The development of processing strategies in which the interaction between fluid motion and microstructural conformation can be used for (a) the development of microstructured materials with desired macroscopic properties and (b) active control of the flow itself, as in drag reduction and fluidized bed stabilization. 

Facility in a subset of these techniques is essential for the fundamental examination of microstructured materials such as polymers. Note that all of these techniques demand fundamental knowledge of optics and the interaction of radiation with matter that is not routinely dispensed in a chemical engineering education.

Micrometric-scale materials generally display the same physical properties as those in bulk form however, nanometric-scale materials may exhibit physical properties that are distinctively unlike those of bulk. Materials in this size range possess remarkable specific properties deriving from the transition from atoms or molecules to bulk form that takes place in this size range. On the one hand, the interfaces in poly crystalline microstructured materials are considered as defects that influence the macroscopic properties. On the other hand, in poly crystalline nanostructured materials, the interface dominates and the bulk plays a totally different role. Numerous experimental studies have shown that, if a material s particle size is less than the critical size of about 10 nm, its bulk properties change noticeably. A particle of about 10 nm contains 10" -10 atoms, 1-5% of which are on the surface of the particle and contribute substantially to the material s physicochemical properties [30]. Ensembles of such nanostructures will be shown here to be important in electrochemical applications such as electrodes [8,9,12,13,31-38].

Among these various phase separation techniques, pressure-induced phase separation is particularly important since pressure changes can be brought about uniformly and very fast throughout the bulk of a solution. This would not be so in other techniques due to for example heat (in TIPS) and mass transfer (in SIPS) limitations. The technique therefore opens up new opportunities for formation of microstructured materials with potentially more uniform morphologies. It is also important to recognize temperature, solvent, reaction, or field-induced phase separation may all be carried out at elevated pressures if so desired, as such all modes of phase separation methods are of interest when working with near-critical or supercritical fluid systems.

The microstructured materials, such as CNT, CNF, etc. have been receiving attention as supports for various catalysts. The use of these materials in hydroprocessing applications is discussed later. It should be noted that the methods for preparation of the CNF as supports for catalysts was the subject of the detailed review published by Chinthaginjala et a/. " ...
