Mechanical Research Section

In the remainder of this section, I discuss the significance of these future trends in fluid mechanics and transport phenomena, beginning with the evolution of new theoretical tools and concluding with a more detailed description of future objectives, challenges, and opportunities for fluid mechanics research at the microscale. Some of the latter discussion is drawn from a more comprehensive report, The Mechanics of Fluids with Micro-structure written in 1986 by Professor R. A. Brown (MIT) and myself (with substantial input from the chemical engineering research community) as part of a general NSF-sponsored study of The Future of Fluid Mechanics Research.

In September the first chemists arrived. The laboratories were not finished, there was no heat, and there was insufficient equipment. Yet, there were so many problems awaiting solution that chemists set up their apparatus on improvised benches while carpenters installed hoods and desks, plumbers laid gas and water lines, and electricians wired sockets. Shortly after the research center at American University opened, Manning organized it into eight sections Chemical Research, Physiological Research, Pyrotechnic Research, Chemical Manufacture, Mechanical Research, Submarine Gases, Dirigible and Balloon Gas, and Gas Mask Examination. ...

As mentioned earlier, the contact-mechanics-based experimental studies of interfacial adhesion primarily include (1) direct measurements of surface and interfacial energies of polymers and self-assembled monolayers (2) quantitative studies on the role of interfacial coupling agents in the adhesion of elastomers (3) adhesion of microparticles on surfaces and (4) adhesion of viscoelastic polymer particles. In these studies, a variety of experimental tools have been employed by different researchers. Each one of these tools offers certain advantages over the others. These experimental studies are reviewed in Section 4. 

Although the emphasis in this chapter has been on tbe synthesis and mechanism of formation of simple enamines, brief mention will be made of the addition of amines to activated acetylenes to indicate the interest and activity in this area of substituted enamines. Since such additions tend to be stereospecific, inclusion in this section seems apropos. The addition of amines to acetylenes has been much studied 130), but the assigning of the stereochemistry about the newly formed double bond could not be done unequivocally until the techniques of NMR spectroscopy were well developed. In the research efforts described below, NMR spectroscopy was used to determine isomer content and to follow the progress of some of the reactions. 

Much of the difficulty in demonstrating the mechanism of breakaway in a particular case arises from the thinness of the reaction zone and its location at the metal-oxide interface. Workers must consider (a) whether the oxide is cracked or merely recrystallised (b) whether the oxide now results from direct molecular reaction, or whether a barrier layer remains (c) whether the inception of a side reaction (e.g. 2CO - COj + C)" caused failure or (d) whether a new transport process, chemical transport or volatilisation, has become possible. In developing these mechanisms both arguments and experimental technique require considerable sophistication. As a few examples one may cite the use of density and specific surface-area measurements as routine of porosimetry by a variety of methods of optical microscopy, electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction at reaction temperature of tracer, electric field and stress measurements. Excellent metallographic sectioning is taken for granted in this field of research. 

This section is divided in two parts. In the first one, we review the studies on the transport mechanism in materials used in OFETs, whereby temperature-depen-dent measurements are a very powerful tool. The study of the gate bias dependence has also been used by researchers. In the second part, we present the few analytical models of the organic FETs that have been developed until now.
