The relative acidities of fifteen 4- and 5-substituted salicylic acids were determined in benzene solution by potentiometric titration. The potentials at half neutralization (h.n.p.) relative to that of salicylic acid were considered to measure the acidities of the substituted acids relative to the parent acid. These potentials, designated by Δhnp, gave a significantly better correlation with Hammett's sigma constants in an equation of the form proposed by Jaffe, Δhnp = ρ1σ1 + ρ2σ2, than in a simple Hammett equation, Δhnp = ρ1σ1. In these equations the subscripts 1 and 2 refer to the position of a substituent relative to the carboxyl group and to the phenolic group respectively. The value of ρ2/ρ1 was found to be 0.4, indicating that the electronic effect of a substituent on the acid strength via the phenolic hydrogen-bonded path is almost half as large as the direct effect through the carboxyl group. These results, together with the fact that in aqueous solution there is very little if any transmission via the phenolic group, are discussed in terms of intramolecular hydrogen bonding of salicylic acids in benzene and in water.

Grain boundary segregation is the process by which solute elements in a material diffuse to the grain boundaries, become trapped there, and increase their local concentration at the boundary over that in the bulk. As a result of this process this local concentration of the segregant at the grain boundary can be many orders of magnitude greater than the bulk concentration of the segregant. The importance of this problem lies in the fact that grain boundary segregation can affect many material properties such as fracture, corrosion, and grain growth.One of the best ways to study grain boundary segregation is with Auger electron spectroscopy. This spectroscopy is an extremely surface sensitive technique. When it is used to study grain boundary segregation the sample must first be fractured intergranularly in the high vacuum spectrometer. This fracture surface is then the one that is analyzed. The development of scanning Auger spectrometers have allowed researchers to first image the fracture surface that is created and then to perform analyses on individual grain boundaries.

This brief review seeks to summarize some of the main property changes which may be induced by altering the grain structure of materials. Where appropriate an interpretation is given of these changes in terms of current theories of grain boundary structure, and some examples from current studies are presented at the end of this paper.
