TT-Electron materials, which are defined as those having extended Jt-electron clouds in the solid state, have various peculiar properties such as high electron mobility and chemical/biological activities. We have developed a set of techniques for synthesizing carbonaceous K-electron materials, especially crystalline graphite and carbon nanotubes, at temperatures below 1000°C. We have also revealed new types of physical or chemical interactions between Jt-electron materials and various other materials. The unique interactions found in various Jt-electron materials, especially carbon nanotubes, will lay the foundation for developing novel functional, electronic devices in the next generation. 

AET activities are based upon its expertise in the field of protein biotechnology and are oriented to the area of protein stabilization technology and to the development and production of stabilized biosensors. The AET biosensor activities are enhanced by support and synergy with its sister companies Gwent Electronic Materials Ltd. and Gwent Sensors Ltd. 

In addition, it has been shown that the performance of the four-electron 02 reduction depends not only on the diporphyrin structure, but also on the electrode material upon which it is absorbed. Attempts to affix these catalysts onto electrode surfaces other than EPG, whilst preserving the four-electron catalytic activity, have been largely unsuccessful.18 One explanation is that some axial coordination of the porphyrin by the EPG electrode occurs which plays an important role. 

There have been a number of improvements in techniques, and more convenient models have been formulated however, the basic approach of the pseudopotential total energy method has not changed. This general approach or standard modd is applicable to a broad spectrum of solid state problems and materials when the dec-trons are not too localized. Highly correlated electronic materials require more attention, and this is an area of active current research. However, considering the extent of the accomplishments and die range of applications (see Table 14.3) to solids, dusters, and molecules, this approach has had a major impact on condensed matter physics and stands as one of the pillars of the fidd. 

Introducing chirality into polymers has distinctive advantages over the use of nonchiral or atactic polymers because it adds a higher level of complexity, allowing for the formation of hierarchically organized materials. This may have benefits in high-end applications such as nanostructured materials, biomaterials, and electronic materials. Synthetically, chiral polymers are typically accessed by two methods. Firstly, optically active monomers - often obtained from natural sources - are polymerized to afford chiral polymers. Secondly, chiral catalysts are applied that induce a preferred helicity or tacticity into the polymer backbone or activate preferably one of the enantiomers [59-64]. 

The last contribution in the prevailing volume deals with the application of a relatively new class of materials based on the addition of (electron-beam) activated polytetrafhioroethylene (PTFE) powder in rubber matrixes for preparing PTFE-based elastomeric composites. Besides other properties, the remarkably lower friction coefficient of PTFE enables its utilization for tribological applications. However, PTFE in rubbers has not been fully explored mainly due to its inherent chemical inertness and incompatibility. The present work signifies the electron modification of PTFE powder to improve its compatibility with rubber matrixes, the state of the art regarding its application in rubbers, and the preparation of PTFE-based elastomeric composites for several tribological applications. 

A few remarks would be in order on the potentiality of metal-containing polymers as application-oriented materials. The major applications of these materials are in the following directions (a) electronic materials, anisotropic optical materials - active species in electronic energy-transfer processes of lasers...
