Abstract: Acrylonitrile is a monomer that is widely used in the production of a vast variety of polymers. Undesirable quantities of residual unpolymerized acrylonitrile are often present in polymers.

Abstract: During production of asphaltic concrete mixtures, the mix controls of a mixing plant are periodically adjusted to proportion fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, and asphalt cement in accordance with a new Riguez Index test thereby to produce pavement materials which when compacted contains a predetermined, controlled and substantially constant volume of air voids and/or percent voids filled (film thickness). The Riguez Index test is a volumetric analysis method which can quickly, i.e., within an hour, be performed in that it mathematically correlates the variations in the physical properties of the aggregated with the desired voidage to be attained in the compacted mixture. Under the test, both mix design and proportioning at the plant site are performed over a single sieve size, the No. 4 sieve being preferred.
