Theoretical Calculation Of The Transport Properties Of Monatomic Lithium Vapor, Paul M. Holland, Louis Biolsi Jr., James C. Rainwater

Transport properties of dilute monatomic gases depend on two body atom-atom interaction potentials. When two ground state (2S) lithium atoms interact, they can follow either of two potential energy curves corresponding to the Li2 molecule in the X1Σ+g or 3Σ+u state. Transport collision integrals for these states have been calculated by accurately representing quantum mechanical potential energy curves with the Hulburt-Hirschfelder potential. The excellent agreement of calculated viscosities with experimental results provides further evidence that this potential can be used to estimate accurately transport properties under conditions where experimental data …

Plasma‐Substrate Interaction: Effect Of Volatile Oligomers In Silicone Rubber On Plasma Polymerization Of Fluorine‐Containing Monomers, Y. ‐S Yeh, H. Yasuda

The cause of the conspicuous Si content consistently observed on plasma polymers deposited on silicone rubber was investigated in this study. Plasma polymers of tetrafluoroethylene and of hexafluoroethane were deposited on the inside surface of Silastic tubings with and without oligomers by using a semicontinuous plasma polymerization reactor. This tube coating reactor is unique in the sense that the only surface which interacts with the plasma is the substrate surface (i.e., inside wall of tubing) and that plasma polymerization occurs in a very small volume of 3.3‐mm‐I.D. and 2‐cm‐long section of tubing at any given time. These two factors render …

A non-aqueous lamellar liquid crystal of sodium dodecyl sulfate, decanol and glycerol was prepared and compared with its aqueous counterpart. The results show that the stability of the liquid crystal with glycerol is critically dependent on the surfactant/alcohol ratio, whereas the liquid cry. The interlayer spacing was smaller for the glycerol system than for the water system at finite amount of solvent, but the value extrapolated to zero so. © 1986.

Deuterium NMR quadrupole splitting's of deuterated benzene and water were studied as a function of their composition in the aqueous lamellar phase of Penta ethylene glycol n-dodecyl ether. An interpretation of the results is given in terms of hydration changes of the poly(oxyethylene) chains related to changes in the benzene solvation and location within the head-group region. © 1986, American Chemical Society.

The mechanism of the hydro trope action of a dicarboxylic acid Mono soap was investigated by determination of the change in order parameter of the amphiphile in a lamellar liquid crystal. The results showed addition of the hydro trope considerably to reduce the order while addition of a surfactant had no effect. © 1986.

Surfactant Association Structures And The Stability Of Emulsions And Foams, Stig Friberg, Concepcion Solans
Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works
Traditional surfactants in combination with water and a more hydrophobic amphiphile, such as an alcohol or a carboxylic acid, present a rich variety of colloidal association structures, both micelles and lyotropic liquid crystals. The presence of such association structures has a pronounced influence on the stability of macro dispersed systems such as emulsions and foams. A few examples of such an influence are discussed. © 1986, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.

Microemulsions With High Water Solubilizing Capacity At High Hydrocarbon Levels And Very Low Surfactant Concentrations, Raymond L. Venable, Kay Lynn Elders, Jiafu Fang

Phase diagrams have been determined showing the extent of the inverse micellar or microemulsion region for systems consisting of water-surfactant-cosurfactant or water-surfactant-hydrocarbon cosurfactant mixture with three surfactants and four cosurfactants. The surfactants are sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium laurate, and tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide while the cosurfactants are pentanol, hexanol, pentylamine, and hexylamine. Hexylamine is found to be a very effective cosurfactant giving rise to very good water solubilizing capacity at extremely low surfactant concentrations and very low cosurfactant levels at rather high initial hydrocarbon levels. © 1986.
Influence Of Geometric Factors Of The Substrate On Hydrophilic Surface Modification Of Polyurethane Sponges By Plasma Treatment, D. L. Cho, H. Yasuda
Influence Of Geometric Factors Of The Substrate On Hydrophilic Surface Modification Of Polyurethane Sponges By Plasma Treatment, D. L. Cho, H. Yasuda
Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works
The surface modification by plasma treatment occurs by consecutive processes of excitation of gas(es) and deexcitation of excited species. The deexcitation occurs primarily at the surface yielding chemical modification of the surface (nonpolymer-forming plasmas) or deposition of material (polymer-forming plasma) on the substrate surface. Because of this sequence, geometric factors of the substrate in relation to the surrounding plasma phase have crucial influence on the effectiveness of plasma treatments. Simple mathematical models were developed to illustrate the effect of geometric factors involved in plasma treatments, and experimental results obtained with porous polyurethane sponges in various sizes were examined by the …

Interobserver Agreement is Essential to the Reliability of Clinical Data from Cooperative Studies and Provides the Foundation for Applying Research Results to Clinical Practice. in the Stroke Data Bank, a Large Cooperative Study of Stroke, We Sought to Establish the Reliability of a Key Aspect of Stroke Diagnosis: The Mechanism of Stroke. Seventeen Patients Were Evaluated by Six Neurologists. Interobserver Agreement Was Measured When Diagnosis Was based on Patient History and Neurologic Examination Only, as Well as When It Was based on Results of a Completed Workup, Including a Computed Tomographic Scan. Initial Clinical Impressions, based Solely on History and …
Foams From A Three-Phase Emulsion, Hironobu Kunieda, Stig Friberg
Foams From A Three-Phase Emulsion, Hironobu Kunieda, Stig Friberg
Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works
Foam stability was related to phase behavior in a foamed three-phase region consisting of an aqueous solution (L1), an alcohol solution (L2) and lamellar liquid-crystalline (LC) phases in the C8H17SO3Na/C8H17OH/H2O system. The state of the system before foaming was LC/L2 + LC/L1 or L1 + L2/LC type emulsions up to a high octanol/water ratio of 77/23. In L2 + LC/L1 emulsion, the LC droplets exist separately from the alcohol droplets in an aqueous continuous medium. The viscosity of the system was enhanced with an increase in the content of dispersed phases, i.e. alcohol and/or liquid crystal phases contributing to the …

The stability of foams was determined in two-phase regions containing an isotropic hydrocarbon solution and a lamellar liquid crystal. The lamellar liquid crystal showed surface activity with regard to the hydrocarbon solution. This was interpreted as due to the higher frequency of methyl groups at the surface of the liquid-crystalline state compared to the liquid state. The weaker intermolecular forces from the methyl groups were assumed to result in a lower surface tension of the liquid crystal in comparison to the liquid. This hypothesis was tested by the use of a low surface tension hydrocarbon, isooctane. No foam stability was …
