The Zagreb topochemical indices [Bajaj, Sambi et al, 2005] are modifications of the original Zagreb indices, which account both for the presence and relative position of heteroatoms in a H -depleted molecular graph. They are calculated from the chemical adjacency matrix based on relative atomic weights as...

Density of the core material can negatively affect some encapsulation processes. For example, increasing differences in shell and core material density for a coextrusion process may result in incomplete encapsulation of the core material, or off-centered cores. Density can also be a concern with emulsion-based processes, as a stable suspension is typically required during the formation of a shell or matrix. Density modification can be used to balance the core and shell systems to improve encapsulation efficiency. 

From Figures 15.13 and 15.14, it has been observed that fiber surface modification also affects the dielectric loss and dissipation factor of resulted UPE matrix-based biocomposites. Furthermore, the mercerized fibers-reinforced polymer composites have been found to have low dielectric loss and dissipation factor followed by raw fibers-reinforced UPE matrix-based composites. It may be due to the incorporation of—COC Hj onto lignocellulosic fibers and partial removal of cellulose chain and surface impurities from fibers surface after surface modification. However, the exact explanation for the above behavior is somewhat difficult as dielectric loss or dissipation factor also depends on fiber orientation [ 16]. Since fibers were inserted in the composite materials in statistical random orientation manner, there may be... 

Zambon and Qielliah (2007) also elaborated a method for the explicit, iteration-free calculation of the QSS concentrations. The method is based on modifications to the original matrix-based methods of Chen (1988) and is implemented in the Matlab coding environment utilising its symbolic programming capabilities. The method was used to develop an 18-step scheme for ethylene/air combustion from a skeletal scheme containing 31 species and 128 reversible elementary reactions, i.e. a similar level of reduction to that achieved by Lu and Law (2006c). 

Since most inorganic particles are not very compatible with polymers, mechanical agitation and ultrasonication are usually applied to facilitate particle dispersion. Particle surface modification and surfactants are also used to increase the compatibility between nanoparticles and the polymer matrix. Based on the original medium where the nanoparticles are dispersed, the manufacturing process for making polymer nanocomposites includes melt... 

S mg), dimer (peak I) and monomer (peak 2), ovalbumin (S mg) (peak 3), and cytochrome c (3 mg) (peak 4) was loaded onto a Fractogel EMD BioSEC column (600 X 16 mm) with a bed height of 600 mm. PBS (pH 7.2) was used as the eluent at a flow rate of I ml/min the sample volume was O.S ml. (B) The same protein sample as in A was injected onto a column of identical dimensions packed with unmodified Fractogel HW 6S. Without the tentacle modification the base matrix displays only a poor resolution of the test mixture. 

However, the chief purpose of introduction of fillers into PCM is to make possible the modification of polymers and thereby create materials with a prescribed set of physico-mechanical properties, and, obviously, the properties of filled materials may be controlled by, for example, varying the type of the base polymer (the matrix ) and filler, its particle size distribution and shape. It may not require a large quantity of filler [7]. Thanks to considerable advances in PCM research, their use in a broad range of industries — machine building, construction, aerospace technology, etc. — has become extensive [8 — 11].
