  2. Maxwell construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell_construction

    Every introductory thermodynamics text [15] [16] presents the fact that on such a plane the area under any curve is the heat transfer to the substance per mole, positive going from left to right and negative from right to left; moreover, in a cyclic process the net heat transfer to the substance is the area enclosed by the cycle's closed curve.

  3. Protecting group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protecting_group

    Cyclic acetals are very much more stable against acid hydrolysis than acyclic acetals. Consequently acyclic acetals are used practically only when a very mild cleavage is required or when two different protected carbonyl groups must be differentiated in their liberation.

  4. Acetoxy group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetoxy_group

    The structure of the acetoxy group blue.. In organic chemistry, the acetoxy group (abbr. AcO or OAc; IUPAC name: acetyloxy [1]), is a functional group with the formula −OCOCH 3 and the structure −O−C(=O)−CH 3.

  5. Acetalated dextran - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetalated_dextran

    The ratio of cyclic to acyclic acetals varies with reaction time since acyclic acetals are kinetically favored and cyclic acetals are the thermodynamically favored. [5] This unique formation of cyclic and acyclic acetals leads to varying degradation time because the two acetal groups hydrolyze at different rates. Acetalated dextran's ...

  6. Reductive amination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductive_amination

    Reductive amination (also known as reductive alkylation) is a form of amination that converts a carbonyl group to an amine via an intermediate imine.The carbonyl group is most commonly a ketone or an aldehyde.

  7. Portevin–Le Chatelier effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portevin–Le_Chatelier_effect

    The cyclic changes described above produce serrations in the plastic region of the stress strain diagram of a tensile test that is undergoing the Portevin-Le Chatelier effect. The variation in stress also causes non-homogeneous deformation to occur throughout the sample which can be visible to the naked eye through observation of a rough finish ...

  8. Pressure–volume diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure–volume_diagram

    Typically in thermodynamics, the set of processes forms a cycle, so that upon completion of the cycle there has been no net change in state of the system; i.e. the device returns to the starting pressure and volume. [citation needed] The figure shows the features of an idealized PV diagram. It shows a series of numbered states (1 through 4).

  9. Polyoxymethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyoxymethylene

    Polyoxymethylene (POM), also known as acetal, [4] polyacetal, and polyformaldehyde, is an engineering thermoplastic used in precision parts requiring high stiffness, low friction, and excellent dimensional stability.
