  1. Hygroscopy

    Refimprove date July 2009 Hygroscopy is the ability of a substance to attract and hold water molecule s from the surrounding Natural environment environment . This is achieved through either absorption chemistry absorption or adsorption with the absorbing or adsorbing material becoming physically changed, somewhat, by an increase in volume, stickiness, or other physical characteristic of the material, as water molecules become suspended between the material s molecules in the process. While some similar forces are at work here, it is different from capillary attraction, a process where glass or other solid substances attract water, but are not changed in the process for example, water molecules becoming suspended between the glass molecules . Hygroscopic substances include sugar , caramel , honey , glycerol , ethanol , methanol , diesel fuel , sulfuric acid , methamphetamine , many Salt chemistry salt s including sodium chloride table salt , and a huge variety of other substances. Zinc chloride and calcium chloride , as well as potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide and many different Salt chemistry salt s , are so hygroscopic that they readily dissolve in the water they absorb This property is called Hygroscopy Deliquescence deliquescence . Not only is Sulfuric acid hygroscopic in high concentrated form but its solutions are hygroscopic down to concentrations of 10  Vol or below. A hygroscopic material will tend to become damp and cake when exposed to moist air such as salt in salt shakers during humid weather . Because of their affinity for atmospheric moisture , hygroscopic materials might necessitate their being stored in sealed containers. When added to foods or other materials for the express purpose of maintaining moisture content , such substances are known as humectant s. Materials and compounds exhibit different hygroscopic properties, and this difference ... or expansion. A common example where differences in hygroscopy can be seen is a plastic ...   more details



  1. Filled cable

    In telecommunication , a filled cable is a cable that has a Hygroscopy nonhygroscopic material, usually a gel called icky pick , inside the jacket or sheath. The nonhygroscopic material fills the spaces between the interior parts of the cable, preventing moisture from entering minor leaks in the sheath and migrating inside the cable. A metallic cable, such as a coaxial cable or a metal waveguide , filled with a dielectric material, is not considered as a filled cable.

    orphan date January 2011 Weighing bottles are Laboratory glassware glass laboratory equipment used for precise weighing of solid s. Most of the glass used in the bottles is thin and fragile glass, but sometimes they are also made of ceramics or plastics . Dishes tend to have many different shapes. The three most popular are Flat glass dish, which is equipped with a ground cover. In the case of a bowl in which the weighed substances are Hygroscopy hygroscopic and decomposed when exposed to moisture or in contact with air, the sample is bottled in an atmosphere of nitrogen , and then weighed in the sealed glass container. Flat boat dish is a oblong, flat bottomed dish, in which it is easy to weigh out the substance, and then move it the reaction chamber, but is not recommended for hygroscopic or air reactive samples.

    A material material s Property metaphysics property is an intensive quantity intensive , often quantitative property of a material, usually with a unit of measurement unit that may be used as a Metric mathematics metric of value to compare the benefits of one material versus another to aid in materials selection . A material property may be a Physical constant constant or may be a function of one or more independent variables , such as temperature. Material s properties often vary to some degree according to the direction in the material in which they are measured a condition referred to as anisotropy . Materials properties that relate two different physical phenomena often behave linearly or approximately so in a given operating range , and may then be modeled as a constant for that range. This linearization can significantly simplify the differential equations differential constitutive equation s that the property describes. Some material s properties are used in relevant equations to determine the attributes of a system A priori and a posteriori a priori . For example, if a material of a known specific heat gains or loses a known amount of heat, the temperature change of that material can be determined. Materials properties may be determined by standardized test method s. Many such test methods have been documented by their respective user communities and published through ASTM International .

  1. Goldbeater's skin

    Goldbeater s skin the outer membrane of calf s intestine is a parchment traditionally used in the process of making gold leaf by beating, reducing gold into mere 1 m thick leaves. Up to 120 sheets of gold laminated with goldbeater s skin can be beaten at the same time, since the skin is thin, elastic and does not tear under heavy goldbeating . To manufacture goldbeater s skin, the gut of oxen or other cattle is soaked in a dilute solution of potassium hydroxide , washed, stretched, beaten flat and thin, and treated chemically to prevent putrefaction . A pack of 1,000 pieces of goldbeater s skin requires the gut of about 400 oxen, and is only 1  inch thick. Uses Goldbeater s skin is used as the sensitive element in hygrometer s, since, due to its hygroscopy hygroscopic property, variations in atmospheric humidity cause skin contraction or expansion. Alexander Graham Bell used a drum of goldbeater s skin with an armature of magnetised iron attached to its middle as a sound receiver see Invention of the telephone and the North German Confederation printed 10 and 30 groschen postage stamp s on goldbeater s skin, to prevent reuse of these high value stamps. Joseph Thomas Clover invented an apparatus for the inhalation of chloroform in 1862 which consisted of a large reservoir bag lined with goldbeater s skin to make it airtight, into which a known volume of liquid chloroform was injected. ref Sykes WS 1960 . Essays on the First Hundred Years of Anaesthesia , Vol. 2, Churchill Livingstone, Edinburgh. ISBN 0 443 02866 4, p. 8. ref Due to its transparency, strength, and fairly uniform thickness, goldbeater s skin is also used to repair holes and tears in manuscripts written on vellum . In the early 1900s decade 1900s large quantities of goldbeater s skin were used to make the gas bags of rigid airship s, exhausting the available supply about 200,000 sheets were used for a typical World War I Zeppelin , while the USS Shenandoah ZR 1 USS Shenandoah needed 750,000 sheets. ...   more details

  1. Primer (paint)

    Image White primer bucket.jpg 250px thumb right A bucket of primer Refimprove date February 2010 A primer is a preparatory coating put on materials before paint ing. Priming ensures better adhesion of paint to the surface, increases paint durability, and provides additional protection for the material being painted. removed statement about the word primer coming from Latin. To prime or a primer has meant to prepare or a preparer for hundreds of years, although it originally came from Latin, it does not directly mean a type of paint. When primers are used Primer is a paint product that allows finishing paint to adhere much better than if it were used alone. For this purpose, primer is designed to adhere to surfaces and to form a binding layer that is better prepared to receive the paint. Because primers do not need to be engineered to have durable, finished surfaces, they can instead be engineered to have improved filling and binding properties with the material underneath. Sometimes, this is achieved with specific chemistry, as in the case of aluminum primer, but more often, this is achieved through controlling the primer s physical properties such as porosity, tackiness, and hygroscopy . In practice, primer is often used when painting many kinds of porous materials, such as concrete and especially wood see detailed description below . Priming is mandatory if the material is not water resistant and will be exposed to the elements. Priming gypsum board drywall is also standard practice with new construction because it seals the wall and aids in preventing mold . Primers can also be used for dirty surfaces that, for some reason, cannot be cleaned, or before painting light colors over existing dark colors. Primers can usually be tinted to a close match with the color of the finishing paint. If the finishing paint is a deep color, tinting the primer can reduce the number of layers of finishing paint that are necessary for good uniformity across the painted surface.
