Suzuki et al. reported cloud-point temperatures as a function of pressure and composition in mixtures of poly(ethyl acrylate) and poly(vinylidene fluoride) [9], Their data in terms of p(T) curves at constant composition show that miscibility in the same system may either improve or decline with rising pressure, depending on the blend s composition. Important consequences for blend-processing ensue. A planned two-phase extrusion may easily be jeopardized by the pressure building up in the extruder. Conversely, a homogeneous melt may be turned into a two-phase system when the pressure on the blend increases. 

Because the cast films are relatively thin, the optical density of the light absorbing species can he low and can vary with time of exposure. Additionally, the depth penetration of the absorbed light can be inhomogeneous in some systems. However, thin films can be mounted directly in UV/visible or infrared spectrometers, and so the course of the photopolymerization (and the rate) can be monitored directly in some systems. The most common observation made is the disappearance of monomer (e.g., loss of double bond absorption in the IR) as a function of irradiation time. It must be emphasized that in most thin film compositions important industrially, the monomers used are multifunctional. The polymer which results is then highly cross-linked and simple kinetic arguments are usually not valid. 

There are many different ways of using fluorescence quenching techniques to study the morphology of polymer materials, even those of rather complicated composition. Important considerations are (i) the use of synthesis to introduce the dye as a sensor into a specific phase of the material (ii) the spectroscopic... 

In this section, clays are categorized based on how they are used in the ceramics industry. The two major types of ceramic clays are china clay and ball clay. Other materials of note include fire clays, bentonite, and talc. Less refractory materials including those classified as shales and stoneware clays are also of interest. The composition, important properties, and uses for these types of clays are discussed in this section. 

Involvement of Benzoquinonediimines. BQDI s are easily formed from PD by various oxidizing agents (1)and were detected in PD-stabilized hydrocarbons during the thermal oxidation (10, 11) and photooxidation (12). PD and BQDI create a reqox system. An equilibrium influenced by the acidity of the medium and oxidation potential of the participating compounds in the reaction mixture is established. Simultaneously, the chemical stability of BQDI, influenced by the N,N -substitution, is reflected in the final product composition. Important differences in the reactivity of BQDI substituted by N-sec.alkyls and N-aryls have been observed. The hydrolysis proceeds more easily on the C=N-sec.alkyl bond than on the C=N-aryl bond (13). 

A number of miscible polymer blends are only completely miscible and form one-phase systems over a limited concentration, temperature and pressure range. Under certain conditions of temperature, pressure and composition, miscible binary blends may phase separate into two liquid phases with different compositions. Important characteristics of this type of blends are the overall blend composition, the morphology and the composition of the different phases as well as the nature of the interface between the phases.

In contrast, here a bifunctional initiator is employed and the polymerization order of the two blocks is inverted In a first step, the styrene block is synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) followed by the addition of lactide via the recently developed organocatalytic ring-opening polymerization, as depicted in Fig. 3.1 [4, 5]. This synthesis route reduces the involved steps and enables a simplified and time-efficient preparation of copolymers with different block compositions. Importantly, both polymerization techniques offer precise and robust control over the copolymer composition, which is an essential requirement to reliably target the double-gyroid s narrow location in phase space [6]. 

In a very real sense, partly crystalline polymers are two-phase materials. While the major theme of this book is the behavior of two-phase materials, each phase being different chemically, the reader will observe a great deal of similarity between partly crystalline homopolymers, such as polyethylene, and the polyblends and composites. Important analogies or contrasts will be mentioned whenever appropriate. Indeed, the concept of highly oriented crystalline polymers as molecular composites has recently generated an exceptional degree of interest from both fundamental and engineering points...

What are pore waters and why are their compositions important with respect to the marine geochemistry of the lanthanides The term pore waters (or alternatively, interstitial waters) refers to the waters contained within the pores of sediments. Pore waters are extracted by different types of procedures. Centrifugation and squeezing of sediments are two common methods. The latter is accomplished by using hydraulic systems or gas pressure systems. In all methods the extracted waters are rapidly filtered (typically 0.22 or 0.45 [xm pore size) to yield dissolved matter for analysis.
