This research field will be developed further in the following section since it represents an efficient and powerful tool for the chemist, making compatible different aspects of the chemistry that initially were separated organic chemistry, inorganic and organometallic chemistry can now be unified with solid-state chemistry as well as macromolecular chemistry. Livage and Rouxel have introduced the word chimie douce by contrast to the usual method that required high-temperature processes [11, 12]. In addition, this chimie douce allows a control of the shape of the solid (film, fiber, matrix, monolith) that is important in the perspective of devices. 

Cera.micA.bla.tors, Several types of subliming or melting ceramic ablators have been used or considered for use in dielectric appHcations particularly with quartz or boron nitride [10043-11 -5] fiber reinforcements to form a nonconductive char. Fused siHca is available in both nonporous (optically transparent) and porous (sHp cast) forms. Ford Aerospace manufactures a 3D siHca-fiber-reinforced composite densified with coUoidal siHca (37). The material, designated AS-3DX, demonstrates improved mechanical toughness compared to monolithic ceramics. Other dielectric ceramic composites have been used with performance improvements over monolithic ceramics (see COMPOSITE MATERIALS, CERAMIC MATRIX). 

Scale-up in fixed-bed reactors is limited by the maximum size of the matrix that can be manufactured as a monolith. Hence, this system is appHcable for small- to medium-scale production of antibodies and other proteins, usually for the diagnostic market. This system has been described in greater detail ia the Hterature (22).

Often, the immobilized product has a structural strength sufficient to prevent fracturing over time. Solidification accomplishes the objective by changing a non-solid waste material into a solid, monolithic structure that ideally will not permit liquids to percolate into or leach materials out of the mass. Stabilization, on the other hand, binds the hazardous constituents into an insoluble matrix or changes the hazardous constituent to an insoluble form. Other objectives of solidiflcation/stabilization processes are to improve handling of the waste and pri uce a stable solid (no free liquid) for subsequent use as a construction material or for landfilling. 

The role of the matrix is to protect the filler from corrosive action of the enviroment and to ensure interactions between the fibers by mechanical, physical and chemical effects. The mechanical properties of fiber composites are dependent on the mutual position of the fibers in the monolithic materials.
