Growth perspective

The production of PET is a well-known industrial process. Early patents on PET synthesis refer to the 1940s. Esterification and transesterification reactions have been investigated since the end of the 19th century. PET production plants have been optimized over the last few decades based on well-established production know-how . PET is now a commodity product with unusually rapid growth and further nearly unlimited future growth perspectives. 

Emerging markets such as China and Eastern Europe offer an attractive growth perspective.

The following two sections will focus on epitaxial growth from a surface science perspective with the aim of revealing the fundamentals of tliin-film growth. As will be discussed below, surface science studies of thin-film deposition have contributed greatly to an atomic-level understanding of nucleation and growth. 

The need for weU-trained technical service professionals is expected to continue as an essential aspect of the chemical industry, despite the phenomenal growth ia electronic methods of information storage, retrieval, and transmission. Advanced troubleshooting of complex customer processes and accelerated accurate product development and market introductions should continue to be principal elements of technical service personnel duties. Increased levels of integration, perhaps blurring the lines between suppHer and customer, may come to pass. There are already instances of personnel swapping between customers and suppHers for extended periods to allow cross-fertilization of ideas and provide more accurate perspectives for the companies involved in these efforts. Technical service and research personnel have been those persons most directly involved in such efforts. 

Looking at these sources from an algal perspective, evolution in habitats in which soluble sources are deficient or, at best, transiently present in time as well as in space, has provided them with mechanisms to take up soluble phosphorus at rapid rates from low concentrations. Most can satisfy their growth needs at SRP concentrations well below 10 molar, even though maximum uptake...

As in other fields of nanosdence, the application of STM techniques to the study of ultrathin oxide layers has opened up a new era of oxide materials research. New emergent phenomena of structure, stoichiometry, and associated physical and chemical properties have been observed and new oxide phases, hitherto unknown in the form of bulk material, have been deteded in nanolayer form and have been elucidated with the help of the STM. Some of these oxide nanolayers are and will be of paramount interest to the field of advanced catalysis, as active and passive layers in catalytic model studies, on the one hand, and perhaps even as components in real nanocatalytic applications, on the other hand. We have illustrated with the help of prototypical examples the growth and the structural variety of oxide nanolayers on metal surfaces as seen from the perspective of the STM. The selection of the particular oxide systems presented here refleds in part their relevance in catalysis and is also related to our own scientific experience.
