Chemical morphology

Figure 15 shows a set of complex plane impedance plots for polypyr-rolein NaC104(aq).170 These data sets are all relatively simple because the electronic resistance of the film and the charge-transfer resistance are both negligible relative to the uncompensated solution resistance (Rs) and the film s ionic resistance (Rj). They can be approximated quite well by the transmission line circuit shown in Fig. 16, which can represent a variety of physical/chemical/morphological cases from redox polymers171 to porous electrodes.172... 

It is well known that the properties of an interface are governed largely by the chemical/morphological nature and physical/thermodynamic compatibility between the two constituents and most often limit the overall performance of the bulk...

Similar to cleaning operations, consolidation and adhesion treatments are usually under analytical control. Measurements of the chemical, morphological, and physical properties of the consolidated material are indispensable to assure the efficiency of the operation. Changes in mechanical strength, color, and gloss, as well as chemical composition are assessed. Studies of stability of consolidants are frequently performed by means of namral and accelerated aging trials. 

Composite components, both fiber (or adherend) and matrix, have chemical, morphological and structural variability that can be operative at or near surfaces to form an interphase. Bulk characterization of these materials ignores these components because of the dilution of their effect in the bulk. However, when composites are fabricated, fiber to fiber distances are on the order of tenths of microns. Interphase structures are also on the order of tenths of microns and can be a significant proportion of the structure of the material between fibers.

Up to now, no single examination method exists (be it a clinical, laboratory chemical, morphological or imaging procedure) which, in itself, allows a global statement to be made regarding a particular type of liver disease or liver dysfunction. 

The exact mechanism responsible for the nephrotoxic effect of silicon remains to be elucidated although membrane damage possibly related to oxidant generation [89] or inhibition of superoxide dismutase activity [91] might be rational explanations. Based on reports on lung toxicity related to the chemical, morphological and surface characteristics of the various sihcon compounds, it is not known yet to which extent these exhibit direct toxic effects at the level of the kidney [90,92]. 

The chemical-structural mineral classification system developed since the first edition of Mineralogische Tabellen (1941) evolved from the chemical miiieral system of Hatiy (1801), which was based on cations, and of Berzelius (1814,1824), based on anions, followed by the chemical-morphological system of Gustav Rose (1838,1852), the periodic system of the chemical elements (c Introduction), and finally by the developing knowledge of atomic crystal structures (since Laue, 1912, Bragg, 1913). 

With this background, together with the knowledge about the seven crystal systems (Christian Samuel Weiss, 1815), the recognition of isomorphy and polymorphy (Mit-scherlich, 1819,1824), and the triad rule of chemical elements (Dbbereiner, 1829), Gustav Rose (1798-1873) developed a chemical-morphological mineral system (Berlin, 1838, 1852), which looks quite modern, even today ...

The RO and NF membrane processes are discussed in detail in Chapter 1. RO membranes are weU-suited to rejecting dissolved ions and most organics (some organics such as ethanol and acetone have very low rejections of 45-55%). The rate of water transport through a membrane depends on membrane properties (polymeric, chemical, morphological), water temperature, and the difierence in applied pressure across the membrane, less the difference in osmotic pressure between the concentrated and dilute solutions. Osmotic pressure is proportional to the solution concentration and temperature, and depends on the type of ionic species present. For solutions of predominandy sodium chloride at 25°C, a mle of thumb is that the osmotic pressure is 0.7 bar per 1000 mg/1 concentration (see Table 6.11 for osmotic pressures of various solutions).
