As on previous occasions, the reader is reminded that no very extensive coverage of the literature is possible in a textbook such as this one and that the emphasis is primarily on principles and their illustration. Several monographs are available for more detailed information (see General References). Useful reviews are on future directions and anunonia synthesis [2], surface analysis [3], surface mechanisms [4], dynamics of surface reactions [5], single-crystal versus actual catalysts [6], oscillatory kinetics [7], fractals [8], surface electrochemistry [9], particle size effects [10], and supported metals [11, 12]. 

Generalized first-order kinetics have been extensively reviewed in relation to teclmical chemical applications [59] and have been discussed in the context of copolymerization [53]. From a theoretical point of view, the general class of coupled kinetic equation (A3.4.138) and equation (A3.4.139) is important, because it allows for a general closed-fomi solution (in matrix fomi) [49]. Important applications include the Pauli master equation for statistical mechanical systems (in particular gas-phase statistical mechanical kinetics) [48] and the investigation of certain simple reaction systems [49, ]. It is the basis of the many-level treatment of... 

Although the field of gas-phase kinetics remains hill of challenges it has reached a certain degree of maturity. Many of the fiindamental concepts of kinetics, in general take a particularly clear and rigorous fonn in gas-phase kinetics. The relation between fiindamental quantum dynamical theory, empirical kinetic treatments, and experimental measurements, for example of combustion processes [72], is most clearly established in gas-phase kmetics. It is the aim of this article to review some of these most basic aspects. Details can be found in the sections on applications as well as in the literature cited. 

As these examples have demonstrated, in particular for fast reactions, chemical kinetics can only be appropriately described if one takes into account dynamic effects, though in practice it may prove extremely difficult to separate and identify different phenomena. It seems that more experiments under systematically controlled variation of solvent enviromnent parameters are needed, in conjunction with numerical simulations that as closely as possible mimic the experimental conditions to improve our understanding of condensed-phase reaction kmetics. The theoretical tools that are available to do so are covered in more depth in other chapters of this encyclopedia and also in comprehensive reviews [6, 118. 119],...

By virtue of their simple stnicture, some properties of continuum models can be solved analytically in a mean field approxunation. The phase behaviour interfacial properties and the wetting properties have been explored. The effect of fluctuations is hrvestigated in Monte Carlo simulations as well as non-equilibrium phenomena (e.g., phase separation kinetics). Extensions of this one-order-parameter model are described in the review by Gompper and Schick [76]. A very interesting feature of tiiese models is that effective quantities of the interface—like the interfacial tension and the bending moduli—can be expressed as a fiinctional of the order parameter profiles across an interface [78]. These quantities can then be used as input for an even more coarse-grained description. 

In tills section we focus on tlie tlieory of stability of charged colloids. In section C2.6.5.1 it is shown how particles can be made to aggregate by adding sufficient electrolyte. The associated aggregation kinetics are discussed in section C2.6.5.2, and tlie stmcture of tlie aggregates in section C2.6.5.3. For more details, see tlie recent reviews [53, 54 and 55], or tlie colloid science textbooks [33, 39].

A micelle-bound substrate will experience a reaction environment different from bulk water, leading to a kinetic medium effect. Hence, micelles are able to catalyse or inhibit organic reactions. Research on micellar catalysis has focused on the kinetics of the organic reactions involved. An overview of the multitude of transformations that have been studied in micellar media is beyond the scope of this chapter. Instead, the reader is referred to an extensive set of review articles and monographs" ... 

Although similar to chemical kinetic methods of analysis, radiochemical methods are best classified as nuclear kinetic methods. In this section we review the kinetics of radioactive decay and examine several quantitative and characterization applications. 

The following source provides a general review of the importance of kinetics in analytical chemistry. 

In this section we review the application of kinetics to several simple chemical reactions, focusing on how the integrated form of the rate law can be used to determine reaction orders. In addition, we consider how rate laws for more complex systems can be determined. 

Concise reviews of pertinent aspects of thermodynamics, kinetics, spectrophotometry, etc. are presented prior to developing applications of these topics to polymers. 

Homogeneous GopolymeriZation. Nearly all acryhc fibers are made from acrylonitrile copolymers containing one or more additional monomers that modify the properties of the fiber. Thus copolymerization kinetics is a key technical area in the acryhc fiber industry. When carried out in a homogeneous solution, the copolymerization of acrylonitrile foUows the normal kinetic rate laws of copolymerization. Comprehensive treatments of this general subject have been pubhshed (35—39). The more specific subject of acrylonitrile copolymerization has been reviewed (40). The general subject of the reactivity of polymer radicals has been treated in depth (41). 

First-order kinetics (ie, n = 1) is frequently assumed and seems adequate to describe the kinetics of most flotation processes. However, highly hydrophobic particles float faster and very fine particles or coarse ones outside the optimal flotation size range (see Fig. 1) take longer to coUect in the froth layer. ExceUent reviews of the subject are available in the Hterature (27). 

Reviews of gas-phase kinetics (59) and ionisation energies (60) have also Hsted some of the advantages SF enjoys ia service as a gaseous dielectric. 

Studies on the kinetics of formation of S2F2Q and reviews of appHcable Hterature have been reported (124—126). Other work has concentrated on the use of cell culture evaluation methods for assessing cytotoxic activity of SF decomposition products (127,128). Several laboratories seek to provide methods for accurately determining S2F2Q in operating electrical units (57). 

More recently, Raman spectroscopy has been used to investigate the vibrational spectroscopy of polymer Hquid crystals (46) (see Liquid crystalline materials), the kinetics of polymerization (47) (see Kinetic measurements), synthetic polymers and mbbers (48), and stress and strain in fibers and composites (49) (see Composite materials). The relationship between Raman spectra and the stmcture of conjugated and conducting polymers has been reviewed (50,51). In addition, a general review of ft-Raman studies of polymers has been pubUshed (52). 

The following mechanisms in corrosion behavior have been affected by implantation and have been reviewed (119) (/) expansion of the passive range of potential, (2) enhancement of resistance to localized breakdown of passive film, (J) formation of amorphous surface alloy to eliminate grain boundaries and stabilize an amorphous passive film, (4) shift open circuit (corrosion) potential into passive range of potential, (5) reduce/eliminate attack at second-phase particles, and (6) inhibit cathodic kinetics.
