The layered guest-host structures that can also develop undergo a structural evolution more reminiscent of the intercalation process in 2D layered materials (e.g., graphites or silicates). In this case, quasi-2D galleries open up between stacked sheets of the polymers chain as shown in Fig. 25.8. This type of ordering has often been reported in structural studies [84-89] using molecular dopants. Systems showing evidence of layered structures include iodine-doped PA [86] and AsF.s-doped PPV [87]. These layered structures may occur either alone or in combination with channel formations [85,89]. 

The kinetics of nanocomposite formation is much less understood. In clay-polymer mixtures, it is still unclear how the surfactant or polymer get into clay gallery and form the intercalated or exfoliated stmcture since the gallery is initially separated by less than 1 nm and thus hinders the infusion of external species. Thus, some important issues must be addressed (i) How do the galleries open for the accommodation of intercalating surfactant or polymer (ii) By what mechanisms do the chains enter the galleries (iii) What factors may affect the penetration of polymers into the galleries (iv) How does the diffiisivity of the intercalated chains compare to that of bulk chains Some theoretical efforts have recently been made toward such kinetics issues of nanocomposite formation. 

Last month s trend graph was 24 hrs in the life of a large museum AHU in a northern climate. The constant volume system delivered constant 55°F supply air to terminal reheat coils serving multiple temperature control zones. These temperature control zones were primarily art galleries open to the public during the day. The AHU consisted of a mixing box with airside economizer, heating hot water preheat coil, chilled water coU, humidifier, and supply fan.

Many of the same ionic surfactants used for the assembly of mesostructured molecular sieve catalysts [1-4] and related bulk phases [5] can be intercalated in a variety of layered host structures [6]. We have recently demonstrated that some of these mesostructure - forming surfactants retain their structure directing properties when intercalated in the galleries of smectite clays. In a manner quite analogous to bulk mesostructure formation, the intercalated surfactants direct the assembly of an open framework metal oxide (silica) structure within the constrained gallery regions of the layered host (7). The resulting porous intercalates are referred to as porous clay heterostructures (PCH). 

A testing gallery is essentially a-long, cylindrical vessel of large cross-section, circular or elliptical. One end of the gallery is closed either by a steel plate or by a br ick (or cement) wall, while the other end is open. 

The Dortmund-Derne gallery is 25m long and its elliptical cross-section is 1.30m wide and 1.80m high. One end of the gallery is closed by a brick wall, while the other is open. The expln chamber is 5m long and is separated from the open section of gallery by a paper partition. The chamber can be filled with 8-9 5% methane/air and/or coal dust/air mixts.
