All the manifestations of the size-dependent physical properties of very small metal particles arise from the self-evident fact that a substantial fraction of the atoms are on the surface, and being there they differ from atoms inside simply because they have fewer neighbours and more unused valencies. This difference was quantified by defining a free-valence dispersion (Section 2.4.1), which depends upon the number of atoms in the particle in a similar way to that predicted by the equation... 

For DBES data three main factors contribute to the S parameter in polymers (1) free-volume content, (2) free-volume size, and (3) chemical composition. First, larger free-volume content contributes to a larger S value. DBES measures radiation near 511 keV where a major contribution comes from p-Ps. This p-Ps contribution is only 1/3 the o-Ps intensity as that in I3 of PAL data. Second, when p-Ps is localized in a defect with a dimension fix, the momentum Ap has a dispersion according to the Heisenburg uncertainty principle AxAp > h/4n. The S parameter from DBES spectra is a direct measure of the quantity of momentum dispersion. In a larger size hole where Ps is localized, there will be a larger S parameter due to smaller momentum uncertainty. Therefore, in a system with defects or voids, such as polymers, the S parameter is a qualitative measure of the defect size and defect concentration. The value of the S parameter also depends on the momentum of the valence electrons, which annihilate with the positrons. The absolute value of the S parameter therefore, may differ from polymer to polymer. Third, the S parameter depends on the electron momentum of the elements. As the atomic number of the elements increases, the electron momentum increases, and thus the S parameter decreases. Fortunately, in chemicals of... 

However, in reality, in unmodified PPTA, only the microfibrillar dimension of 10 nm in diameter was attained. The rod-like molecules dispersed in molecular level are expected to reinforce the matrix flexible molecules if the molecular interaction between both components is strong enough. The merits of MC are expected in the large aspect ratio of rod-like molecules. Another possible merit is in the realization of ideal valence bond strength in the main chain, which is free from any defects associated with the super-structure of macroscopic fiber. 

Initially, Li batteries used a liquid electrolyte, necessitating the use of a robust case for safety. It is now used in the ionized form. Figure 23.7 shows a typical Li ion cell utilizing a Li20 cathode and a carbon compound anode separated by a microporous membrane, using a non-aqueous electrolyte such as a Li salt dispersed in a mixture of alkyl carbonates. Since the non-aqueous electrolytes can be flammable. Valence Technology has developed the Li ion polymer battery using liquid lithium ion electrochemistry in a matrix of conductive polymers that eliminate free electrolyte within the cell. 

Explanation for the existence of order in these dilute dispersions of isotropic spheres requires the existence of forces whose range is long compared to those of chemical valence bonds or van der Waals forces. The polymer spheres possess bo md sulfate radicals on their surfaces, which can dissociate even in media of moderate polarity. The resulting coulombic forces, even when partially shielded by an atmosphere of free coimterions, possess the required long range. This range is drastically shortened, however, when neutral electrolyte is added, thereby producing an order-disorder transition.
