Morphological Characterisation

Physicochemical and morphological characterisations demonstated that the pillaring process of the original montmollorinite was effective. Table 1 shows the most salient characterisation results.

Bioaccessibility, and therefore oral bioavailability of soil contaminants, depends on soil type and contaminant (Davis et al., 1997 Gr0n and Anderson, 2003 Hamel et al, 1998 Ruby et al., 1999). PTMs occur in soil as a complex mixture of solid-phase chemical compounds of varying particle size and morphology, characterised by variable metal bioavailability. Mineral phases that form under acidic conditions (e.g. lead sulphate, iron-lead sulphate) will tend to be more stable in the acidic conditions of the stomach and hence less bioaccessible. By contrary, mineral phases...

Physical-mechanical and morphological characterisation shows that in these polymers the presence of filler causes only slight worsening of physical and mechanical properties. In particular the greatest effect of flame retardants has been seen on the thermal conductivity for EG filled foams.

Vibrational spectroscopy is one of the most widely used techniques for the morphological characterisation of high gas and aroma barrier materials used in food packaging. However, because of the highly hydrophobic character of ethylene-vinyl alcohol (EVOH) resins, it is usually LDPE, a high water barrier material that is put in direct contact with the packaged commodity, i.e., multi-layer EVOH-LDPE film [46].

The SFM is usually employed for the characterisation of films and surfaces (e.g. roughness), whereas the morphological characterisation of particles is of minor relevance. Its real strength is the sensitivity to the forces between probe and sample, which allows an evaluation of surface chemistry (e.g. functional groups, hydrophobicity) and the quantification particle interactions, or interactions between particles and surfaces (e.g. adhesion, friction Heim et al. 1999 Butt et al. 2007).

Method B This method differs from Method A in that it is the number of particles of a particular size that is determined and not the weight percent retained on a specific screen. The size of the particles is assessed using optical microscopy and an experimental approach that is based on Test Method ASTM D-3 849 (Test Method for Carbon Black - Morphological Characterisation of Carbon Black using Electron Microscopy).
