Binary systems clay-based

The magnimde of the individual binary interaction parameters, efj, v j, i,j= 1, 2, must be computed from the two relations in Iiq. (14.5) with six parameters, of which only two (for the matrix, jj and Wjj) might be determined directly. The procedure developed for computation of the binary parameters in fully exfoliated PA-6-based CPNCs and in intercalated CPNCs based on PP and maleated polypropylene (PP-MA) have been published [Simha et al., 2001 Utracki et al., 2003 Utracki and Simha, 2004], but application of this strategy to a PS-based system needs to be examined. In the latter system, clay is poorly dispersed in PS, and beeause of... 

This chapter focuses on the application ofthermal methods specific to raw materials suitable for industrial clay products that are suitable for brick-making. Details ofthermal processes for the following materials are discussed singular, binary, and ternary clay-based systems structural ceramics solid waste in clay bricks significant archaeological clay products and brick clay products from Central Europe. 

Historically, oxide catalysts have been used primarily for vapor phase reactions in the petroleum and petrochemical industries. Recent work, however, has shown that these catalysts can also be effective in promoting a number of synthetically useful reactions. While simple oxides show activity for some oxidations they are more commonly used as solid acids or bases. Complex oxides can act as acids or bases as well as oxidation catalysts. Complex oxides can range in composition from the simple, amorphous, binary oxides to the more complex ternary and quaternary systems. The use of zeolites and clays can impart shape selectivity to a number of reactions, a feature that makes these systems particularly appealing for use in synthesis.
