Catalyst Selection. The low resin viscosity and ambient temperature cure systems developed from peroxides have faciUtated the expansion of polyester resins on a commercial scale, using relatively simple fabrication techniques in open molds at ambient temperatures. The dominant catalyst systems used for ambient fabrication processes are based on metal (redox) promoters used in combination with hydroperoxides and peroxides commonly found in commercial MEKP and related perketones (13). Promoters such as styrene-soluble cobalt octoate undergo controlled reduction—oxidation (redox) reactions with MEKP that generate peroxy free radicals to initiate a controlled cross-linking reaction. 

Polysulfones are easily processible by other thermoplastic fabrication techniques, including extmsion, thermoforming, and blow mol ding. Extmsion... 

Another limitation is related to the fact that synthetic poly(amino acids) have rather unfavorable material properties. For instance, most synthetic poly (amino acids) derived from a single amino acid are insoluble, high-melting materials that cannot be processed into shaped objects by conventional fabrication techniques. The often undesirable tendency to absorb a significant amount of water when exposed to an aqueous environment is another common property of many poly (amino acids) (7). Finally, high molecular weight poly-(amino acids) are best prepared via N-carboxyanhydrides which are expensive to make. Hence poly(amino acids) are comparatively costly polymers, even if they are derived from inexpensive amino acids (8). 

The photodegradation of para-aramid in an 0 atmosphere allows the differentiation between the accelerated experimental photooxidative conditions from its usual daylight exposure effects. This study illustrated an estimation of the rates of photooxidation of a commercial para-aramid product (i.e., DuPont s Kevlar-29 woven fabric) based on the oxygen-18-labelled carbon dioxide ( CC and CC ) decarboxylated from the sample. The oxygen-18-labelled atoms, which are inserted in the macromolecules, were analyzed for the photodegradation processes. This technique also allows the radial l O-distribution measurement from the fiber surface toward the fiber center. 

An important aspect of this enhancement strategy is its compatibility with current fabrication techniques, in particular polymer processing technology. The technique of micro-injection moulding was employed to produce polystyrene chips with an integrated array of cone structures intended for use in an aqueous environment. 

One should note that to realize practical devices based on these materials, in addition to the research described in the preceding, research in processing and fabrication techniques related to the PDA s is necessary. In fact, this is also true for inorganic semiconductor materials. 

In addition to the materials costs associated with a given fabrication technique, the cost of the equipment needed to fabricate the cell and the operating costs of the equipment—electricity, natural gas for firing kilns, etc.—and other process costs of the... 

In the previous section, it was mentioned that Zhang et al. [51,52] developed a technique to micromachine a thin metal film made out of copper. This material had a number of perforations that followed a predetermined pattern and such a design can be changed fairly easily by simply changing one of the masks used in the fabrication process. Although copper is not an ideal material to be used as a DL in a fuel cell due to the contamination issues, the development of fabrication techniques similar to those mentioned... 

A number of fabrication techniques meet the general requirements for constructing an efficient and compact microreactor. Popular methods include LIGA, wet and dry etching processes, micromachining, lamination, and soft lithography. 

Water-soluble sizes permit a recycling of the polymer for further weaving processes. Various techniques have been proposed to regenerate sizes released from the fabric. General requirements that have to be considered as fundamentals for possible reuse of sizes are summarized as the following ...
