Deposition dispersion

These supercapacitors use modified conventional textile material as the base material and then thin active layers of electrodes and electrolyte are applied on it. The textile fabric can also be used as the main active components of the supercapacitor, say the electrode or the separator or the holder of the active elements. If the textile material is used as the base, it is normally modified by adding conductive polymers or metal particles to it by various techniques (coating, printing, deposition, dispersion, or on-site polymerization of conductive polymer).

Other interesting Langmuir monolayer systems include spread thermotropic liquid crystals where a foam structure forms on expansion from a collapsed state [23]. Spread monolayers of clay dispersions form a layer of overlapping clay platelets that can be subsequently deposited onto solid substrates [24]. 

Selection of pollution control methods is generally based on the need to control ambient air quaUty in order to achieve compliance with standards for critetia pollutants, or, in the case of nonregulated contaminants, to protect human health and vegetation. There are three elements to a pollution problem a source, a receptor affected by the pollutants, and the transport of pollutants from source to receptor. Modification or elimination of any one of these elements can change the nature of a pollution problem. For instance, tall stacks which disperse effluent modify the transport of pollutants and can thus reduce nearby SO2 deposition from sulfur-containing fossil fuel combustion. Although better dispersion aloft can solve a local problem, if done from numerous sources it can unfortunately cause a regional one, such as the acid rain now evident in the northeastern United States and Canada (see Atmospheric models). References 3—15 discuss atmospheric dilution as a control measure. The better approach, however, is to control emissions at the source. 

Dispersion Resins. Polytetrafluoroethylene dispersions in aqueous medium contain 30—60 wt % polymer particles and some surfactant. The type of surfactant and the particle characteristics depend on the appHcation. These dispersions are appHed to various substrates by spraying, flow coating, dipping, coagulating, or electro depositing. 

Additive packages have been developed which do an exceUent job of preventing IVD. The key to effective operation is to keep the valve wet so that the additive can prevent deposit buildup. Most packages include a combination of detergent/dispersant and a carrier oil or heavy solvent. If no carrier oil is present, then the fuel may evaporate off the valve too rapidly for the package to be effective. When the valves do not rotate, the portion of the valve which has the highest deposit level is the back side which is not constantly wet. 

Classification of the many different encapsulation processes is usehil. Previous schemes employing the categories chemical or physical are unsatisfactory because many so-called chemical processes involve exclusively physical phenomena, whereas so-called physical processes can utilize chemical phenomena. An alternative approach is to classify all encapsulation processes as either Type A or Type B processes. Type A processes are defined as those in which capsule formation occurs entirely in a Hquid-filled stirred tank or tubular reactor. Emulsion and dispersion stabiUty play a key role in determining the success of such processes. Type B processes are processes in which capsule formation occurs because a coating is sprayed or deposited in some manner onto the surface of a Hquid or soHd core material dispersed in a gas phase or vacuum. This category also includes processes in which Hquid droplets containing core material are sprayed into a gas phase and subsequentiy solidified to produce microcapsules. Emulsion and dispersion stabilization can play a key role in the success of Type B processes also. 

Figure 4d represents in situ encapsulation processes (17,18), an example of which is presented in more detail in Figure 6 (18). The first step is to disperse a water-immiscible Hquid or soHd core material in an aqueous phase that contains urea, melamine, water-soluble urea—formaldehyde condensate, or water-soluble urea—melamine condensate. In many cases, the aqueous phase also contains a system modifier that enhances deposition of the aminoplast capsule sheU (18). This is an anionic polymer or copolymer (Fig. 6). SheU formation occurs once formaldehyde is added and the aqueous phase acidified, eg, pH 2—4.5. The system is heated for several hours at 40—60°C.

A unique feature of in situ encapsulation technology is that polymerization occurs ia the aqueous phase thereby produciag a condensation product that deposits on the surface of the dispersed core material where polymerization continues. This ultimately produces a water-iasoluble, highly cross-linked polymer capsule shell. The polymerization chemistry occurs entirely on the aqueous phase side of the iaterface, so reactive agents do not have to be dissolved ia the core material. The process has been commercialized and produces a range of commercial capsules. 

The most widely used pitch control method is the addition of pitch dispersants, which can be either organic, ie, typically anionic polymers such as naphthalene sulfonates, ligninsulfonates, and polyacrylates (33,34), or inorganic, ie, typically clay or talc. The polymers maintain the pitch as a fine dispersion in the pulp, preventing agglomeration and potential deposition on the paper machine or the sheet. When talc, clay, or other adsorbent fillers are added to the furnish, moderate amounts of pitch can adsorb on these materials, producing a nontacky soHd that can be retained in the sheet. 

According to Faraday s law, one Faraday (26.80 Ah) should deposit one gram equivalent (8.994 g) of aluminum. In practice only 85—95% of this amount is obtained. Loss of Faraday efficiency is caused mainly by reduced species ( Al, Na, or A1F) dissolving or dispersing in the electrolyte (bath) at the cathode and being transported toward the anode where these species are reoxidized by carbon dioxide forming carbon monoxide and metal oxide, which then dissolves in the electrolyte. Certain bath additives, particularly aluminum fluoride, lower the content of reduced species in the electrolyte and thereby improve current efficiency.
