And composites, structural

Over the past decade, copper-catalyzed atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) has had a tremendous impact on the synthesis of macromolecules with well-defined architectures, functionalities, and compositions. Structural and mechanistic... 

The method is recommended particularly for dissimilar metal, cermet, and composite structures.

There are two complementary definitions of sensor based on its operation-use and composition (structure). Thus, a sensor can be defined as a miniature analytical device (not an instrument or an apparatus) that responds to the presence and/or concentration (activity) of an analyte-species and, according to Fig. 1.4 ...

It is obvious from the above review that a wide variety of composite materials and composite structures have been developed for attenuation of sound. Nevertheless, there is a continuing need and opportunity for new concepts for attenuation of air-borne and water-borne sound waves, and to reduce structural vibrations. In particular there is a continuing need for coatings which operate over a wide range of frequencies, over a range of temperatures, and in some cases over a range of pressures. 

Chalier et al. (2007), using mannoprotein at levels usually found in wines (150 mg/L), compared the effect of a whole mannoprotein extract (isolated from a synthetic medium subjected to alcoholic fermentation) to that of well characterized different mannoproteins fractions. From the four wine aroma compounds studied (isoamyl acetate, hexanol, ethyl hexanoate and /3-ionone), all except isoamyl acetate showed a decrease in volatility (up to 80%) when mannoproteins were present (Fig. 8F.3). They suggested that both the glycosidic and the peptidic parts of these macromolecules may be responsible for the interaction. They also found that the interactions of the whole mannoprotein extract Vs. mannoprotein fractions were different, suggesting that the conformational and compositional structure of these...

The overall project objective is the development and application of combinatorial methods to discover an efficient, practical, and economically sensible material for photoelectrochemical production of hydrogen from water and sunlight. We will introduce a shift in the research paradigm from the present method of conventional serial chemical research to a combinatorial approach featuring a systematic and deliberate high-speed exploration of the composition-stmcture-property relationship of new metal-oxide based solid-state materials to discover new and useful energy producing materials as well as better understand the fundamental mechanisms and composition-structure functional relationships of these materials.

A new US company based in Hudson, Massachusetts has developed intumescent coatings and additives that enhanee the fire properties of plastic and composite structures. Avtec Industries now offer Thermashield mastic coatings that can withstand temperatures in excess of 1200 °C for sustained periods. The coatings material is non-toxic and does not flake, peel or chip. It is resistant to water and chemieal attack and is claimed to withstand multiple high-impact shocks.

In order to develop the best polymer fibers and matrices, it is necessary to understand the system of composite manufacture and composite structure in relation to the requirements in use. But there is a difficulty - or an opportunity - here, because the system is not settled. There are many manufacturing methods giving different structures, and the choice depends on the fiber and matrix properties. Optimisation involves the interaction of properties with the system.
