Describes a method of producing photographs of X-ray diffraction patterns using Kodak X-ray film. (SL)

Describes a reversal development process which produces black and white positive slides from two Kodak black and white films: Microfile AHU 6552, and High Contrast Copy Film 5069. (MLH)

Describes an activity that demonstrates catalysis of chemical reactions by ultraviolet (UV) light using one of the earliest photographic processes, the cyanotype process. (CCM)

Reviews current research interests in photographic chemistry, involving two proposed models for spectral sensitization of crystal defects and impurities in the photolysis reactivity and the mechanisms of development and complexation. Establishment of photographic chemistry in a chemistry curriculum is recommended. (CC)

Suggests that adequate attention should be given to lattice imperfections in teaching solid state chemistry. Some concepts to be included in such a program are explained. An experiment to be performed by undergraduates on photomicrography is described in detail. (PS)

Photochemical data are presented to indicate how use of sensitizing dyes extends the spectral range to which the substrate semiconductor is sensitive. Data demonstrate that specific energetic requirements exist for a dye to be an effective sensitizer. Also shows how photooxidation is increased by increasing surface concentration of the dye. (JN)

Student activities and experimental procedures are described for an experiment using black and white photographic development to illustrate the determination of reaction rate, kinetic order of a reactant, and activation energy. (Author/SK)

A study describes an easy procedure based on a negative photoresist process designed for junior high or high school students, which will introduce them to the key terms and concepts of photolithography. The experiment allows students to visualize the fundamental process behind microchip fabrication, observe the rapid prototyping enabled by such a…

Highlights four workshops held at the Seventh Biennial Conference on Chemical Education (Stillwater, Oklahoma 1982). Workshops focused on microcomputer tools for chemists, writing software for microcomputers, Project SERAPHIM instructional computer programming contest, and preparing three-dimensional photographs of models and structures. (JN)

Nanotechnology is an area of significant interest and can be used as a motivator for students in subject areas including physics, chemistry, and life sciences. A 5X reducer system and associated lesson plan was used to provide students a hands-on exposure to the basic principles of photolithography and microscale circuit fabrication.

Describes a one-year high school course in applied chemistry and introductory art. Gives a course overview by art and chemistry topic. Discusses color, painting surfaces, clays and glazes, texture and line, jewelry making, photography, art history, and chemical hazards in art. (CW)
