TL;DR: Fluorescent monomers are described and claimed which are synthesized by reacting a substituted or non-substituted naphthalic anhydride with an amine and with a moiety containing a polymerizable group.

TL;DR: Fluorescent monomers of formula (I) and (II) wherein M is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, sodium, potassium, cesium, rubidium, lithium and ammonium, and n is selected in this article which are useful in the production of pyranine-tagged polymers which can be detected using a fluorometer and can be used in industrial water systems as treatment polymers.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method to control a cooling water system based on the rate of consumption of a fluorescent polymer is described and claimed, and the method is shown to work well in the case of water cooling.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for measuring a rate of fouling caused by a heat flux through the surface subjected to electrochemical polarization is proposed, which includes the steps of: providing a piezoelectric microbalance comprising a pyrolectric material with electrodes disposed thereon; exposing the working electrode of the microbalance to a flowing liquid, the liquid containing at least one fouling forming species; maintaining the liquid at a constant first temperature; maintaining liquid at required hydrodynamic conditions; applying either a constant heat flux, resulting in its working electrode having a variable second
