Applications emerging

Several applications have been envisaged for nanocrystals, ranging from simple dyes to magnetic-resonance-imaging contrast agents [160], components of electronic circuitry [33, 161] and magnetic media [115], ingredients in catalyst and sensors, and so on. All the above applications seek to exploit the tunability provided by the size-dependent properties of the nanocrystals [4]. Before we dwell upon collective properties in mesostructures, the case of isolated nanocrystals is briefly discussed.

Though most of the applications of membrane reactors that we have discussed so far involve the production of useful chemicals some of the most interesting applications currently imder consideration relate to energy production, transfer and utilization. High temperature membrane reactors are, for example, being looked upon in the context of Chemical Energy Transmisssion Systems (GETS). 

The role of the membrane reactor is obvious. The membrane module Ml is important because it decreases the total amount of hydrogen flowing through Rrf this in turn decreases the ratio of reactor pressures P ,/Pdh, conversions (X / X ,) and temperatures Tj,) remaining the same. M3 is also important from an energy efficiency point of view, since it allows one to keep the pressure at 17 at the level of the hydrogen partial pressure at R (rather than the total pressure P/i) thus reducing the load on compressor C2. 

It should be obvious from the above discussion that though the ability of the high temperature membrane reactor to increase the reactor yield is important equally important is the membrane s ability to efficiently separate hydrogen at high temperatures and to sustain a transmembrane pressure drop. 

An interesting application of catalytic membrane reactors [14,136] relates to the production of tritium which together with deuterium will be the fuel for the fusion reactors of the future. Tritium is produced by mearts of a nuclear reaction between neutrons and lithium atoms in a breeder reactor. The tritium thus produced must be further purified to reach the purity levels that are required in the fusion reactor. For the extraction and purification process Basile and

By their nature, peptide-based responsive surfaces have been predominantly considered for biological applications. Three applications areas have been explored thus far (1) biosensors (2) control of the adhesion of proteins, cells, and other biomolecules and (3) bioseparation. The current state of the art for these three application areas will be outUned below. 

A second sensor based on ELP was reported by Chen and co-woikers (Gao et al., 2005). The ELP is fused to antibodies for a tumor marker (cancer antigen 19-9, CA 19-9) and subsequently used to immobilise the antibodies to a surface. In this case, the temperature responsiveness of the ELP was used for the fabrication of the sensor detection occurred via the addition of a second, fluorescently labelled antibody to the tumor marker after the marker had been immobilised. This biosensor had a detection limit of 21 units/mL for CA 19-9. 

It has been suggested that ELP-based materials are suited for the separation of other proteins, as they can reversibly entrap other biomolecules (Meyer Chilkoti, 1999). Although such an application has not yet been designed to use an ELP-based surface, Chilkoti and co-workers demonstrated that immobilisation of an ELP fusion protein can be accomplished directly from cell lysate without previous purification steps (Nath Chilkoti, 2003). Van Rest and co-workers have elegantly demonstrated that ELPs with different LCSTs can be used to spatially control the immobilisation of fusion proteins in a channel, thus preparing spatially separated areas with two different proteins (Teeuwen et al., 2009).

Today, the term solid electrolyte or fast ionic conductor or, sometimes, superionic conductor is used to describe solid materials whose conductivity is wholly due to ionic displacement. Mixed conductors exhibit both ionic and electronic conductivity. Solid electrolytes range from hard, refractory materials, such as 8 mol% Y2C>3-stabilized Zr02(YSZ) or sodium fT-AbCb (NaAluOn), to soft proton-exchange polymeric membranes such as Du Pont s Nafion and include compounds that are stoichiometric (Agl), non-stoichiometric (sodium J3"-A12C>3) or doped (YSZ). The preparation, properties, and some applications of solid electrolytes have been discussed in a number of books2 5 and reviews.6,7 The main commercial application of solid electrolytes is in gas sensors.8,9 Another emerging application is in solid oxide fuel cells.4,5,1, n...

The new research frontiers in chemical engineering, some of which represent new applications for the discipline, have important implications for education. A continued emphasis is needed on basic principles that cut across many apphcations, but a new way of teaching those principles is also needed. Students must be exposed to both traditional and novel applications of chemical engineering. The American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) has set in motion a project to incorporate into undergraduate chemical engineering courses examples and problems from emerging applications of the discipline. The committee applauds this work, as well as recent AIChE moves to allow more flexibility for students in accredited departments to take science electives.

Detailed accounts of fibers and carbon-carbon composites can be found in several recently published books [1-5]. Here, details of novel carbon fibers and their composites are reported. The manufacture and applications of adsorbent carbon fibers are discussed in Chapter 3. Active carbon fibers are an attractive adsorbent because their small diameters (typically 6-20 pm) offer a kinetic advantage over granular activated carbons whose dimensions are typically 1-5 mm. Moreover, active carbon fibers contain a large volume of mesopores and micropores. Current and emerging applications of active carbon fibers are discussed. The manufacture, structure and properties of high performance fibers are reviewed in Chapter 4, whereas the manufacture and properties of vapor grown fibers and their composites are reported in Chapter 5. Low density (porous) carbon fiber composites have novel properties that make them uniquely suited for certain applications. The properties and applications of novel low density composites developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are reported in Chapter 6. 

The major potential application of active carbon fibers is as an adsorbent in environmental control, as outlined in the previous section. However, there is a number of smaller scale, niche applications that seem to be particularly suited to ACF. These emerging applications include the use of ACF in medicine [111 (see also 59,60),112], as capacitors [113-119] and vapor sensors [120], and in refrigeration [121]. The first two of these applications are summarized below. However, there are not many detailed, publicly-available sources describing any of these applications, partly for commercial reasons and partly because the technology is emerging, so any summary is necessarily limited in scope. 

The second section focuses on emerging classes of photopolymerizations that are being developed as alternatives to acrylates. Three types of polymerization systems are included cationic photopolymerizations, initiator-free charge-transfer polymerizations, and a thiol-ene reaction system. The last section covers four interesting emerging applications of photopolymerization technology.

In Britain, the term archaeometry was coined in the early 1950s by Christopher Hawkes in Oxford to describe the increased emphasis on dating, quantification and physicochemical analysis of archaeological materials. A journal with the same name was launched in 1958 and textbooks by Martin Aitken (1961) and Mike Tite (1972) illustrated the full potential of emerging applications. In 1974, the first volume of another periodical dedicated to scientific work in archaeology (Journal of Archaeological Science) was published.

The phenomenon of two-photon absorption (2 PA) can be presented as a process of simultaneous absorption of two photons under high intensity irradiation, resulting in one excited molecule [Ij. The investigations of 2PA previously undertaken are of great interest for a wide variety of emerging applications [3,36-42]. The nature of 2PA can be described based on the interaction of molecular electrons with an optical field. On a microscopic level the displacement of molecular electronic charge under the electric field, E, is related to the induced molecular dipole moment fi ...
