Various copolymers, which differ with regard to their compositions, micro-structures, and properties, have been prepared by using several types of early transition metal catalysts, and these unique characteristics are dependent upon the nature of the complex catalysts used. The resultant copolymers possess unique properties as new polyolefin materials. The development of other new polyolefin materials (e.g., amphiphilic) may follow the use of this synthetic technique, which can be applied not only to styrene but also to styrene containing reactive functionalities (in combination with other polymerization techniques such as ATRP, RAFT, and ROP). 

Upton has recently studied the marine corrosion behaviour of a number of braze alloy-parent metal combinations and has shown that compatibility was a function of the compositions of the filler and parent metals, their micro-structures and chance factors such as overheating during the brazing operation. 

Analytical investigations usually concern samples which are temporally and locally invariant. This kind of analysis is denoted as bulk analysis (average analysis). On the other hand, analytical investigations can particularly be directed to characterize temporal or local dependences of the composition or structure of samples. One has to perform dynamic analysis or process analysis on the one hand and distribution analysis, local analysis, micro analysis, and nano analysis on the other. 

Steels and other structural transition-metal alloys are hardened by various extrinsic factors. The compositions and internal micro-structures of these materials are very complex. Therefore, simple descriptions and/or interpretations of their behaviors cannot be given, so they will not be discussed here. 

The development of composite micro/mesoporous materials opens new perspectives for the improvement of zeolytic catalysts. These materials combine the advantages of both zeolites and mesoporous molecular sieves, in particular, strong acidity, high thermal and hydrothermal stability and improved diffusivity of bulky molecules due to reduction of the intracrystalline diffusion path length, resulting from creation of secondary mesoporous structure. It can be expected that the creation of secondary mesoporous structure in zeolitic crystals, on the one hand, will result in the improvement of the effectiveness factor in hydroisomerization process and, on the other hand, will lead to the decrease of the residence time of products and minimization of secondary reactions, such as cracking. This will result in an increase of both the conversion and the selectivity to isomerization products.

Lignin comprises about 17-33% of the dry weight of wood. It is a complex aromatic polymer which appears to function both as a strengthening agent in the composite wood structure and also as a component which assists in the resistance of the wood towards attack by micro-organisms and decay. 

The performance of the product is not only determined by it s chemical composition and it s purity, but also by the product micro structure. 

In summary, modeling offers powerful tools and guidance for performance optimization. With advancements in new techniques for micro- and nanofabrication, it will be possible to engineer fuel cell CLs (electrodes) according to the compositions and structures predicted by modeling and simulation.

Analytical electron microscopy is the most sophisticated tool available for micro-structural analysis today. In this method, we can obtain both the high-resolution structure and elemental composition of a specimen. This is probably the best technique to obtain local elemental composition of small regions of heterogeneous solids. When a high-energy electron beam is incident on a specimen, we get elastically and inelastically... 

In this chapter membrane preparation techniques are organized by membrane structure isotropic membranes, anisotropic membranes, ceramic and metal membranes, and liquid membranes. Isotropic membranes have a uniform composition and structure throughout such membranes can be porous or dense. Anisotropic (or asymmetric) membranes, on the other hand, consist of a number of layers each with different structures and permeabilities. A typical anisotropic membrane has a relatively dense, thin surface layer supported on an open, much thicker micro-porous substrate. The surface layer performs the separation and is the principal barrier to flow through the membrane. The open support layer provides mechanical strength. Ceramic and metal membranes can be either isotropic or anisotropic.

The general focus of material choice for medium- to large-scale micro structured devices is on metals. Mostly stainless steels of various compositions, depending on the operation temperature, are used.
