The theories suggest that the elastic moduli of composites containing particulates with an aspect ratio of unity should be independent of the dimensions of the filler and dependent only on the relative moduli of filler and matrix, their volume fractions, and... 

Ceramic composites containing particulates are similar to multiphase ceramics, and these materials can be fabricated through traditional ceramic processes.

Source characterization results are not located in a centralized facility which is constantly updated. The Environmental Protection Agency has established the Environmental Assessment Data System (EADS) (31) which contains chemical compositions of particulate matter emissions tests. This existing computerized structure can provide the centralized location for receptor model source characterization information. Procedures such as those described for ambient data in the previous section need to be developed in order to allow receptor model users access to this data base over telephone lines. The data required of receptor model source tests should be incorporated into the EADS, and source characterization results should report this information in an EADS compatible format. 

What if the prior art would motivate one of ordinary skill in the art to make the applicant s claimed invention but for a different reason than that relied on by the applicant Should it matter The following example, taken from a CAFC opinion decided this exact question.31 The named petitioner, Dillon, was an assignor of the invention to Union Oil Company, whose application for patent was rejected in the USPTO. After unsuccessfully appealing to the USPTO Board of Appeals, the petitioner appealed to the CAFC and the rejection of the patentability of the claims was affirmed. The subject matter of the relevant claims was directed to compositions containing /c/ra-orthoesters in hydrocarbon fuels and methods of reducing particulate emissions using those fefra-orthoesters in hydrocarbon fuel. To clarify the subject... 

Composites can be classified into three groups according to the forms of reinforcement particulate-reinforced, fiber-reinforced, and laminate composites (see Fig. 15.1). A reinforcement is considered to be a particle if all of its dimensions are similar particles can have spherical, platelet, or any regular or irregular geometric form. Particles, usually referred to as fillers, are in some cases added to polymers to reduce costs rather than to reinforce them. Fiber-reinforced composites contain fibers whose lengths are much greater than their cross-sectional dimensions. When the properties vary with... 

TG curves can also be used for quantifying compositions of composites containing thermally decomposable components. Figure 10.32 shows an example of using the TG curves to determine the weight fraction of ceramic content in a polymer matrix. It is quite often that the real content of particulates in a composite is not the same as the nominal content. Figure 10.32 demonstrates that the amount of ceramics (hydroxyapatite) in composites can be accurately... 

The most recent development is hot isostatic pressing (Section 6.7.2) in ivhich forming of the part(s) from dry particulate raw materials and heat treatment are combined in one piece of equipment [B.13a, B.97]. This technology is especially used for the manufacture of high-performance ceramics and of composites containing ceramic and other (e.g., metal) components.
