The component with the lower viscosity tends to encapsulate the more viscous (or more elastic) component (207) during mixing, because this reduces the rate of energy dissipation. Thus the viscosities may be used to offset the effect of the proportions of the components to control which phase is continuous (2,209). Frequently, there is an intermediate situation where a cocontinuous or interpenetrating network of phases can be generated by careflil control of composition, microrheology, and processing conditions. Rubbery thermoplastic blends have been produced by this route (212). 

Surface Coating. A dense surface coating (encapsulation) that contains no occluded solvent decreases interparticle attraction provided that the coating has a Hamaker constant intermediate between the particle and the Hquid. This is called semisteric stabilization (ST). The energy of interaction between coated spheres is as follows (26) ... 

The positive plates are siatered silver on a silver grid and the negative plates are fabricated from a mixture of cadmium oxide powder, silver powder, and a binder pressed onto a silver grid. The main separator is four or five layers of cellophane with one or two layers of woven nylon on the positive plate. The electrolyte is aqeous KOH, 50 wt %. In the aerospace appHcations, the plastic cases were encapsulated in epoxy resins. Most usehil cell sizes have ranged from 3 to 15 A-h, but small (0.1 A-h) and large (300 A-h) sizes have been evaluated. Energy densities of sealed batteries are 26-31 W-h/kg. 

The surface energy of silicones, the liquid nature of the silicone polymers, the mechanical properties of the filled networks, the relative insensitivity to temperature variations from well below zero to very high, and the inherent or added reactivity towards specific substrates, are among the properties that have contributed to the success of silicone materials as adhesives, sealants, coatings, encapsulants, etc.

Chemical PPE In a fire or thermal energy hazard, PPE worn by responders should meet, at a minimum, the criteria in 29 CER 1910.156 (e), Eire Brigade Standard, requiring turnout gear. In conditions where skin absorption of a hazardous substance may result in substantial possibility of immediate death, serious illness, or injury or impaired ability to escape, totally encapsulated chemical protective suits should be used. It is vital to keep heat resistance of the totally encapsulated suits and the heat resistance of any PPE used underneath or in conjunction with the totally encapsulated suits in mind any time there is a thermal hazard.

As is well known, many experimental smdies have been made extensively to search for a possibility of encapsulation of atoms by hollow fullerenes since the discovery of Cgo by Kroto et al. [143]. These methods, however, usually require high tempratures and high pressures, or ion implantation. The yields are also as low as 0.4—10 %. In this sense, the efficiency in our case is much higher and the required conditions are much milder with collison energy of 2 eV. However, the boron substimtion is a bottle neck, although Smalley and co-workers successfully synthesized boron-doped fullerenes [144].

Note that the particle shape is affected by the interaction between the active phase and the support and by the surface free energy. The former tends to lead to spreading of a particle, whereas the latter tends to form spherical particles (Scholten et al., 1985). When particles are partially poisoned (Fig. 3.48.b), chemisorption data can be interpreted wrongly the average particle size is overestimated. The same applies to particles encapsulated in the support.
