Coating and homogeneity

When HRA is discharged from the mixer, the mixture should be homogeneous in appearance, with all aggregates completely coated with bitumen and there should be no indication of balling of fine aggregates.

Surfactant-coated surfaces may also rearrange on contact with a liquid as shown by Israelachvili and co-workers [77]. This mechanism helps to explain hysteresis occurring on otherwise smooth and homogeneous surfaces. 

PBXN-1. The requirements of the USA aimed forces are covered by a NAVORD Spec (Ref 50) which contains the following criteria (1) a preproduction sample which meets specs is required (2) a homogeneous mixt of RDX and treated Al, each coated and surrounded by nylon (3) RDX, acet recryst fines of 25 10 microns, by wt difference following extrn with... 

The behavior of carbonates will be used to illustrate heterogeneous processes, with emphasis upon the formation of inorganic surface coatings and solid solutions. This is a vital topic in the study of solid-solution interactions since it is coatings rather than bulk phases which are sensed by liquid solutions. Homogeneous reactions will be studied in terms of the competition of coulombic ion pairs with true complexes for anions. An extended form of the phase rule will be used. 

The microhotplate with the transistor heater was electrothermally characterized similarly to the procedures presented in Sect. 4.1.3. Special care was taken to exclude wiring series resistances by integration of on-chip pads that allow for accurate determination of Fsg and sd- With the two on-chip temperature sensors in the center (Tm) and close to the transistor (Tt) the temperature homogeneity across the heated area was assessed as well. Both sensors were calibrated prior to thermal characterization. The relative temperature difference (Tj - Tm)/Tm was taken as a measure for the temperature homogeneity of the membrane. The measured thermal characteristics of a coated and an uncoated membrane are summarized in Table 4.6. The experimental values have been used for simulations according to Eq. (4.10). 

The scope of this chapter will be to focus on well-defined metal complexes that serve as homogeneous catalysts for the production of polycarbonates from epoxides and carbon dioxide. Although there are numerous such well-characterized metal complexes that catalyze this transformation, we will focus this chapter on recent contributions involving metal salicylaldimine (salen) and derivatives thereof [6, 7]. Some of the alternative catalysts systems are very active and selective for copolymer production. Most notably among these are the zinc p-diiminates reported by Coates and coworkers [8, 9]. These systems have been reviewed in detail elsewhere [10]. 

TiOj coated fabric filters were prepared in a one-step process by the solvothermal method, and their properties were compared with those electrosprayed with Degussa P25. Filters coated with TiO nanoparticles prepared by the solvothermal method were superior to the commercial TiO powder in terms of particle size and homogeneity. A significant amount of bactericidal activity towards E. coli was successfully implanted into fabric filters by dip coating a solvothermally prepared TiO dispersion.
