Microencapsulation is the coating of small solid particles, liquid droplets, or gas bubbles with a thin film of coating or shell material. In this article, the term microcapsule is used to describe particles with diameters between 1 and 1000 p.m. Particles smaller than 1 p.m are called nanoparticles particles greater than 1000 p.m can be called microgranules or macrocapsules. 

In finite boundary conditions the solute molecule is surrounded by a finite layer of explicit solvent. The missing bulk solvent is modeled by some form of boundary potential at the vacuum/solvent interface. A host of such potentials have been proposed, from the simple spherical half-harmonic potential, which models a hydrophobic container [22], to stochastic boundary conditions [23], which surround the finite system with shells of particles obeying simplified dynamics, and finally to the Beglov and Roux spherical solvent boundary potential [24], which approximates the exact potential of mean force due to the bulk solvent by a superposition of physically motivated tenns. 

It is precisely the loosening of a portion of polymer to which the authors of [47] attribute the observed decrease of viscosity when small quantities of filler are added. In their opinion, the filler particles added to the polymer melt tend to form a double shell (the inner one characterized by high density and a looser outer one) around themselves. The viscosity diminishes until so much filler is added that the entire polymer gets involved in the boundary layer. On further increase of filler content, the boundary layers on the new particles will be formed on account of the already loosened regions of the polymeric matrix. Finally, the layers on all particles become dense and the viscosity rises sharply after that the particle with adsorbed polymer will exhibit the usual hydrodynamic drag. 

In the same year, Fulda and Tieke [75] reported on Langmuir films of monodisperse, 0.5-pm spherical polymer particles with hydrophobic polystyrene cores and hydrophilic shells containing polyacrylic acid or polyacrylamide. Measurement of ir-A curves and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to determine the structure of the monolayers. In subsequent work, Fulda et al. [76] studied a variety of particles with different hydrophilic shells for their ability to form Langmuir films. Fulda and Tieke [77] investigated the influence of subphase conditions (pH, ionic strength) on monolayer formation of cationic and anionic particles as well as the structure of films made from bidisperse mixtures of anionic latex particles.

For the characterization of Langmuir films, Fulda and coworkers [75-77] used anionic and cationic core-shell particles prepared by emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization. These particles have several advantages over those used in early publications First, the particles do not contain any stabihzer or emulsifier, which is eventually desorbed upon spreading and disturbs the formation of a particle monolayer at the air-water interface. Second, the preparation is a one-step process leading directly to monodisperse particles 0.2-0.5 jim in diameter. Third, the nature of the shell can be easily varied by using different hydrophilic comonomers. In Table 1, the particles and their characteristic properties are hsted. Most of the studies were carried out using anionic particles with polystyrene as core material and polyacrylic acid in the shell.

Two ways to reduce the diffusion length in TBRs are 1) use of smaller catalyst particles, or 2) use of an egg-shell catalyst. The first remedy, however, will increase pressure drop until it becomes unacceptable, and the second reduces the catalyst load in the reaction zone, making the loads of the TBR and the MR comparable. For instance, the volumetric catalyst load for a bed of 1 mm spherical particles with a 0.1 mm thick layer of active material is 0.27. The corresponding load for a monolithic catalyst made from a commercial cordierite structure (square cells, 400 cpsi, wall thickness 0.15 mm), also with a 0.1 mm thick layer of active material, is 0.25. 

Bimetallic Au/Pd nanoparticles were prepared by ultrasound irradiation of a mixture solution of NaAuCl4-H20/PdCl2 2NaCl-3H20 by which the Au and Pd ions were reduced to the metallic state. The Mossbauer spectra of AuPd-SDS particles, with SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) representing the surfactant of the system, consist of two components, one for the pure Au core and the other for the alloy layer at the interface of Au core and Pd shell [435]. 

Measuring static granular structures by MRI incurs some complications. The majority of NMR/MRI experiments to date use heterogeneous particles, specifically, solid particles with liquid cores. Thus, a close packed array of such particles would not image as close packed but would show gaps because the solid shells would yield weak or no NMR signal. 

Although following similar nuclear reaction schemes, nuclear analytical methods (NAMs) comprise bulk analysing capability (neutron and photon activation analysis, NAA and PAA, respectively), as well as detection power in near-surface regions of solids (ion-beam analysis, IB A). NAMs aiming at the determination of elements are based on the interaction of nuclear particles with atomic nuclei. They are nuclide specific in most cases. As the electronic shell of the atom does not participate in the principal physical process, the chemical bonding status of the element is of no relevance. The general scheme of a nuclear interaction is ... 

Abstract A convenient method to synthesize metal nanoparticles with unique properties is highly desirable for many applications. The sonochemical reduction of metal ions has been found to be useful for synthesizing nanoparticles of desired size range. In addition, bimetallic alloys or particles with core-shell morphology can also be synthesized depending upon the experimental conditions used during the sonochemical preparation process. The photocatalytic efficiency of semiconductor particles can be improved by simultaneous reduction and loading of metal nanoparticles on the surface of semiconductor particles. The current review focuses on the recent developments in the sonochemical synthesis of monometallic and bimetallic metal nanoparticles and metal-loaded semiconductor nanoparticles. 

Harada et al. [62] achieved Pd core-Au shell nanoparticles by a co-reduction method. The difference in the structure was argued to be due to the difference in the reduction potentials of Pd and Au ions. When Au ions were added in the presence of Pd nanoparticles, some Pd° atoms of the nanoparticles were oxidized and reduced Auni ions, the oxidized Pd ions were reduced again by the reductants, such as, alcohols. This process led to the formation of particles with core-shell structure in the co-reduction method. 

In dilute aqueous solutions, copolymers having hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts may form polymeric micelles, i.e. stable particles with a core-shell structure. The association of the hydrophobic parts of the block copoly-...
