The PVC is simply P /Vf and is determined by the volume of filler added to the formulation. The CPVC occurs when the binder particles are close packed and Vv = 0. At the CPVC, there is Just enough binder to coat all of the filler particles and the substrate with at least monomolecular layer of binder, and fill the interstices between particles. 

Thin polymer films may also be investigated by TEM and high resolution images are obtained for e.g. thin films of liquid crystalline polymers [64]. Usually thin microtome cuts from bulk samples are investigated, but also epitaxial growth of polyoxymethylene on NaCl [152], chain folding of polyethylene crystals [153], epitaxial crystallization of polypropylene on polystyrene [154] or monomolecular polystyrene particles [155] are observed. The resolution is, however, in most cases not comparable to STM. 

The frustration effects are implicit in many physical systems, as different as spin glass magnets, adsorbed monomolecular films and liquid crystals [32, 54, 55], In the case of polar mesogens the dipolar frustrations may be modelled by a spin system on a triangular lattice (Fig, 5), The corresponding Hamiltonian consists of a two particle dipolar potential that has competing parallel dipole and antiparallel dipole interactions [321, The system is analyzed in terms of dimers and trimers of dipoles. When the dipolar forces between two of them cancel, the third dipole experiences no overall interaction. It is free to permeate out of the layer, thus frustrating smectic order.

For all reactions, the mass transport regime is controlled by the diffusion of the reacting ligand only, as the mercury electrode serves as an inexhaustible source for mercury ions. Hence, with respect to the mathematical modeling, reactions (2.205) and (2.206) are identical. This also holds true for reactions (2.210) and (2.211). Furthermore, it is assumed that the electrode surface is covered by a sub-monomolecular film without interactions between the deposited particles. For reactions (2.207) and (2.209) the ligand adsorption obeys a linear adsorption isotherm. Assuming semi-infinite diffusion at a planar electrode, the general mathematical model is defined as follows ... 

In the high and ultrahigh vacuum ranges the properties of the vacuum container wall will be of decisive importance since below 10 mbar there will be more gas molecules on the surfaces than in the chamber itself. If one assumes a monomolecular adsorbed layer on the inside wall of an evacuated sphere with 1 I volume, then the ratio of the number of adsorbed particles to the number of free molecules in the space will be as follows ... 

Until the geminate pairs start to mix, i.e., at relatively short times r relative diffusion coefficient, the monomolecular kinetics reads n(t) = n(0)u>(t), with n(0) = nA(0) = ne(0) being initial particle concentration. The distinctive feature of this stage is the linearity of the recombination kinetics n(t) with respect to the irradiation dose n(0). 

In turn, equations (4.1.9) and (4.1.10) yield a general initial condition necessary for an analysis of the transition from the monomolecular to bimolecular kinetics. When the initial particle distribution is unknown (which is usually the case, e.g., after prolonged irradiation), it is assumed, as a rule, to be the simplest, i.e., the Poisson one, equation (4.1.12). 

Monomolecular steps axe, processes which depend only on a single lattice site. Examples for such steps are the creation of a particle (0 —> A), the annihilation (A —> 0) or the particle transformation (A —> B). The prominent feature of these steps is the fact that the neighbourhood of the actual site plays no role here. Therefore these steps can be described by the following equation ... 

If monomolecular decay of the donor particles with the rate constant k is possible along with tunneling decay by the reaction with the acceptor particles, the following expression describes the change of the concentration of the donor particles with time...
