Micrometer, internal

Even smaller pipettes, down to 3nm radius, were used to measure facilitated IT kinetics [8a]. Unlike micrometer-sized pipettes, the size and shape of a nanometer-radius ITIES cannot be evaluated by optical microscopy. Thus, a thorough electrochemical characterization of nanopipettes is required. Another problem is a higher internal resistance, which increases with decreasing radius and can become as high as 100 [8a]. A...

Five types of columns are routinely used in gas chromatography classical packed columns with internal diameters greater than 2 mm containing particles in the range 100 to 250 micrometers micropacked columns having diameters less than 1 mm with a packing density similar to classical packed columns (dp/d less than 0.3, where dp is the particle diameter and d the column diameter) packed capillary lumns have a column diameter less than 0.5 mm and a packing density less than classical packed columns (dp/d 0.2-0.3) SCOT columns (support-coated open... 

Virtually all current research in SFC utilizes either small bore packed columns with particles of 5-10 micrometers in diameter optimized for use in liquid chromatography or narrow bore, fused silica open tubular columns with Immobilized phases similar to those used in gas chromatography. In the latter case columns of saaller internal diameter, 10-100 micrometers, shorter lengths (generally less than 20 m with 1-10 m being the most common length), and more firmly crosslinked stationary phases are used by coaparison with standard columns for gas chromatography. In all... 

We use variants of profile extrusion to produce tubing -with diameters of less then 1 mm and pipes with diameters exceeding 1 m, Wall thicknesses can vary from a few tens of micrometers up to several centimeters. Extruded window and door frames are more complex than pipes. Such profiles are largely hollow with internal ribs and fins that reinforce and divide the interior into two or more channels. We use solid rubber profiles in applications such as door seals and windshield wipers. We can produce foamed extrudates by incorporating a blowing agent, such as butane or carbon dioxide, into the polymer in the molten state. As the polymer exits the die, its internal pressure drops and the dissolved gas expands to form bubbles within the product. Examples of foamed extrudates include pipe insulation and automobile door gaskets. 

Inoue et al. (2003) found that silk proteins will form rodlike structures and that those structure will assemble into comblike or fabric-like superstructure. The scale differences between the rods (nanometers) and the superstructure (micrometers) would suggest that the rod formation is governed by amyloid fibril formation and that the supramolecular arrangement is governed by the properties of the rod (Oroudjev et al., 2002 Putthanarat et al., 2000), namely surface interaction and hydration. Three levels of association could be considered (i) within the proteins internal /1-strands will organize to form intra /1-sheet structures, (ii) /1-sheets from neighboring molecules will associate to form fibril subunits, and (iii) the fibril subunits will further associate to form larger fibrils or rods.
