Highly structured, 3-D nanoparticle-polymer nanocomposites possess unique magnetic, electronic, and optical properties that differ from individual entities, providing new systems for the creation of nanodevices and biosensors (Murray et al. 2000 Shipway et al. 2000). The choice of assembly interactions is a key issue in order to obtain complete control over the thermodynamics of the assembled system. The introduction of reversible hydrogen bonding and flexible linear polymers into the bricks and mortar concept gave rise to system formation in near-equilibrium conditions, providing well-defined stmctures. 

Sulfur Mortars Hot melt-and-pour sulfur mortars are ancient, doubtless one of the oldest of all chemical resistant materials still used today. They are very resistant to non-oxidizing acids and weak alkalies below 200°F over a pH range of 0-12. Three types of sulfur mortars are typically employed (1) One containing an all-silica filler with minimum plasticizer, used to bond acid brick (2) A mortar with an all-carbon filler and minimum plasticizer, used primarily to lay carbon brick for nitric-hydrofluoric acid pickling tanks (to clean stainless steels) and the underlying floors and (3) A much more flexible all-silica filled product with double the amount of plasticizer of the other two mortars, used to join vitrified clay (terra cotta) pipe conveying waste acids and other effluent chemicals, and to assemble "pole line hardware" for the power industry. 

PET is useful polymer used for fiber, film, and plastic containers such as carbonated beverage bottles. Recently, the recycling of polymers such as PET after use is attracting the attention of many researchers aware of environmental problems and wishing to find ways to save earth resources. Previous studies showed that unsaturated polyester resins can be economically prepared from recycled PET and the resins may be useful for resin concretes (1 4). However, there is little information on the molecular features of the UPE resins. Thus, we synthesized various UPE resins from PET. Especially, the PET content, chain flexibility and degree of unsaturation of the resins were systematically varied and the effects of those variables on the mechanical properties of the cured resins and polymer mortars made therefrom were studied. 

There is no sharp dividing line between plastic mortars and sealants, but the former are usually in situ-polymerized, highly-filled, rigid composites while the latter are usually in sltu-polymerized, flexible polymers. Since plastic mortars do not require expensive molds, the phenolic and urea plastic motars were the pioneer plastics. The Interest in these readily fabricated, labor-intensive, plastics decreased as automated molding processes were developed. However, because of their excellent properties and the need to conserve energy, there is an renewed interest in these materials. 

However, until recently, the principal application of polyurethanes has been as in situ-polymerized rigid and flexible foams used for insulation and cushioning, respectively.— — Unlike the phenolic, urea and furan mortars, in which the high polymer formation is the result of the chain extension and crosslinking of a prepolymer, the final polyurethane product is the result of a reaction between hydroxyl and isocyanate groups as shown by the following equation ... 

This PVA latex leaves a dried film which is flexible without the addition of a plasticizer. The film has excellent water resistance, light stability, good aging characteristics and good film consolidation. This particular PVA latex may be used as a film forming binder in a water-based emulsion paint. Its particular characteristics of compatibility with cement have led to wide uses of this latex as an adhesive and an admixture for cementitious mortars and concrete. 

Upon completion of the Porton Down tests and closure of the site, the TDC system was prepared for shipment to Crescent City, Illinois, for storage. In December 2007 and January 2008, the system was prepared for shipment to Schofield Barracks in Hawaii. Several flexible connections were replaced. The flow control valves on the 3-in. and 10-in. pipes between the expansion tank and the air pollution control system were rebuilt. Tests were run using simulated equipment test hardware for 155-mm projectiles and 4.2-in. mortars in preparation for operations at Schofield Barracks. Planning was done for destruction of 155-mm projectiles in Hawaii the TDC had not previously destroyed... 

Products and Uses Material used in sealants, caulking, mortars, and adhesives. The consumer products come in both rigid and flexible form. The variety of products range from spandex fibers to cigarette filters to marine flotation devices. 

Formation of continuous polymer films in mortar or concrete due to a lower minimum film-forming temperature than the application temperature, and the high adhesion of the polymer films to cement hydrates and aggregates. (The minimum film-forming temperature is defined as the lowest temperature at which the polymer particles of a latex have sufficient mobility and flexibility to coalesce into a continuous polymer films.)... 

Schneider, et examined the effect of glass transition temperature (Tg) on the adhesion (to plywood) and flexibility of redispersible EVA powder-modified mortars for plywood substrates, and found that EVA powder with a glass transition temperature of -10°C is more effective than one with a glass transition temperature of 10°C. 

The possible application of cement mortars containing GRT as a flexible interface material was investigated (Nehdi and Khan, 2004). The effects of the water/cement ratio, GRT content, and particle size on the mechanical properties in uniaxial and triaxial compression of the mortars were studied. It was suggested that cement mortars containing GRT particles have a superior ductility to satisfy the requirement for deformations occurring around tunnel linings, pipelines, and other buried infrastructure. 

Melamine formaldehyde sulfonate and naphthalene sulfonates are added to concrete to plasticize the mix. A plasticizer in concrete technology is a cement-dispersing agent. Other polymers can be added to cement mortars/concretes to improve flexibility and reduce permeability to water, e.g., styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) emulsions to give air entrainment for freeze-thaw resistance, e.g., alkyl sulfonates or to thixotropize a mix, e.g., polyacrylamide. 

Corrugated HDPE pipes are recommended for use in mortar, walls and concrete. Because the corrugated pipes are produced from pure HDPE they are resistant to stress cracking and therefore exhibit a flexibility that allows them to suffer slight denting without cracking or breaking. 

The substance must comply with Ph. Eur. requirements concerning particle size (see Sect. 10.8). During incorporation agglomerates should be broken down. This best may be performed using a stone or porcelain mortar and pestle. The use of plastic mortar and pestle or glass plate and flexible spatula is usually not sufficient to break down the agglomerates. 

The Chemical Warfare Service saw the 4.2-inch mortar as a weapon which possessed mobility and flexibility, which could go in and out of...
