Literature search shows that epoxy-based nanocomposites have been prepared by many researchers [34-38]. Becker et al. have prepared nanocomposites based on various high-functionahty epoxies. The mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties were also investigated thoroughly [39 3]. The cure characteristics, effects of various compatibilizers, thermodynamic properties, and preparation methods [16,17,44 9] have also been reported. ENR contains a reactive epoxy group. ENR-organoclay nanocomposites were investigated by Teh et al. [50-52].

The term star-block copolymer is used for a star architecture in which each arm is a diblock. The influence of chain topology on mechanical and morphological properties was investigated for copolymers composed of PS and PB with a constant styrene content of = 0.74 by Michler s group (Fig. 32) [101,102], While hexagonally packed cylinders of PB in a PS matrix were observed in a symmetric PS-fo-PB-fr-PS triblock copolymer, an L phase... 

The underpotential deposition (UPD) of metals on foreign metal substrates is of importance in understanding the first phase of metal electrodeposition and also as a means for preparing electrode surfaces with interesting electronic and morphological properties for electrocatalytic studies. The UPD of metals on polycrystalline substrates exhibit quite complex behavior with multiple peaks in the linear sweep voltammetry curves. This behavior is at least partially due to the presence of various low and high index planes on the polycrystalline surface. The formation of various ordered overlayers on particular single crystal surface planes may also contribute to the complex peak structure in the voltammetry curves.

SnC>2 nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method using ethanol, acetone, tetrahydrofuran (THF) and ether as solvents. X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) have been used to study the crystallographic and morphological properties of synthesized SnC>2 nanoparticles, while their optical properties have been studied by UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy. UV-Vis absorption spectra shows a weak quantum confinement in all the synthesized SnCL samples. The photo-catalytic activity of as-synthesized SnC>2 nanoparticles under UV irradiation has been evaluated using Methylene Blue (MB) dye as a test contaminant in water. The results showed that solvents played a key role to control the morphology and photo-catalytic activity of SnCE nanoparticles.

A concerted effort is needed to increase our understanding of the transfer and uptake of reactive gases in the lung. A program in this field should involve in vitro model studies, animal experiments, and clinical studies. More information is required on the chemical, physical, and morphologic properties of the mucous layer and the kinetics of the reactions of ozone in the mucous and tissue layers. Experimental data on uptake and dosage for ozone and other oxidants are difficult to obtain for the tracheobronchial and pulmonary regions. Such data for animals and humans will be needed to test the present simple transport models, before further refinements are made.

The optimization of the efficiency of these intelligent contrast agents requires a good knowledge of the relationship between proton relaxation, and physical and morphological properties of the particle. 

The nature of bonding is not only dependent on the atomic arrangement, molecular conformation and chemical constitution of the fiber and matrix, but also on the morphological properties of the fiber and the diffusivity of elements in each constituent. It follows therefore that the interface is specific to each fiber-matrix system (Kim and Mai, 1991). Adhesion in general can be attributed to mechanisms including, but not restricted to, adsorption and wetting, electrostatic attraction. 

This chapter gives a comprehensive account of the development and progress of SOLnC and SOAnC on oxidic supports and potential appUcations of the respective materials in catalysis. As an introduction, special emphasis is put on the topology and surface morphology/properties of mesoporous siUca supports and commonly...
