Rehydration Bonded Alumina. Rehydration bonded aluminas are agglomerates of activated alumina, which derive their strength from the rehydration bonding mechanism. Because more processing steps are involved in the manufacture, they are generally more expensive than activated aluminum hydroxides. On the other hand, rehydration bonded aluminas can be produced in a wider range of particle shape, surface area, and pore size distribution. 

Although most nonionic organic chemicals are subject to low energy bonding mechanisms, sorption of phenyl- and other substituted-urea pesticides such as diuron to sod or sod components has been attributed to a variety of mechanisms, depending on the sorbent. The mechanisms include hydrophobic interactions, cation bridging, van der Waals forces, and charge-transfer complexes. 

The carbon bond mechanism (64—66), a variation of a lumped mechanism, spHts each organic molecule into functional groups using the assumption that the reactivity of the molecule is dominated by the chemistry of each functional group.

As is true for macroscopic adhesion and mechanical testing experiments, nanoscale measurements do not a priori sense the intrinsic properties of surfaces or adhesive junctions. Instead, the measurements reflect a combination of interfacial chemistry (surface energy, covalent bonding), mechanics (elastic modulus, Poisson s ratio), and contact geometry (probe shape, radius). Furthermore, the probe/sample interaction may not only consist of elastic deformations, but may also include energy dissipation at the surface and/or in the bulk of the sample (or even within the measurement apparatus). Study of rate-dependent adhesion and mechanical properties is possible with both nanoindentation and... 

The mechanism of chemical adhesion is probably best studied and demonstrated by the use of silanes as adhesion promoters. However, it must be emphasized that the formation of chemical bonds may not be the sole mechanism leading to adhesion. Details of the chemical bonding theory along with other more complex theories that particularly apply to silanes have been reviewed [48,63]. These are the Deformable Layer Hypothesis where the interfacial region allows stress relaxation to occur, the Restrained Layer Hypothesis in which an interphase of intermediate modulus is required for stress transfer, the Reversible Hydrolytic Bonding mechanism which combines the chemical bonding concept with stress relaxation through reversible hydrolysis and condensation reactions. 

Repair. Repairs for damaged bonded structure can be either mechanical or adhesively bonded. Mechanical repairs are metallic doublers on one or both sides of a damaged component, held on by fasteners. The fasteners transfer the load through the doubler around the damaged site and restore part functionality. Although common for metal-to-metal bonded structure, mechanical repair of sandwich structure is rare because of the risk of further delamination. Unless the doubler and fasteners are perfectly sealed, water can travel into the honeycomb core eventually causing freeze-thaw damage and delamination.

Since n bonding is believed to be more important in low oxidation states, as d orbitals contract with increasing oxidation state leading to poorer dw-pw overlap, this would not be expected on the basis of a 7r-bonding mechanism. Similarly, one can compare /(Pt-P) for pairs of isomers in the +2 and +4 states in a planar platinum(II) complex, the platinum 6s orbital is shared by four ligands whereas in an octahedral platinum(IV) complex it is shared by six ligands. Therefore, the 6s character is expected to be only 2/3 as much in the platinum(IV) complexes, correlating well with the 7(Pt-P) values, which can be taken to be a measure of the a-character in the bond. 

As already mentioned, a purely 7r-bonding mechanism cannot account for the position of hydride in trans-effect and trans-influence series. Overall, therefore, a major role (though not necessarily the only one) for <7-bonding is implied. 

Where monomers or radicals arc charged, readily ionizablc or capable of forming hydrogen bonds, mechanisms whereby the solvent could affect radical reactivity by disruption or involvement of hydrogen bonding may seem obvious. For other systems mechanisms are often still a matter of controversy even in the case of small radicals (Section 2.3.6.2). There are at least three mechanisms whereby the solvent might modify the outcome of a radical process ... 

When two compounds react with each other to form new and different products, we try to understand how the reaction occurred. Every reaction involves the flow of electron density—electrons move to break bonds and form new bonds. Mechanisms illustrate how the electrons move during a reaction. The flow of electrons is shown with curved arrows for example.
