Percolation spontaneous

A characteristic feature of the carbon modifications obtained by the method developed by us is their fractal structure (Fig. 1), which manifests itself by various geometric forms. In the electrochemical cell used by us, the initiation of the benzene dehydrogenation and polycondensation process is associated with the occurrence of short local discharges at the metal electrode surface. Further development of the chain process may take place spontaneously or accompanied with individual discharges of different duration and intensity, or in arc breakdown mode. The conduction channels that appear in the dielectric medium may be due to the formation of various percolation carbon clusters. 

The above described lack of smoothness at y = ya is essential. It refers to the characteristic power law distribution functions of cluster sizes in percolation, indicating that the most frequent number Lx of singly connected bonds is unity. This leads to a spontaneous fast decline of G when y exceeds the value yapp> since all L-N-B-chains with Lx=1 break simultaneously at this amplitude. Experimental results show that a smooth transition of G with varying strain amplitude appears that cannot be described by a power law distribution function or the assumed exponential type of/lfl (y). 

Throughout this and the next sections, we mention a theoretical method recently developed in the author s laboratory [57,83-84] First we derive the approximate expressions of the gel point for real systems, and then the corresponding expression for the percolation model. One will see there that the gel point is a unique point where the three effects, rings, excluded volume effects and dimensions, spontaneously appear and merge. 

The most characteristic aspect of the critical point problem is that the three phenomena, cyclization, excluded volume effects, and dimension, intimately interacting with each other, spontaneously appear at the critical point. At the beginning, it was thought that cyclization would make little contribution to such an important question that has remained unsolved for so long in physical science. The author s early conjecture was wrong. As we have seen in the text, cyclization plays a central role in the location of the critical point. For the percolation model, dimension is almost equivalent to cyclization (Sects. 4 and 5) even excluded volume effects seem to manifest themselves as an element of cyclization (Sects. 6 and 7), while dimensionality is in close conjunction with excluded volume effects (Sect. 7). In real gelations, the three effects are deeply connected with one another. 

An important supplementary tool for performance analysis of PEFC electrodes is the study of the complex impedance, as it provides a tool to monitor changes of electrode function upon variation of its composition. It can help to detect in real time the structural changes due to spontaneous or current-induced repartitioning of the elements of the porous dual percolation network, that could lead to phase segregation and catalyst layer degradation. 

Note that in this experimental set-up, the molar amount of lipids in the vesicle population equals the molar amount of DMPC in the MLs. During the incubation step DMPC and DSTAP, spontaneously percolate between both colloidal particles. However, for thermodynamical reasons, i.e., slow trans-membraneous flip-flop movements, only the outer leaflet of the ML coat and the outer shell of the vesicle membrane are involved in the exchange process (3, 13). As 2/3 of the total lipid contents is present in the outer layer of the vesicles and MLs, an equilibrium will be reached when 1/3 of the lipids has transferred. Thus, if the starting vesicles contain 10% DSTAP, ultimately, 3.33% arrives in the ML population.

We note that bicontinuity results from a particular spontaneous curvature of the surfactant films rather than from a certain solvent volume fraction, which is a secondary factor in determining microstructure. Note that for nonionic surfactants it was shown that the diffusion behavior was determined by temperature and not by solvent composition. For different systems at the same composition, we may have either water droplets, oil droplets, or a bicontinuous structure. An example is given in Fig. 17. Furthermore, one could argue that, to be consistent, all surfactant structures of infinite aggregates (including lamellar and hexagonal) should be described as percolated. 

The core of a micelle is an exclusion region where substances that are incompatible with the solvent can enter spontaneously in a process called solubilization (4,7). Because of solubilization, micelles become swollen atid may attain the size of a small droplet, i.e., 1000 A or 0.1 nn. If the surfk tant concentration increases well above the CMC, many micelles are formed. If another phase is present, c.g., oil if the solvent is water, and provided that the physicochemical formulation is appropriate, the micelles would solubilize large amounts of this phase and become swollen until ih start interacting in a phenomenon called percolation. Such packed swollen micelle structures that could solubilize large amounts of both oil and water have been called microcmul-sions because they were first thought to be extremely small droplet emulsions (8-11). Actually this is a misnomer for at least two reasons. First, a microemulsion is before all a single-phase system, that is thermodynamically stable. Second, many microemulsions cannot be considered as dispersions of very small droplets, but rather as percolated or bicontinuous structures (12) in which there is no internal or external phase, and no possibility of dilution as in normal emulsions.

For particles below some critical size, spontaneous percolation may also occur in the plug flow region thereby resulting in a possible collection of fines near the bed/wall interface (Bridgwater and Ingram, 1971). 

We consider a simple binary system of two particle sizes, each of the same density in the control volume. Since the calculation domain is restricted to the active layer, the fine particles are assumed to be larger than the critical size that causes spontaneous percolation. The situation occurs when the diameter ratio of the small to large particles exceeds the critical value, which, for a closely packed bed, has been given as (Savage, 1988)...

Relying on these data to answer the question of how the microemulsion structure is altered due to freezing is not a simple matter. Percolation is a term frequently used to describe microemuisions as having a bicontinuous structure. However, bicontinuity describes a situation with dynamic equilibrium structure that results from a particular spontaneous curvature of the surfactant films, with a minor contribution of the volume fraction of the specific solvent. Thus, at the same composition, different systems may have either water droplets, oil droplets, or a bicontinuous structure. Percolation , on the other hand, describes...
