Studies on a similar group of materials - polymeric composites reinforced with sisal fibers - were conducted by Manchado et al. [35]. They analyzed the presence of different fibers, such as sisal, on crystallization of polypropylene. The composites were prepared in special chamber for mixing where the matrix was plastified at 190°C. Obtained materials were subjected to thermal analysis by DSC. The analysis of thermograms allowed for a similar finding like in Joseph s studies [34], The presence of sisal fibers, as well as other fibers used in the study, accelerated crystallization of polypropylene. This was explained by the nucleating effect of sisal filler. Also, the half-time crystallization (ti/2) decrease was observed for polypropylene with the addition of sisal fibers in comparison with unfilled polypropylene. The analysis of nonisothermal crystallization showed that the degree of polypropylene crystallinity is higher for the composites filled with sisal fibers than for unfilled polymer.

Guo et al. 5 ook resin matrix composites filled with SIC whiskers as an example and analyzed the effect of the inter-facial zone state on mechanical properties of composite materials by finite element method. They hold that when whiskers are randomly distributed in a resin matrix with a certain volume fraction, they demonstrate a periodic distribution from the statistical point of view. It is assumed that the SIC whisker-reinforced phase in resin matrix composites is arranged in one direction without considering the effect of whisker orientation, the analysis model can be simplified as a rotator shape with the large cylindrical part as the polymer matrix and the small cylindrical part as the whisker. Therefore, a three-dimensional problem turns into an axisymmetric problem, and only a quarter part of the body model is taken in the calculation.

The XRD analysis of sodium montmorillonite (Cloisite Na shows that the interlayer spacing remains unchanged, that is to say that a microcomposite is formed rather than a nanocomposite. This structure has been confirmed by TEM where a clear microphase separation is observed. The properties of such a composite (filled with 3 wt% inorganics) remain in the same range as traditional microcomposites and very similar to the properties of the PCL matrix alone, as it will be shown further on.

Catalytic activity tests have been performed in a quartz microreactor (I.D.=0.8 cm) filled with 0.45 g of fine catalyst powders (dp=0 1 micron). The reactor has been fed with lean fiiel/air mixtures (1.3% of CO, 1.3% of H2 and 1% of CH4 in air resp ively) and has been operated at atmospheric pressure and with GHSV= 54000 Ncc/gcath The inlet and outlet gas compositions were determined by on-line Gas Chromatography. A 4 m column (I D. =5mm) filled with Porapak QS was used to separate CH4, CO2 and H2O with He as carrier gas. Two molecular sieves (5 A) columns (I D.=5 mm) 3m length, with He and Ar as carrier gases, were used for the separation and analysis of CO, N2, O2, CH4, and H2, N2, O2 respectively... 

The catalytic test of propane ODH reaction was performed in the 350-600°C range in a quartz fixed bed flow reactor with on line GC analysis. The free volume of the reactor after the catalyst bed was filled with quartz particles to minimize the homogeneous reactions. All the testing set was placed in a thermostat with heated lines to the gas chromatographs at about 100°C to prevent water condensation. The feed gas composition was C3H8/02/N2 = 20/10/70 vol.% at total gas flow 50 cm3 min-1. Catalyst fractions of 0.2-0.315 mm particle size and of 80 mg weight were loaded into the reactor. Before the reaction, the catalyst samples in the reactor were kept under airflow at 600°C for lh. 

Fig. 23 a Image of a microfluidic chip used for IFT measurements filled with liquid dye to illuminate channels. To perform the measurement, drops are injected (fluid la and b) are injected into an immiscible stream (2). Additional immiscible matrix is added (3a and 3b) conveying the drops into channel 4 for analysis and measurement. Constrictions in channel 4 accelerate/stretch the drops. Multiple constrictions enable measurement at different interface age. The channel geometry is shown schematically in the inset (from [108]). b Interfacial tension (ct) of water/ethylene glycol mixtures (binary drops) in PDMS oil, as a function of composition ((j)).

The water used for the leaching was from the NTS water well 5B, chosen because it represents a typical NTS groundwater. The composition of this water was determined by spectrochemical analysis and is shown in Table IV. A 208-liter polyethylene-lined drum was filled with this water approximately every two months and shipped to Livermore. Two-month renewal intervals were chosen since the leaching apparatus consumed water at about that rate. The pH of this water was determined at Livermore one week after collection and found to be 8.13 + 0.01.
