Above the melting point, disappearance of microcrystallites destroys the network structure of PVC consequently it behaves like a typical high molecular weight linear amorphous polymer. 

In resists of this class, the imaging layer contains a multifunctional monomer that can form an interconnected network upon polymerization, and a photosensitizer to generate a flux of initiating free radicals. Although not stricdy required for imaging, the composition usually includes a polymeric binder (typically an acrylic copolymer) to modify the layer s physical properties. Figure 7b shows the chemical structures of typical components. 

After engagement the imaging forces are adjusted to 3-4 nN. Using these forces with carefully optimized feedback loop the network structure of xanthan, as well as the molecular scale structure may be unveiled. The resolution is typically limited by the sharpness of the probe tip, but under optimum conditions, the helical secondary structure can be visualized (Fig. 3.47). 

Pore structures of typical polymeric ultrafiltration membranes, produced by so called "phase inversion methods," consist of interconnected, irregular, three-dimensional networks of pores, interstices and voids in their skin layers. 

With a decrease of the substitution degree of dimethylaminomethyl phenols (DAMPs), the density of the network structure of epoxy resins cured by DAMPs increases. Simultaneous improvement of impact, adhesive and cohesive strength, and chemical resistance of coatings in typical aggressive media takes place (Table 6.1). 

By radical copolymerization of poly(A/-isopropylacrylamide-co-N,iV-dime-thylaminoethyl methacrylate) [poly(NIPAM-co-DMAEMA)] macromonomer with the monomers NIPAM and DMAEMA, comb-type cationic hydrogels with poly(NIPAM-co-DMAEMA) backbone networks and grafted poly(NIPAM-co-DMAEMA) side chains can be successfully prepared. Within the comb-type hydrogels the grafted chains have freely mobile ends, which are distinct from typical network structures of normal-type crosslinked hydrogels, as shown in Figure 5.7. The obtained hydrogels show both temperature and pH sensitivity. They all deswell with an increase of temperature and/or pH, and exhibit a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) at about 34 °C and a p a value at about pH 7.3. 

With the modified chemical structure by chitosan, the network structures of both types of modified BC films become denser than those of the typical BC film and the pore sizes of films decrease... 

In some gel systems, chemical or physical cross-linking is made to form network structures of the matrices. Composition and characteristics of typical gel electrolyte systems for suparcapacitors are described in the following paragraphs. 

Chemical reactions in general can be accelerated to go in a forward direction using catalysts which do not participate directly in the reaction. Ihe type of catalyst used depends on the nature of reactants in the reaction and the different materials used are Pd, Pt, Ag, Ni, TiO, ZnO and Fe-Oxides. The inherent catalytic property of these materials can be further enhanced by increasing their specific surface area available for reactions, i.e., by reducing the particle size to nanodimensions. However, agglomeration of the nanoscale materials in their innate state is a serious limitation which reduces the effective surface area available for reaction. The aggregates are easy to recover and recycle. These limitations can be overcome mainly in two separate ways (i) immobilization of the nanoparticles in a porous support or carrier, and (ii) synthesis of the catalytic material as a nanoporous network-like structiu e using different types of templates. Bacterial cellulose has been used extensively as a support material to host the catalytic nanoparticles, while in some cases it has also been used as a template to synthesize catalyst network structure. Some typical studies wherein BC has been used as a support to hold PdCu, Pd, TiO and CdS nanoparticles are discussed first, followed by template structure based composites. 

The sulfonic acid resins are much more active than p-toluenesulfonic acid, a typical homogeneous catalyst, for f-butyl dehydration and the reaction of methanol and isobutene at the sam, ratio of reactant concentrations to the number of acid equivalent. The high activity of the resin is also ascribed to the network structure of the sulfo groups in the resins.
