Multi-component materials

Equation (3.19) is valid for any species X. If, however, a multi-component material emits only atomic SN after attaining sputter equilibrium, X stands for elements and atoms only, and the total sputter yield Yean be written as ... 

The fact that LEIS provides quantitative information on the outer layer composition of multi-component materials makes this technique an extremely powerful tool for the characterization of catalysts. Figure 4.19 shows the LEIS spectrum of an alumina-supported copper catalyst, taken with an incident beam of 3 keV 4He+ ions. Peaks due to Cu, A1 and O and a fluorine impurity are readily recognized. The high intensity between about 40 and 250 eV is due to secondary (sputtered) ions. The fact that this peak starts at about 40 eV indicates that the sample has charged positively. Of course, the energy scale needs to be corrected for this charge shift before kinematic factors Ef/E-, are determined. 

Nondestructive analysis of solid HTSC oxides is based on voltammetric [42,45,62, 534] and chronopotentiometric [62] investigations of specially designed electrodes which contain microquantities of HTSC (paraffined graphite with the oxide powder pressed on the top [43-45] and carbon paste electrodes [34-41]). Analytical details are thoroughly documented for such systems (including HTSCs and other multi-component materials) [535-537]. 

For analysis of multi-component materials with overlapping vibration bands, Beer s Law can still be used because absorbances of components are additive. Combining a and l as a single parameter k, the absorbance of components is expressed.

Phase separation studies Song and co-workers [348] used microthermal analysis to study the phase separation process in a 50 50 (by weight) PS/polyvinylmethylether blend and nitrile rubber. Microthermal analysis will image the composition in the near-surface region or surface region of multi-component materials if the resolution is high enough. 

Many works have been devoted to the deposition of droplets in liquid phase and subsequent solvent evaporation (process A), or to the direct precipitation of precursor compounds in solid phase onto the substrate surface (process B) (see a review in ref. Gurav, 1993). This method generally involves the use of organic or mineral acidic salt precursors, which are deposited on substrates heated at 200-500°C. This is an easy method, which allowed the deposition of a wide variety of multi-component materials in the form of thick films (typically 10-20 jum thickness). For instance, it was proposed for low cost processes able to produce high Tc superconductor coatings for power applications (Jergel, 1996). Primary drawbacks include porous and rough powder-like films of rather poor optical and mechanical quality, as well as low purity of the as-deposited conpounds. Such drawbacks necessitate... 

Polymer composite materials are defined as a multi-component material comprising multiple different phase domains in which at least one type of phase domain is a continuous phase (polymer matrix) and the second is the fillers (fibers, plates, particles,..).

Diesel particulate matter (PM) is a complex multi-phase multi-component material, which is traditionally and conveniently divided into three main fractions a solid fraction mainly comprising carbon particles and ash, a soluble organic fraction where the m ority of the hydrocarbons originating from the lube oil and fuel are concentrated, and sulfate particulates derived from the sulfur content of the fuel. The sizes of particulate matter from diesel engines are characterized by a distribution spread (Fig. 11.1) PMIO (diameter less than 10 pm), fine particles (less than 2.5 pm), ultrafine particles (less than 0.1 pm) and nanoparticles (less than 50 nm). ... 

Multi-bond crystals. The bulk modulus of a multi-component material results from the superposition of that of the individual component. From the definition of bulk modulus, Tian et al. derived... 

Each form of the adhesive has particular benefits in the production environment but by far the biggest use is of the extmdable form. Single-and multi-component materials can be used, but within the high-volume sphere the single-component heat curing systems are the most widely used.
