Data nanostructured materials

Carbon nanotubes are unique materials with specific properties [42]. There is a considerable application potential for using nanotubes in the biomedical field. However, when such materials are considered for application in biomedical implants, transport of medicines and vaccines or as biosensors, their biocompatibility needs to be established. Other carbon materials show remarkable long-term biocompatibility and biological action for use as medical devices. Preliminary data on biocompatibility of nanotubes and other novel nanostructured materials demonstrate that we have to pay attention to their possible adverse effects when then-biomedical applications are considered. 

Magnetic columns FeNi(P) concern to a class of nanostructured materials. Therefore, for interpretation of the data on the approach magnetization to saturation, the special advanced techniques should be used [1], A field of local magnetic anisotropy Ha, correlation radius of casual magnetic anisotropy Rc, a field of anisotropy, the size of the basic unit of a nanostructured magiwtic, the stochastic magnetic domain can be determined with this technique. These parameters can be associated with the GMR effect. 

On the other hand, hysteresis of the temperature-induced structural phase transitions in nanostructures with first-order phase transitions reduce useful magnetocaloric effect to transform cycling between martensite (M) and austenite (A) phases under application. In addition, the size, surface and boundary effects on thermal hysteresis loops have been under consideration for the development of research on nanostructured materials. Experimental data indicate that nanostructured materials offer many interesting prospects for the magnetization data and for understanding of temperature-induced martensite/austenite phase transitions.

The mechanisms of crystal phase formation are a key problem in materials science that has not clear comprehension still now. At present, the study of this problem is especially important in connection with the development of nanostructured materials. There are two different approaches to consideration of crystal nucleation/growth as well as crystal melting/dissolution processes [1,2], In accordance with the first approach based on the atomic-molecular theory, the individual atoms or molecules take the leading part in these processes (the role of clusters is ignored). In accordance with the second approach based on the cluster theory, these processes are carried out mainly by means of clusters. Till recently the atomic-molecular theory was generally accepted. However, today many scientific data vote for the cluster theory. The aim of this paper is to analyze the main statements of the cluster conception of crystal phase formation and as a result to consider the nature of nanocrystal. 

Part 5 covers special structures such as liquid crystals, solid surfaces and mesoscopic and nanostructured materials. The chapter on liquid crystals covers physical properties of the most common liquid crystalline substances as well as some liquid crystalline mixtures. Data compiled in the chapter on solid surfaces refer to atomically clean and well characterized surfaces. The values reported are mainly averages from different authors where reference to the original papers is made. In the chapter on nanostructured materials emphasis is placed on size and confinement effects. The properties associated with electronic confinement are addressed and particular attention is drawn to semiconductor-doped matrices. The two main applications of nanostructured magnetic materials, spintronics and ultrahigh-density data storage media, are also treated. 

There are many methods of surface modification, among which nanostructure based modifications have created a new approach for many applications in recent years. Although MOFs are one of the most promising nanostructured materials for modification of textile fibers, only a few examples have been reported to data. In this section, the first part focuses on application of MOFs in nanofibers and the seeond part is concerned with modifications of ordinary textile fiber with these nanoporous materials.

For the future, many progresses can be envisioned. The use of arrays of different electrodes and the treatment of the data so obtained with chemometrics will increase the power of the obtained information. New nanostructured materials will ampUly the possibilities for this purpose. 

Automated Extraction of Interference Functions. For the classical synthetic polymer materials it is, in general, possible to strip the interference function from the scattering data by an algorithm that does not require user intervention. Quantitative information on the non-topological parameters is lost (Stribeck [26,153]). The method is particularly useful if extensive data sets from time-resolved experiments of nanostructure evolution must be processed. Background ideas and references are presented in the sequel.
