Electrical conductivity data treatment

Assuming a single-ion (carbonium ion) propagation step and based on scavenger studies with ammonia and amines and on electrical conductance measurements, rate constants for the propagation reaction (ion-molecule reaction) can be estimated. These estimates are free of the correction that one has to apply (or ignore) for chemically generated ion pair ionic polymerization, but are subject to other limitations imposed by different assumptions in the treatment of the data. 

The sheet conductivities of the PPy-PEO composite nanofiber mats were in the order of 10" S/cm calculated from the four-probe measurement data. Conductivities of electrospun nanofibers measured by using the four-probe method were about 10" S/cm. PPy was coated on PS nanofiber mats, and the conductivities of the PS-Cl-PPy and PS-TS-PPy fiber mats were found to be 2 x 10" S/ cm and 5 x 10 S/cm, respectively. It was demonstrated that the conductivity of the porous fiber mat could be influenced by the amount (PPy/PS ratio), doping, and crystallinity (polymer chain packing) of PPy in the fibers, the void volume, and the connectivity between fibers in the mat. When the PS template of the PS-TS-PPy fiber mat was removed by THF treatment and the electrical conductivity of the remaining material (TS-PPy) was measured, the conductivity increased to 0.13 S/cm by using the four-probe Van der Pauw method. ... 

The methods for data treatment included first-derivative transformation of log (1 /T) data with window size of 25 points, based on the Savitzki-Golay (22) polynomial filter. Calibration for quantitative determination of log SCC and absolute electrical conductivity was performed with PLS regression as described above. 

The bath model is prepared (as described above), made electrically conductive, and put into a sulphamate nickel bath for an electroplated deposition. Depending on the size, geometry and required wall thickness, the model stays between three to seven weeks inside the electroplated hath including disruptions (to renew auxiliary anodes and insert covers). When reaching the required wall thickness, the process is ended and the mold shell is ground to the outer contour. If necessary, the flange surfaces have to be milled, and fixed bore holes have to be drilled. After thermal or chemical demolding of the bath models, the inner contour is cleaned, the mold is measured, values are compared to the CAD data, and a defined surface treatment is applied. 

Based on the activities that were initially conducted for the enabling activity project (Bravante and Medina, 2004), it was reported that little is known about POPs in the country and that even the users have minimal understanding of their hazards. As no comprehensive data on POPs is available for use as baseline information, a more comprehensive inventory is needed for the Philippines to have an actual measure of the risks that must be managed and addressed in the NIP. The Initial National Inventory conducted showed that POPs have already been banned in the country except HCB and mirex, which have no recorded use, importation or production in the country. Significant amounts of PCBs mainly come from electric transformers and capacitors. Dioxins and Source Inventory by DOST showed that there are numerous sources of dioxins and furans in the country, which emit significant quantities of dioxins and furans into the environment. No treatment facility in the country that deals with the destruction of POPs and other toxic hazardous wastes are present in the country (Bravante and Moreno, 2005). 

The effects of thermal treatment and trace impurities on magnetothermal conductivity of good conductors cannot be predicted with confidence. The available experimental data indicate the thermal conductivity can vary by at least a factor of 2 due to differences in composition and thermal treatment. A factor-of-2 decrease in thermal conductivity was also observed when a 6366-kA/m field was applied to the copper and aluminum specimens. A possible solution to this problem is to assume that the Lorenz ratio can be used when the electrical and thermal conductivities involved are actually the magnetoresistivity and magnetothermal resistivity, i.e.,... 

The behavior of electromagnetic waves in normal metals at ordinary temperatures and microwave frequencies is quite adequately described by the classical treatment based on MaxwelPs equations and Ohm s law. At low temperatures this is no longer true even though MaxwelPs equations are still valid, Ohm s law is inadequate to describe the relation between high frequency electric currents and fields in metals. According to classical theory, the surface resistance R is inversely proportional to the square root of the dc conductivity cr. Consequently, as the temperature is lowered and o- increases, the classical theory predicts that R cc. This is not borne out in practice, as will be seen by referring to Fig, 1. The ordinate is IR the observed surface conductance, and the abscissa is proportional to c T. Initially the behavior is classical and as the temperature is lowered. As the dc conductivity becomes larger, however, I does not increase proportionately and in the low temperature limit it becomes independent of a (and temperature). This phenomenon is known as the anomalous skin effect. The experimental data shown are due to Chambers [1]. The solid curve is the curve predicted from the theory of Reuter and Sondheimer [2],...
