This is a nonpolar rubber with very little unsamration. Nanoclays as well as nanotubes have been used to prepare nanocomposites of ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) rubber. The work mostly covers the preparation and characterization of these nanocomposites. Different processing conditions, morphology, and mechanical properties have been smdied [61-64]. Acharya et al. [61] have prepared and characterized the EPDM-based organo-nanoclay composites by X-ray diffracto-gram (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy... 

In the present study, we synthesized in zeolite cavities Co-Mo binary sulfide clusters by using Co and Mo carbonyls and characterized the clusters by extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and high resolution electron microscopy (HREM). The mechanism of catalytic synergy generation in HDS is discussed. 

At present, most workers hold a more realistic view of the promises and difficulties of work in electrocatalysis. Starting in the 1980s, new lines of research into the state of catalyst surfaces and into the adsorption of reactants and foreign species on these surfaces have been developed. Techniques have been developed that can be used for studies at the atomic and molecular level. These techniques include the tunneling microscope, versions of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and of photoelectron spectroscopy, differential electrochemical mass spectroscopy, and others. The broad application of these techniques has considerably improved our understanding of the mechanism of catalytic effects in electrochemical reactions.

Spectroscopic techniques may provide the least ambiguous methods for verification of actual sorption mechanisms. Zeltner et al. (Chapter 8) have applied FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) spectroscopy and microcalorimetric titrations in a study of the adsorption of salicylic acid by goethite these techniques provide new information on the structure of organic acid complexes formed at the goethite-water interface. Ambe et al. (Chapter 19) present the results of an emission Mossbauer spectroscopic study of sorbed Co(II) and Sb(V). Although Mossbauer spectroscopy can only be used for a few chemical elements, the technique provides detailed information about the molecular bonding of sorbed species and may be used to differentiate between adsorption and surface precipitation. 

The mechanism of bound residue formation is better understood today due to the use of advanced extraction, analytic, and mainly spectroscopic techniques (e.g., electron spin resonance, ESR nuclear magnetic resonance, NMR Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), methods that are applied without changing the chemical nature of the residues. 

Oxidation of thiourea adsorbed on Au(lll) and pc-Au electrode in 0.1 M HCIO4 has been investigated using CV, in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and differential electrochemical mass spectrometry [165]. Two reaction mechanisms were proposed for the oxidation of the adsorbed and nonadsorbed thiourea. For both types of Au electrodes, similar results were obtained. 

FTIR Spectroscopy and Mechanisms on Electrode. The basis of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was described in Section 6.2.6. One of the more difficult aspects of detecting the mechanism of electrode reactions is that of knowing the nature of the intermediate radicals on the electrode surface. Infrared spectroscopy measures chemical bonds, so it is an ideal method for detecting which bonds are present and hence which intermediate radicals are taking part in a surface reaction at a given potential, etc. 

The flame retardant mechanism of PC/ABS compositions using bisphenol A bis(diphenyl phosphate) (BDP) and zinc borate have been investigated (54). BDP affects the decomposition of PC/ABS and acts as a flame retardant in both the gas and the condensed phase. The pyrolysis was studied by thermogravimetry coupled with fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FUR) and nuclear magnetic-resonance spectroscopy. Zinc borate effects an additional hydrolysis of the PC and contributes to a borate network on the residue. 

Poly(vinyl acetate). The dielectric and mechanical spectra of hybrids produced by mixing a poly (vinyl acetate)—THF solution with TEOS, followed by the addition of HC1 have been investigated (45). Mixtures were made which were believed to be 0, 5, 10,15, and 20 wt °/o Si02, respectively. These composites were transparent and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir) revealed hydrogen bonding between the silicate network and carbonyl units of the poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc). No shift in the T of the composites from that of the pure PVAc was observed. Similady, the activation... 

Chemical characterisation of F uptake in archaeological bone has already been developed in the 19th century [1,2] and is now well established [60], However, relatively few studies use a combined multianalytical approach using trace elemental and microstructure analytical techniques (PIXE/PIGE, TEM-EDX) for evidencing modifications on different microscopic and nanoscopic levels (Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM, TEM) and enabling an objective evaluation of the F uptake mechanisms [32-34,51],...

The vibration spectra of nitrated l,2,4-triazol-5-ones [611, 614, 615] and their energetic salts [616] are discussed. The thermal decomposition mechanism under rapid heating of thin films of 3-nitro-l,2,4-triazol-5-one was studied by pulsed infrared laser and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy [1071],...
