In the most common production method, the semibatch process, about 10% of the preemulsified monomer is added to the deionised water in the reactor. A shot of initiator is added to the reactor to create the seed. Some manufacturers use master batches of seed to avoid variation in this step. Having set the number of particles in the pot, the remaining monomer and, in some cases, additional initiator are added over time. Typical feed times ate 1—4 h. Lengthening the feeds tempers heat generation and provides for uniform comonomer sequence distributions (67). Sometimes skewed monomer feeds are used to offset differences in monomer reactivity ratios. In some cases a second monomer charge is made to produce core—shell latices. At the end of the process pH adjustments are often made. The product is then pumped to a prefilter tank, filtered, and pumped to a post-filter tank where additional processing can occur. When the feed rate of monomer during semibatch production is very low, the reactor is said to be monomer starved. Under these... 

Pressure-tubes allow the separate, low-pressure, heavy-water moderator to act as a backup hesit sink even if there is no water in the fuel channels. Should this fail, the calandria shell ilsdf can contain the debris, with the decay heat being transferred to the water-filled shield tank around the core. Should the severe core damage sequence progress further, the shield tank and the concrete reactor vault significantly delay the challenge to containment. Furthermore, should core melt lead to containment overpressure, the concrete containment wall will leak and reduce the possibility of catastrophic structural failure (Snell, 1990). 

These core-shell type microspheres have very interesting structural features in that the cores are hardly crosslinked and the shell chains are fixed on the core surface with one end of the shell chains. The other end of the shell chains is free in good solvents for the shell chains. As the result of such a specific structure, the solubilities of the core-shell type polymer microspheres are governed by, not the core, but by the shell sequences, and the core-shell structures do not break even in the dilute solution [9,10]. 

Generally, the number of the shell chains in a microsphere ranges from a few hundred to a few thousand. The range of the diameter of the core is from 10-100 nm. Such a core-shell structure is very similar to the (AB)n type star block copolymers, which have many arms and spherical polymer micelles of the block or graft copolymers formed in selective solvents that are good for the corona sequence and bad for the core sequence. In fact, many theoretical investigations of the chain con-... 

Core-shell-corona micelles were formed by PEHA-PMMA-PAA triblock copolymers in water, as demonstrated by Kriz et al. [266]. Ishizone et al. [267] synthesized ABC triblock copolymers containing 2-(perfluorobutyl)ethyl methacrylate, tBMA, and 2-(trimethylsilyloxy) ethyl methacrylate with various block sequences. These copolymers were converted into amphiphilic sys-...

The morphology of two-stage (styrene//styrene-butadiene) and (styrene-butadiene//styrene) latex particles was found to vary from a core-shell structure to a complete phase separation with various two-phase structures in between, depending on polymerization sequence, polymerization conditions, polymer compatibility, molecular weights, polymer phase ratio, etc. 

The effect of copolymer sequence on coil-to-globule transition was also studied using Langevin molecular dynamics [103]. The method for estimation of the quality of reconstruction of core-shell globular structure after chain collapse was proposed. It was found that protein-like sequences exhibit better reconstruction of initial globular structure after the cooling procedure, as compared to purely random sequences. 

Controlling the primary structures of metal nanoparticles (i.e., size, shape, crystal structure, and composition) is one of the most important missions for colloid science, especially for nanoparticle science and technology because these structures determine the chemical and physical properties of metal nanoparticles. Here, chemical methods are dealt with to control the compositions and structures of various bimetallic nanoparticles by making use of the difference in the reduction (decomposition) rate or the reduction sequence of two kinds of metal species. When two kinds of metal ions are simultaneously reduced, the reduction rates of metal ions usually determine the hnal structure of bimetallic nanoparticles (i.e., a core/shell structure or an alloy structure). The successive reduction of two kinds of metal ions, however, generally gives bimetallic nanoparticles with a core/shell structure. As a representative of the chemical properties of such bimetallic nanoparticles, their catalytic properties for...
