Fundamental studies by reflection angle infrared spectroscopy of the bonding of EME coupling agents to metal oxides reveal a significant shift in the carbonyl absorbance band when the coupling agent is applied as a very thin layer on a metal oxide. The shift is reproducible and the extent varies with the type of oxide. These results were obtained both by use of copper mirrors and from CuzO powder coated with very thin layers of model compounds. The compounds were not removable by isopropanol, a solvent for the bulk compound. The thiol absorbances of thin layers of model compounds were also found to decrease in relative intensity with time. This illustrates that a specific chemical interaction has occurred. 

The particle size and composition of the dispersed phase of the colloidal dispersions were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The TEM experiments were carried out on a LEO-906 device. The samples were obtained by placing a drop of the colloidal solution in toluene on TEM copper grid coated with a thin layer of carbon and evaporated in air at room temperature. XRD patterns of powders were obtained by a diffractometer HZG 4A using CuKa radiation. The UV-vis spectra of the colloidal dispersions were recorded using Cary 500 Scan UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer with a 1-cm quartz cell. The PL spectra were recorded using a SFL-1211A spectrofluorimeter. 

Any iron present in the leach solution is removed by precipitation as goethite (FeOOH). The solution is then purified by cementation with lead powder to remove copper, silver, bismuth, arsenic and antimony, leaving impurities such as zinc, which do not co-deposit with lead. The purified solution is electrolysed in a diaphragm cell, which uses a coated copper cathode and a titanium mesh anode coated with ruthenium and iridium oxides. An ion permeable membrane separates the cathode and anode compartments. The cathode is fabricated from a dimpled copper sheet coated with an inert adhesive sheet between the dimples, leaving numerous sites of high current density to promote dendritic growth of the lead deposit. The crystalline lead falls from the cathode and is collected in the base of the cell. 

Scientists from Politecnico di Milano and Ineos Vinyls UK developed a tubular fixed-bed reactor comprising a metallic monolith [30]. The walls were coated with catalytically active material and the monolith pieces were loaded lengthwise. Corning, the world leader in ceramic structured supports, developed metallic supports with straight channels, zig-zag channels, and wall-flow channels. They were produced by extrusion of metal powders, for example, copper, fin, zinc, aluminum, iron, silver, nickel, and mixtures and alloys [31]. An alternative method is extrusion of softened bulk metal feed, for example, aluminum, copper, and their alloys. The metal surface can be covered with carbon, carbides, and alumina, using a CVD technique [32]. For metal monoliths, it is to be expected that the main resistance lies at the interface between reactor wall and monolith. Corning... 

The invention of percussion compositions for igniting powders is usually attributed to Forsyth [5]. In 1805 he employed pellets composed of a mixture of potassium chlorate and combustible materials, coated with wax to render them safer to handle, but even so they were still dangerous since the mixture was sensitive to friction. The first ignition caps were invented in the early nineteenth century. In these caps the ignitable composition was enclosed in a casing of brass or copper. This invention cannot be traced with any certainty to any individual. The literature on the subject names several chemists including Bellot and Egg in 1815 [5]. 

Copper-zinc alloys with a higher zinc content (brass) cannot be ground or formed into flake pigments on account of their brittleness. Controlled oxidation of natural bronze powders converts them into fired bronze powders. These shades (e.g., English green, lemon, ducat gold, fire red) are produced as a result of interference effects that depend on the thickness of the oxide coating. 

Copper acetylpropionylmethane (10 2 grams, i.e. 1 mol.) is slowly added with shaking to 7 8 grams of selenium tetrachloride suspended in 56 c.c. of anhydrous chloroform. After 30 minutes the mixture is filtered, the solvent removed from the filtrate by a current of air, and the residue triturated with absolute alcohol. A 24 5 per cent, yield of selenium acetylpropionylmethane is isolated as a yellow crystalline powder. It separates from absolute alcohol as pale yellow, glistening plates, M.pt. 137° C., is only faintly acid to litmus, and dissolves to a yellow solution in aqueous sodium hydroxide, decomposition gradually setting in with precipitation of selenium. The compound is practically insoluble in water or ether. It yields selenium when warmed with alcoholic aniline, and becomes superficially coated with red selenium on exposure to light.
