Biological—Biochemical Processes. Fermentation is a biological process in which a water slurry or solution of raw material interacts with microorganisms and is enzymatically converted to other products. Biomass can be subjected to fermentation conditions to form a variety of products. Two of the most common fermentation processes yield methane and ethanol. Biochemical processes include those that occur naturally within the biomass.

In general, in the case of coated materials, interaction with protection currents must be taken into account [106,107] (see Section 5.2.1). In internal protection, the effects of products of electrolysis must be checked [108] (see Chapters 20 and 21).

The surfaces of all materials interact through van der Waals interactions and other interactions. These interfacial forces, which are attractive in most cases, result in the deformation of the solid bodies in contact. In practice, the radius of the contact zone is higher than the radius predicted by the Hertzian theory (Eq. 7). Johnson et al. [6] modified the Hertzian theory to account for the interfacial interactions, and developed a new theory of contact mechanics, widely known as the JKR theory. In the following section, we discuss the details of the JKR theory. The details of the derivation may be obtained elsewhere [6,20,21]. 

The MYD analysis assumes that the atoms do not move as a result of the interaetion potential. The eonsequenees of this assumption have recently been examined by Quesnel and coworkers [50-55], who used molecular dynamic modeling techniques to simulate the adhesion and release of 2-dimensional particles from 2-D substrates. Specifically, both the Quesnel and MYD models assume that the atoms in the different materials interact via a Lennard-Jones potential

The dielectric materials interact with the electrical fields and alter the characteristics of the electrical field. In some cases this is desirable and in others it is deleterious to the operation of the system and must be minimized. This is done by both the selection of the material and the configuration of the dielectric. To see how these concepts are applied, an example is presented of one of the major applications of plastics materials, i.e., to insulate wires, and show how a dielectric is designed to meet the service requirements. The specific requirements on a standard wire are ... 

Multilayered materials owe their properties and behavior to the properties of and the interactions between the components (5). Each of the two or more components contributes its particular property to the total performance of the multilayered material. For example, in Pouch 1, Table II, the aluminum foil provides high oxygen and water vapor permeability resistance, poly (ethylene terephthalate) provides structural strength and stiffness, and the ethylene-butene copolymer provides a heat sealable layer. If the components of the multilayered materials interact then the whole would be something different than the sum of its parts. In other words, the properties of the components of the multilayered materials are not independent of one another but rather are interdependent.

When any materials interact with their environment through solid/gas, solid/liquid, and solid/solid interfaces, the nanometer scale surface created can easily be modified to perform certain functions. The modifications are usually only effective in the few nanometer deep surface layers. This chapter highlights the development of new model nanostructured materials with functionalized interfaces to... 

Adhesive-Coated Material. The addition of an adhesive-coated material [335] to proppants decreases the flowback of the particulates. Such adhesive-coated materials can be inorganic or organic fibers, flakes, and the like. The adhesive-coated material interacts mechanically with the proppant particles to prevent the flowback of particulates to the wellbore. The consolidation of a proppant also may occur via a polyurethane coating, which will slowly polymerize after the fracturing treatment because of a polyaddition process [1856].

After essential revision, and description of wave-material interactions, microwave technology, and equipment (Chapt. 1) the concepts of microwave-assisted organic chemistry in pressurized reactors are described (Chapt. 2). Special emphasis on the possible intervention of a specific (non-purely thermal) microwave effect is discussed in Chapt. 3 and this is followed by up-to-date reviews of microwave-assisted organic... 

After a masterful introduction of the field and its new directions by Michael Sefton of the University of Toronto, Kristi Anseth of the University of Colorado offers a critical analysis of cell-materials interaction problems with emphasis on the nature of cell adhesions, adhesion ligands, and surface chemistry.
