Other Novel Materials

Abstract A review of the thermolytic molecular precursor (TMP) method for the generation of multi-component oxide materials is presented. Various adaptations of the TMP method that allow for the preparation of a wide range of materials are described. Further, the generation of isolated catalytic centers (via grafting techniques) and mesoporous materials (via use of organic templates) is simimarized. The implications for syntheses of new catalysts, catalyst supports, nanoparticles, mesoporous oxides, and other novel materials are discussed. 

In the course of this chapter we will treat a number of other novel materials as well. Solids such as zirconium phosphates also possess layered structures and represent some of the newest materials being explored as heterogeneous catalysts. Although the zirconium phosphates have not yet been as widely studied by NMR as the clays, we review here some of the salient work done so far. This subject promises to be a thriving area of research in the near future.

For a variety of technical reasons the development of aromatic polyamides was much slower in comparison. Commercially introduced in 1961, the aromatic polyamides have expanded the maximum temperature well above 200°C. High-tenacity, high-modulus polyamide fibers (aramid fibers) have provided new levels of properties ideally suited for tire reinforcement. More recently there has been considerable interest in some new aromatic glassy polymers, in thermoplastic polyamide elastomers, and in a variety of other novel materials. 

In contrast to other novel materials or processes, normalisation of testing procedures, characteristics and reqnirements immediately played an important role in the development of hiodegradahle materials. An important reason for this is the fact that a significant benefit attribnted to these materials, namely the biodegradation, cannot, or at best only with a lot of difficulty, be checked by the client himself. For many other materials the customer can easily check a novelty or an improvement compared to an earlier generation product and the need for independent verification is needed mnch less. 

The most effective way to control the spread of bacteria from wound sites is to incorporate antimicrobial agents into wonnd dressings. Over the years many antimicrobial materials have been nsed in wonnd management, including chlorhexidine, honey, hydrogen peroxide, iodine, proflavine, silver, and many other novel materials.

This list is by no means exhaustive. Many other amines have been employed from time to time, and novel materials are occasionally tested under high temperature conditions to control problems specific to critical units, especially in PWR secondary cycles and other power applications. 

This reaction can be generally applied with equal success to other 2,6-dialkylphenols,4 many of which are commercially available. Although the procedure cannot be extended to phenol or o-monosubstituted phenols (aminophenols result6), it represents a facile synthetic method for obtaining a ring system heretofore relatively unavailable. The dihydroazepinones in turn are excellent starting materials for the preparation of other novel heterocyclic systems such as 2,3-dihydro-1 H-azepines,6 2-sub-stituted-3H-azepines,7 and derivatives of 2-azabicydo[3.2.0]hept-6-ene.8... 

Quantitative entrapment of vaccines into small (up to about 200 nm diameter) liposomes in the absence of microfluidization (which can damage DNA and other labile materials when extensive) can be carried out by a novel one-step method (7) as follows SUVs (e.g., cationic) prepared as in section Preparation of Small Unilamellar Vesicles are mixed with sucrose to give a range of sucrose-to-lipid weight/weight ratio of 1.0 to 5.0 and the appropriate amount of plasmid DNA (e.g., 10-500 pg) and/or protein (e.g., up to 1 mg). The mixture is then rapidly frozen and subjected to dehydration by freeze-drying, followed by rehydration as in section Preparation of Vaccine-Containing Dehydration-Rehydration Vesicles. ...
