accelerators), metal oxide and fatty acid. In addition, in order to improve the resistance to scorching, a prevulcanisation inhibitor such as A -cyclohexylthiophthalimide may be incorporated without adverse effects on either cure rate or physical properties. 

The physical properties of zinc and the diecasting alloys are given in Table 4.31.

The metals most used for corrosion protection by metal spraying are aluminium and zinc, both of which are anodic to steel in most environments. Physical properties of these coatings are shown in Table 12.6.

Chemistry is concerned with the properties of matter, its distinguishing characteristics. A physical property of a substance is a characteristic that we can observe or measure without changing the identity of the substance. For example, a physical property of a sample of water is its mass another is its temperature. Physical properties include characteristics such as melting point (the temperature at which a solid turns into a liquid), hardness, color, state of matter (solid, liquid, or gas), and density. A chemical property refers to the ability of a substance to change into another substance. For example, a chemical property of the gas hydrogen is that it reacts with (burns in) oxygen to produce water a chemical property of the metal zinc is that it reacts with acids to produce hydrogen gas. The rest of the book is concerned primarily with chemical properties here we shall review some important physical properties. 

The /3-alloys are different in nature from the 7-alloys and the a-manganese and /3-manganese structures discussed above, in that they are not complex structures, but are simple, being based upon the body-centered arrangement. /3-Brass, for example, has either a disordered structure, above 480°K, the copper and zinc atoms in essentially equal number being distributed largely at random over the points of a body-centered cubic lattice, or an ordered structure, below 300°K, with copper and zinc at the positions 000 and, respectively, of the cubic unit. Moreover, the physical properties of /3-brass are not those that indicate a filled zone structure. 

One of the most important phenomena in material science is the reinforcement of mbber by rigid entities, such as carbon black, clays, silicates, calcium carbonate, zinc oxide, MH, and metal oxide [45 7]. Thus, these fillers or reinforcement aids are added to mbber formulations to optimize properties that meet a given service application or sets of performance parameters [48-53]. Although the original purpose is to lower the cost of the molding compounds, prime importance is now attached to the selective active fillers and their quantity that produce specific improvements in mbber physical properties.

Y Picoline. Commercially pure y-picoline contains )S-picoline and 2 6-lutidine and sometimes traces of non-basic impurities (aromatic hydrocarbons) which cannot be separated by fractionation. The non-basic impurities are removed by steam distillation of the base in dilute hydrochloric or sulphuric acid solution (for details, see under a Picoline). The impure y-picoline is converted into the zinc chloride complexes of the component bases the 2 6-lutidine - ZnClj complex is the least stable and upon steam distillation of the mixture of addition compounds suspended in water, 2 6-lutidine passes over flrst. The complete separation of the 2 6-lutidine may be detected by a determination of the density and the refractive index of the dry recovered base at varioiu stages of the steam distillation. The physical properties are —...
