hygroscopicity

Hygroscopicity is used as a measure of a material's moisture-absorbing tendencies.

It has low hygroscopicity and its Mohs hardness is 4.5.

Also, it has a very low hygroscopicity- it does not pick up water from the air until the humidity level is 98%.

The hygroscopicity of the aerosol particles is related to the aerosol composition.

The drawbacks of CsI are a high temperature gradient and a slight hygroscopicity.

We use two types of tandem nephelometer systems to investigate the hygroscopicity of atmospheric aerosol particles.

Because of its hygroscopicity, wood tends to reach a moisture content that is in equilibrium with the relative humidity and temperature of the surrounding air.

Each pellet of ammonium nitrate was coated with a hydrocarbon wax to reduce the effects of hygroscopicity.

Because of its high water solubility, and thus hygroscopicity, CuSO leads to destructive reactions in feed mixtures.

The hygroscopicity of the smoke and dust influenced aerosol was much lower than that of the overall aerosol sampled at the site (see Fig. 4b).

Most metal chlorides (if not all) are quite stable as solids and the only property that I can think of off the top of my head is hygroscopicity.

Dexron-IIE was introduced in an effort to address the hygroscopicity problems with the previous IID fluid.

These bonds are easily broken by the polar molecules of water that explains the hygroscopicity of TGS - its crystals are easily etched by water.

A disadvantage of some inorganic crystals, e.g., NaI, is their hygroscopicity, a property which requires them to be housed in an air-tight enclosure to protect them from moisture.

Disadvantages to the use of DMSO-d are its high viscosity, which broadens signals, and its hygroscopicity, which leads to an overwhelming HO resonance in the H NMR spectrum.

Other sugar alcohols are sometimes used with erythritol, in particular isomalt, because of its minimally positive heat of solution, and glycerin, which has a negative heat of solution, moderate hygroscopicity, and noncrystallizing liquid form.

Manufacturers of dynamite and the other nitro-organics plied their trade as placidly as ever; manufacturers of ammonium nitrate fertiliser merely desensitised it and countered its hygroscopicity with kaolin or kieselguhr instead of wax.

Although the hygroscopicity was not a major problem in automatic transmissions, for which the fluid was originally intended, Dexron ATF:s were also used in other hydraulic systems, which is where the hygroscopicity was a problem.
