It is important to note that reinforced plastics remain a combination of materials differing in form or composition on a macro scale. The main constituents (resin, reinforcement, and filler) retain their identities and do not dissolve or merge into each other rather, they act in concert. These components can be physically identified and exhibit an interface between each other. 

The aim of the investigation was to study the influence of calcium and sodium ions, pectin containing extracts of aromatic vegetative raw materials and mumio on the carbopol gelation to develop the procedure of calcium and sodium ions mass part determination in extracts of aromatic vegetative pectin containing raw materials to establish the macro- and microelement composition of mumio. 

The determined macro- and microelement stmcture of mumio specifies onto the expediency of the application of this biologically active substance as a cosmetic raw material in the cosmetic compositions, which do not contain carbopol. The developed procedure for calcium and sodium ions determination in pectin-containing vegetative extracts is express and it is recommended for application at elaboration of cosmetic production compositions on the carbopol base. 

In the discussion of Sections 7-2.1 to 7-2.4, we tent. Heat content is sometimes called chemical found it useful to talk about different forms energy because its magnitude is intimately tied of energy. Two of these are heat and heat con- up with chemical composition. These are macro-... 

The ratios of subscripts in the formula can be determined if the elemental composition of an organism growing under particular conditions is known. A unique cell formula can then be established by relating elemental composition to one gram-atom of carbon, ie 9 = 1, then a, p, and 8 are set so that the formula is consistent with known relative elemental weight content of the cells. The formula can be extended to include other macro-elements, such as phosphate and sulphur, if elemental analysis shows these elements to be a significant proportion of cell material. 

Conducting polymer composite materials are typical disordered structures consisting of randomly (or according to a certain law) arranged particles of a conducting filler that are submerged into a polymer medium. In this case the filler particles have macro-... 

Polymer layered-silicate day nano-composites (PLCN) attracted lately major interests into the industry and academic fields, since they usually show improved properties with comparison by virgin polymers or their conventional micro and macro-composites. Improvements induded increase in strength, heat resistance (Giannelis, 1998), flammability (Gilman, 2000) and a decrease in gas permeability (Xu et ah, 2001) as well as an increase in biodegradability (Sinha et al., 2002). 

A mixture of polymers that can serve as a plugging solution when taken in an equimolar ratio consists of polydimethyl-di lyl ammonium chloride, which is a strongly basic cation-active polymer, and the sodium salt of carboxymethyl-cellulose, which is an anion-active polymer. The aqueous solution contains 0.5% to 4% of each polymer. Gelling occurs because the macro ions link together from different molecules. The proposed plugging composition has high efficiency within a wide pH range [497]. 

Polymer products synthesized in laboratories and in industry represent a set of individual chemical compounds whose number is practically infinite. Macro-molecules of such products can differ in their degree of polymerization, tactici-ty, number of branchings and the lengths that connect their polymer chains, as well as in other characteristics which describe the configuration of the macromolecule. In the case of copolymers their macromolecules are known to also vary in composition and the character of the alternation of monomeric units of different types. As a rule, it is impossible to provide an exhaustive quantitative description of such a polymer system, i.e. to indicate concentrations of all individual compounds with a particular chemical (primary) structure. However, for many practical purposes it is often enough to define a polymer specimen only in terms of partial distributions of molecules for some of their main characteristics (such as, for instance, molecular weight or composition) avoiding completely a... 

Encapsulation and composite materials are a key issue in PCM technology. Because some of their positive effects can result from similar microscopic properties, they are discussed together (Figure 109). In almost all cases a PCM has to be encapsulated for technical use, as otherwise the liquid phase would be able to flow away from the location where it is applied. Macro... 

Besides holding the liquid PCM and preventing changes of its composition through contact with the environment, macro encapsulation also... 

We considered micro-pA), values in Section 3.6. A parallel concept applies to partition coefficients (of multiprotic molecules) namely, if an ionizable substance of a particular stoichiometric composition can exist in different structural forms, then it is possible for each form to have a different micro-log P [224,243,273,275], When logP is determined by the potentiometric method (below), the constant determined is the macro-log P. Other log/1 methods may also determine only the macroscopic constant. 

This sequence was then repeated with a different titer composition as many times as necessary to cover the required range of amphiphile/water compositions. An MS-DOS desk-top computer with 640K of random-access memory (RAM) was used to control the calorimeter and to collect thermistor voltages at the fixed time intervals. Spread-sheet macros running on this same computer were used to make various plots, including thermistor voltage y . time and corrected heat ys time.

Of particular interest are the recently developed nanocomposites consisting of a polymer and layered silicate because they often exhibit remarkably improved mechanical and other properties [3] when compared with pure polymer or conventional composites (both micro- and macro-composites). A primary progress in... 

An inner filling solution and internal reference electrode are used in macro ISEs due to a very good stability of the potential at the inner membrane-solution interface in such a setup (see Fig. 4.4). However, the presence of a solution inside a sensor could be a serious limitation for development of microelectrodes and may be undesired for a variety of other reasons, including ionic fluxes in the membrane and limited temperature range of sensor operation. There are several requirements for such an inner contact. First of all, a reversible change of electricity carriers ions-electrons must take place at the membrane-substrate interface. The potential of the electrochemical reaction, ensuring this transfer, has to be constant, stable, and must not depend on the sample composition. At last, the substrate must not influence the membrane analytical performance. 

The biogeochemical fluxes and exposure pathways of various macro- and microelements are different from those shown for Tropical Rain Forest ecosystems. The chemical composition of leaves of tree species in Mangrove Forest ecosystems is connected with higher content of Mg, Cl and S-SO4- and lesser content of K and Si as compared to the leaves of trees from Tropical Rain Forest ecosystems. The content of A1 is 3-4 times higher than that of Si and this can be related to the values of hydrogenic accumulation of these elements in soils (Figure 3).
