The relative positions of the lines on the photographs were determined with use of a steel millimeter scale. The intensities of the lines on the NaZn13 photographs were determined visually, by the multiple-film technique, with the use of no external standards.

The diffusion of Sr in the graphitic matrix A3-3 was studied in vacuum and in hydrogen at a pressure of 50Pa by using a thin film technique with vapor deposited carrier-free Sr as a source. In a vacuum ... 

Practical experience has shown that, depending on the field of application, a considerable reduction in inspection costs can be had when opting for radioscopy rather than radiography. By comparison with film technique, the inspection time of turbine blades for aircraft jet propulsion engines is reduced by 45% to 60%. When adding film costs, approximately DM 450.000,- can be saved per year /3/. As far as... 

The largest uses of platinum group metals in electronics are ruthenium for resistors and palladium for multilayer capacitors, both applied by thick film techniques . Most anodes for brine electrolysis are coated with mixed ruthenium and titanium oxide by thermal decomposition . Chemical vapour deposition of ruthenium was patented for use on cutting tools . 

In this case study, a zirconia-alumina membrane has been developed using the sol-gel technique with and without support.6-7 The porous ceramic was prepared to fabricate the membrane support. A thin film of aluminum and zirconium were formed on the porous ceramic support. Unsupported membrane was also prepared. The unsupported membrane was not strong enough to hold a high-pressure gradient it was very fragile and not useful... 

In the past decade, effects of an EEF on the properties of lubrication and wear have attracted significant attention. Many experimental results indicate that the friction coefficient changes with the intensity of the EEF on tribo-pairs. These phenomena are thought to be that the EEF can enhance the electrochemical reaction between lubricants and the surfaces of tribo-pairs, change the tropism of polar lubricant molecules, or help the formation of ordered lubricant molecular layers [51,73-77]. An instrument for measuring lubricant film thickness with a technique of the relative optical interference intensity (ROII) has been developed by Luo et al. [4,48,51,78] to capture such real-time interference fringes and to study the phenomenon when an EEF is applied, which is helpful to the understanding of the mechanism of thin film lubrication under the action of the EEF. 

It has been shown that surface-modihed C5Q-Pst polymer was synthesized and was transferred onto mica chips by using the vertical dipping method of L-B film techniques. Though the surface was scanned many times, only a small amount of transfer could be found on the surface of the L-B Hlms. L-B films of C5Q-Pst polymer, even with only one layer, showed good microtribological performance. The topography and the order of the hlms are the most important factors influencing the microscale friction and wear. 

Hydrocortisone microspheres (108,109) and films (110) based on poly(lactic acid) have been investigated. A cage implant technique was used to study the performance of monolithic poly (DL-lactide) films loaded with hydrocortisone acetate (110). Films 1.5 x 0.6 cm were inserted into titanium wire-mesh cages 3.5 x 1.0 cm. The cages were implanted in the backs of rats and the inflammatory exudate was sampled periodically. The white cell concentration in the samples was lower than that of controls at all times during the 21-day test. 

X-ray measurements of the deposited multilayers revealed practically the same structure in films prepared with the usual LB technique and electric field-assisted monolayer... 

Ultrathin-layer isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gels on polyester films was performed as described (Radola, 1980). Polygalacturonase activity was detected by the print technique with a dyed substrate (Ostazin Brilliant Red-D-galacturonan DP 10) (Markovic et al., 1992) or by the print technique with colouress D-galacturonan DP 10 dyed additionally with ruthenium red (Sigma, Germany).

For the investigation of polymer systems under spatial confinement, fluorescence microscopy is a powerful method providing valuable information with high sensitivity. A fluorescence microscopy technique with nanometric spatial resolution and nanosecond temporal resolution has been developed, and was used to study the structure and dynamics of polymer chains under spatial confinement a polymer chain in an ultra-thin film and a chain grafted on a solid substrate. Studies on the conformation of the single polymer chain in a thin film and the local segmental motion of the graft polymer chain are described herein. 

HS-GC methods have equally been used for chromatographic analysis of residual volatile substances in PS [219]. In particular, various methods have been described for the determination of styrene monomer in PS by solution headspace analysis [204,220]. Residual styrene monomer in PS granules can be determined in about 100 min in DMF solution using n-butylbenzene as an internal standard for this monomer solid headspace sampling is considerably less suitable as over 20 h are required to reach equilibrium [204]. Shanks [221] has determined residual styrene and butadiene in polymers with an analytical sensitivity of 0.05 to 5 ppm by SHS analysis of polymer solutions. The method development for determination of residual styrene monomer in PS samples and of residual solvent (toluene) in a printed laminated plastic film by HS-GC was illustrated [207], Less volatile monomers such as styrene (b.p. 145 °C) and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (b.p. 214 °C) may not be determined using headspace techniques with the same sensitivities realised for more volatile monomers. Steichen [216] has reported a 600-fold increase in headspace sensitivity for the analysis of residual 2-ethylhexyl acrylate by adding water to the solution in dimethylacetamide. 

Fig. 10. Time dependence of corrosion rate of Co8P and Co films, electrolessly plated and sputter-deposited onto NiP substrates, in a droplet of DI water. The results were obtained by a repeated application of the polarization resistance technique with the potential scanned at 1 mV/sec in a potential range 15 mV above and below the corrosion potential [125].

The fixative system generally used is a two-vial technique with one vial containing 5 to 10% buffered Formalin and the other vial containing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fixative. A portion of the specimen is added to the fixative in a ratio of approximately 3 parts fixative to 1 part specimen and thoroughly mixed to ensure adequate fixation. An alternative to Formalin is Merthiolate-iodine-formaldehyde (MIF), which fixes and stains at the same time. If unfixed specimens are processed in the laboratory, fecal films may be prepared and immediately fixed in Schaudinn fixative. 

Techniques for attaching such ruthenium electrocatalysts to the electrode surface, and thereby realizing some of the advantages of the modified electrode devices, have been developed.512-521 The electrocatalytic activity of these films have been evaluated and some preparative scale experiments performed. The modified electrodes are active and selective catalysts for oxidation of alcohols.5 6-521 However, the kinetics of the catalysis is markedly slower with films compared to bulk solution. This is a consequence of the slowness of the access to highest oxidation states of the complex and of the chemical reactions coupled with the electron transfer in films. In compensation, the stability of catalysts is dramatically improved in films, especially with complexes sensitive to bpy ligand loss like [Ru(bpy)2(0)2]2 + 51, 519 521... 

In order to avoid contamination of the alloys with oxygen, Gharpurey and Emmett (113) decided to attempt to prepare Cu-Ni catalysts by a film technique. They prepared thin films of copper on nickel or nickel on copper by successive evaporation and heated them overnight at 300°C in...
