Passive sampling: partition coefficients for a silicone rubber reference phase

Guidelines for passive sampling of hydrophobic contaminants in water using silicone rubber samplers

Characterization and Application of Passive Samplers for Monitoring of Pesticides in Water.

Five different water passive samplers were calibrated under laboratory conditions for measurement of 124 legacy and current used pesticides. This study provides a protocol for the passive sampler preparation, calibration, extraction method and instrumental analysis. Sampling rates (RS) and passive sampler-water partition coefficients (KPW) were calculated for silicone rubber, polar organic chem...

Physical properties of silicone rubber.

2 Mechanical engineer, USAMBRL. 3 Major, Army Medical Specialist Corps, USAMBRL. ROOM-TEMPERATURE-VULCANIZING (RTV) silicone rubber is a versatile material and easy to handle. The ingredients from which it is formed are thick liquids that vulcanize at room temperature within a short period of time after the catalyst is added. Depending upon the relative amounts of solid and foam ingredients, th...

'Silicone rubber' lenses in aphakia.

Tesicon, one of the commercially available 'silicone rubber' lenses, was used in the correction of aphakic patients. In 74% of cases the lenses were considered successful for a daily wear regimen by the patient. Furthermore, a small number of patients could wear this lens without interruption for 3 to 6 days at a time. Despite this good acceptance by patients, corneal problems (mainly staining)...

Gummy and Conductive Silicone Rubber Fingers

Vulnerability evaluation of various biometric systems should be conducted and its results should be available to potential users.
