The method has severe limitations for systems where gradients on near-atomic scale are important (as in the protein folding process or in bilayer membranes that contain only two molecules in a separated phase), but is extremely powerful for (co)polymer mixtures and solutions [147, 148, 149]. As an example Fig. 6 gives a snapshot in the process of self-organisation of a polypropylene oxide-ethylene oxide copolymer PL64 in aqueous solution on its way from a completely homogeneous initial distribution to a hexagonal structure. 

The beam from a laser can inflict damage on various parts of the human body. In addition, there are other ha2ards associated with the use of lasers. Therefore, a weU-conceived and well-organised safety program is required for the use of lasers, particularly those of high power. 

The organisational structure of the energy efficiency community and the related research and innovation system obviously have to be much improved when compared to energy supply communities - whether thermal power plants, renewables,... 

These examples demonstrate that pubhc interest groups (i.e. trade unions, consumer protection and enviromnental protection organisations) can use their power to create scandals and influence companies directly, as well as affecting state regulations.
