Honeycomb internal structure

Microspheres prepared by spray drying maintain their spherical geometry with a narrow size distribution with a mean diameter of 2-5 pm. Calceti et al. used suspension solvent evaporation, double emulsion-solvent evaporation, and suspension/double emulsion-solvent evaporation for the preparation of insulin-loaded polyphosphazene microspheres [80], These preparation procedures produced spherical microparticles with a porous surface and a honeycomb internal structure (Figure 11.11). 

Carbon also is produced and used in other forms namely, activated carbon, carbon black, and coke, that have many commercial applications. Structurally they are amorphous forms of carbon belonging to the graphites. Activated carbon or activated charcoal has a highly porous honeycomb-like internal structure and adsorbs many gases, vapors, and colloidal solids over its very large internal surface area. Some of its major applications include purification of water and air, air analysis, waste treatment, removal of subur dioxide from stack gases, and decolorization of sugar. 

Tanev et al. have reported the synthesis of mesoporous materials via a route which involves self-assembly between neutral primary amines and neutral inorganic framework precursors.12 The regularity of the pore structure in these materials has been illustrated by lattice images which show a honeycomb like structure. The system of channels of these molecular sieves produces solids with very high internal surface area and pore volume. This fact combined with the possibility of generating active sites within the channels produces a very unique type of acid catalyst. In the case of transition metal substituted M41S, the principal interest lies in their potential as oxidation catalysts, especially Ti and V substituted MCM and HMS type materials, and more recently synthesised large pore materials.13... 

The second level of adhesive assembly in this application is at the structural level. O Figure 48.8 shows a 60 ft long (18m) racing yacht, for which both bicomponent toughened methacrylate and epoxy paste adhesives are used to assemble the internal honeycomb sandwich structures. 

In most materials selection processes, it is virtually impossible to make materials choices independent of the product shape. This includes not only the macroscopic, or bulk, shape of the object such as hammer or pressure relief valve, but also the internal or microscopic shape, such as a honeycomb structure or a continuous-fiber-reinforced composite. Shape is so important because in order to achieve it, the material must be subjected to a specific processing step. In Chapter 7, we saw how even simple objects made from a single-phase metal alloy could be formed by multiple processes such as casting or forging, and how these processing steps can affect the ultimate properties of the material. As illustrated in Figure 8.6, function dictates the choice of... 

Trabecular (cancellous) bone lies between cortical bone surfaces and consists of a network of honeycombed interstices containing haematopoietic elements and bony trabeculae. The trabeculae are predominantly oriented perpendicular to external forces to provide structural support. Trabecular bone continually undergoes remodelling on the internal endosteal surfaces. 

CNTs are cylindrical structures and retain their cylindrical shape when their internal diameters are less than Inm. CNTs flatten to form a honeycomb structure when the... 

The lubricity theory explains the resistance of a polymer to deformation. Stiffness and rigidity are explained as the resistance of intermolecular friction. The plasticizer acts as a lubricant to facilitate movement of macromolecules over each other, thus giving the resin an internal lubricity. The gel theory is applied to predominantly amorphous polymers. It proposes that their rigidity and resistance to flex are due to an internal three-dimensional honeycomb structure or gel. The spatial dimensions of the cell in a brittle resin are small because their centers of attraction are closely spaced and deformation cannot be accommodated by internal movement in the cell-locked mass. Thus, the elasticity limit is low. Conversely, a thermoplastic or thermosetting polymer with widely separated points of attachment between its raacroraolecules is flexible without plasticization. 

In aircraft, aU internal textiles such as seating, internal decor, and blankets require defined levels of flame or fire resistance to internationally recognised standard levels. Higher levels of fire and heat resistant textiles and standards are required in engine insulation (e.g. ceramic fabric structures around combustion chambers), reinforcements for composites (e.g. carbon fibre reinforcanents for major structural elements), ara-mid honeycomb reinforcement for wall and floor structures, and fuselage acoustic and fire/heat insulation.
