More recently, Raman spectroscopy has been used to investigate the vibrational spectroscopy of polymer Hquid crystals (46) (see Liquid crystalline materials), the kinetics of polymerization (47) (see Kinetic measurements), synthetic polymers and mbbers (48), and stress and strain in fibers and composites (49) (see Composite materials). The relationship between Raman spectra and the stmcture of conjugated and conducting polymers has been reviewed (50,51). In addition, a general review of ft-Raman studies of polymers has been pubUshed (52). 

The cellulosic-reinforced composite materials (i.e., synthetic wood) are suitable for a wide range of applications including [62] (A. U. Ferrari, Mobil Chemical Comp., personal communication, 1994) ... 

Natural graphite and synthetic graphite were used as fillers for the manufacture of conducting composite materials by the polymerization filling technique [24, 53-56], The manufacture of conducting polymer composite materials by this technique on the basis of some kinds of carbon black is also known [51, 52],... 

A species consisting of several ligands (the Lewis bases) that have an independent existence bonded to a single central metal atom or ion (the Lewis acid). Examples (1) H,N—BF, (2) [Fe(H2())J,l PtCl4. composite material A synthetic material composed of a polymer and one or more other substances that have been solidified together. 

The data presented in Figure 8 graphically illustrate the tremendous and rapid growth in interest in FOSS chemistry, especially for patented applications. This looks set to continue with current applications in areas as diverse as dendrimers, composite materials, polymers, optical materials, liquid crystal materials, atom scavengers, and cosmetics, and, no doubt, many new areas to come. These many applications derive from the symmetrical nature of the FOSS cores which comprise relatively rigid, near-tetrahedral vertices connected by more flexible siloxane bonds. The compounds are usually thermally and chemically stable and can be modified by conventional synthetic methods and are amenable to the usual characterization techniques. The recent commercial availability of a wide range of simple monomers on a multigram scale will help to advance research in the area more rapidly.

Research on semiconductor nanoparticle technology by chemists, materials scientists, and physicists has already led to the fabrication of a number of devices. Initially, Alivisatos and co-workers developed an electroluminescence device from a dispersion of CdSe nanoparticles capped with a conducting polymer349 and then improved on this by replacing the polymer with a layer of CdS, producing a device with efficiency and lifetime increased by factors of 8 and 10, respectively. 0 Chemical synthetic methods for the assembly of nanocrystal composites, consisting of II-VI quantum dot polymer composite materials,351 represent one important step towards the fabrication of new functional devices that incorporate quantum dots. 

A strain of yeast and a strain of bacterium were co-immobilized to fabricate a biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) sensor based on sol-gel derived composite materials97. This novel type of biosensor was developed for water monitoring and was used to determine the BOD values of OECD synthetic wastewater, domestic wastewater, and lake waters. The microorganisms Trichosporon cutaneum and Bacillus subtilis were coimmobilized in the sol-gel composite material, which was composed of silica and the grafting copolymer of poly (vinyl alcohol) and 4-vinylpyridine (PVA-g-P(4-VP)). 

Self-assembly and nanotechnology are advancing rapidly, but the challenge still remains to develop a means of fabrication and manufacturing. The rapid developments in synthetic chemistry produce myriad new polymeric and composite materials. These advances are enhanced by progress in optical, micromechanical, and spectroscopic probes. The miniaturization and diversification of synthesis through biological or combinatorial approaches provide unprecedented... 

For some applications, a combination of materials may be required to achieve a composite with the desired properties and performance. Property-improved lignocellulosic fibers can be combined with materials such as metal, glass, plastic, natural polymers, and synthetic fiber to yield a new generation of composite materials. New composites will be developed that utilize the unique properties obtainable by combining many different materials. This trend will increase significantly in the future. 

Emergence gives rise to novel properties. Do you accept the idea that in the future unimaginable novel properties will emerge from the study of new composite materials or new synthetic complex systems ... 

This study demonstrated that the micro-mesoporous composite materials could be synthesized with two-step treatment by microwave using two different templates system with TPABr and MTAB. This formation was controlled by the self-assembly formation of supramolecular templates between MTA micelles and SiO /TPA gels. As varying microwave irradiation time of micro-mesoporous materials, gradually transition from the mesophase to micro-mesophase was occurred. These materials have higher dm spacing of mesoporous materials and lead to transition from mesophase to micro-microphase by an increment of synthetic time, while the calcined products is formed with bimodal and trimodal pore size distribution under microwave irradiation within 3 h. From TG-DTA and PL analysis, the self-assembly formation of supramolecular templates between MTA+ micelles and SiO /TPA+ gels were monitored.
