This group can be composed of a combination of oxide ceramics-nonoxide ceramics oxide-oxide ceramics nonoxide-nonoxide ceramics ceramics-polymers, and so on—and an almost infinite number of combinations are possible. The reinforcements can be granular, platy, whiskers, and so on. When it is a combination of ceramics and polymers, the objective is to improve the toughness of the ceramics, which otherwise is brittle. When we combine two ceramics, the intention is to improve the hardness, so that the combination becomes more suited to a particular application. This is a somewhat new area of development, and compositions can also include metals in particulate or matrix forms. 

Ferroelectric Ceramic—Polymer Composites. The motivation for the development of composite ferroelectric materials arose from the need for a combination of desirable properties that often caimot be obtained in single-phase materials. For example, in an electromechanical transducer, the piezoelectric sensitivity might be maximized and the density minimized to obtain a good acoustic matching with water, and the transducer made mechanically flexible to conform to a curved surface (see COMPOSITE MATERIALS, CERAMiC-MATRix). 

The development of active ceramic-polymer composites was undertaken for underwater hydrophones having hydrostatic piezoelectric coefficients larger than those of the commonly used lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramics (60—70). It has been demonstrated that certain composite hydrophone materials are two to three orders of magnitude more sensitive than PZT ceramics while satisfying such other requirements as pressure dependency of sensitivity. The idea of composite ferroelectrics has been extended to other appHcations such as ultrasonic transducers for acoustic imaging, thermistors having both negative and positive temperature coefficients of resistance, and active sound absorbers. 

Liquid polyalurninum chloride is acidic and corrosive to common metals. Suitable materials for constmction of storage and handling facilities include synthetic mbber-lined steel, corrosion resistant fiber glass reinforced plastics (FRP), ceramics, tetrafluoroethylene polymer (PTFE), poly(vinyhdene fluoride) (PVDF), polyethylene, polypropylene, and poly(vinyl chloride) (PVG). Suitable shipping containers include mbber-lined tank tmcks and rail cars for bulk shipment and plastic-lined or aH-plastic dmms and tote bins for smaller quantities. Except for aluminum chlorohydrates, PAG products are shipped as hazardous substances because of their acidity. 

The ready availabiUty of computers has led to the detailed analysis of the colorant formulation problems faced every day by the textile, coatings, ceramics, polymer, and related industries. The resulting computer match prediction has produced improved color matching and reductions in the amounts of colorants required to achieve a specific result with accompanying reductions of cost. Detailed treatments have been given for dyes and for pigments (13,29,30). 

We shall now examine the modulus of ceramics, metals, polymers and composites, relating it to their structure.

This book has been written as a second-level course for engineering students. It provides a concise introduction to the microstructures and processing of materials (metals, ceramics, polymers and composites) and shows how these are related to the properties required in engineering design. It is designed to follow on from our first-level text on the properties and applications of engineering materials," but it is completely self-contained and can be used by itself. 

SIMS is one of the most powerful surface and microanalytical techniques for materials characterization. It is primarily used in the analysis of semiconductors, as well as for metallurgical, and geological materials. The advent of a growing number of standards for SIMS has gready enhanced the quantitative accuracy and reliability of the technique in these areas. Future development is expected in the area of small spot analysis, implementation of post-sputtering ionization to SIMS (see the articles on SALI and SNMS), and newer areas of application, such as ceramics, polymers, and biological and pharmaceutical materials.

Chapter 4 discussed chemical engineering challenges presented by materials and chemically processed devices for information storage and handling. In this chapter, five additional classes of materials are covered polymers, polymer composites, advanced ceramics, ceramic composites, and composite liquids. 

In this brief review we illustrated on selected examples how combinatorial computational chemistry based on first principles quantum theory has made tremendous impact on the development of a variety of new materials including catalysts, semiconductors, ceramics, polymers, functional materials, etc. Since the advent of modem computing resources, first principles calculations were employed to clarify the properties of homogeneous catalysts, bulk solids and surfaces, molecular, cluster or periodic models of active sites. Via dynamic mutual interplay between theory and advanced applications both areas profit and develop towards industrial innovations. Thus combinatorial chemistry and modem technology are inevitably intercoimected in the new era opened by entering 21 century and new millennium.

D microfabricated reactor devices are typically made by fabrication techniques other than stemming from microelectronics, e.g. by modern precision engineering techniques, laser ablation, wet-chemical steel etching or pEDM techniques. Besides having this origin only, these devices may also be of hybrid nature, containing parts made by the above-mentioned techniques and by microelectronic methods. Typical materials are metals, stainless steel, ceramics and polymers or, in the hybrid case, combinations of these materials.
