The term pyrophoric has usually been applied to the ignition of very fine sizes of metal particles. Except for the noble metals, most metals when refined and exposed to air form an oxide coat. Generally this coating thickness is of the order of 25 A. If the oxide coat formed is of greater size than that of the pure metal consumed, then the coat scales and the nascent metal is prone to continuously oxidize. Iron is a case in point and is the reason pure iron rusts.

The wall-coated column in Figure 24-2c features a 0.1- to 5-p.m-thick film of stationary liquid phase on the inner wall of the column. A support-coated column has solid particles coated with stationary liquid phase and attached to the inner wall. In the porous-layer column... 

The most convenient of these methods is viscosity measurement of a liquid in which particles coated with a polymer are dispersed, or measurement of the flow rate of a liquid through a capillary coated with a polymer. Measurement of diffusion coefficients by photon correlation spectroscopy as well as measurement of sedimentation velocity have also been used. Hydrodynamically estimated thicknesses are usually considered to represent the correct thicknesses of the adsorbed polymer layers, but it is worth noting that recent theoretical calculations52, have shown that the hydrodynamic thickness is much greater than the average thickness of loops. 

Fig. 30 Schematic representation - not to scale - of micron-sized colloidal particles coated with DNA strands with interacting sticky ends. Double helices bound to colloids form a 15-nm-thick coating which contributes to particle stability together with polymer brushes. Each helix ends with an 11-based dangling strand, either non-interacting (N) or complementary to the tails on the second type of particle (S, S ). Reproduced with permission from [136]...

Eq. (8) shows the dependency of the critical thickness with mass m, radius rp, and velocity v0 of the inert particles coated with plastic and with the viscosity of the material that coats the sand fi. For the experimental conditions (total mass of sand, 30 g mass of plastic in the feed, 1 g sand particle diameter, between 0.6 and 1.2 mm sand density 2600 kg m-3, average velocity of the particles in the annular zones, 0.25ms-1 [7], the critical thickness predicted by Eq. (8) is 250 p,m. In this calculation, the viscosity of the plastic has been taken at its fusion temperature, 16 poises, because it is in the initial step of fusion when the stickiness of the plastic is maximum point. 

Fig. 4 a, b. TEM micrographs of hollow silica spheres produced by calcining PS particles coated with (a) one and (b) three Si02 nanoparticle/PDADMAC layer pairs at 450°C. The wall thickness of the hollow capsules is approximately three times greater for those shown in (b) compared with those shown in (a), c, d Cross-sections of the hollow silica spheres of the same composition as those shown in (b). The hollow silica spheres retain the spherical shape of the original PS particle templates (see Fig. 3).

Mica particles coated with a metal oxide film have three layers with different refractive indices (layer 1 and 3 are identical, layer 2 is mica) and four interfaces (see chapter 16.2). Interference of light is generated by reflections of all six possible combinations of the four interfaces. Some of them lead to equal effects. The thickness of the mica platelets varies according to a statistical distribution. As a con-...
