Olefins or alkenes are defined as unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons. Ethylene and propylene are the main monomers for polyolefin foams, but dienes such as polyisoprene should also be included. The copolymers of ethylene and propylene (PP) will be included, but not polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is usually treated as a separate polymer class. The majority of these foams have densities <100 kg m, and their microstructure consists of closed, polygonal cells with thin faces (Figure la). The review will not consider structural foam injection mouldings of PP, which have solid skins and cores of density in the range 400 to 700 kg m, and have distinct production methods and properties (456). The microstructure of these foams consists of isolated gas bubbles, often elongated by the flow of thermoplastic. However, elastomeric and microcellular foams of relative density in the range 0.3 to 0.5, which also have isolated spherical bubbles (Figure lb), will be included. The relative density of a foam is defined as the foam density divided by the polymer density. It is the inverse of the expansion ratio . 

In Table II, the product yields of REY-PILC are compared with PILC, a commercial equilibrium catalyst, and with the same commercial catalyst that had been deactivated in the laboratory to near constant conversion. The addition of REY to PILC maintained activity in the presence of steam while coke yield was reduced and the LCO/HCO ratio was slightly higher than for either of the commercial catalysts. This suggests that the microstructure of the PILC after pretreatment D will still convert large molecules into gasoline range products instead of generating coke as seen in PILC alone. 

The molecular weights of the produced polymers are quite small, ranging from 4,000 g/mol to 7,000 g/mol. The products feature an atactic microstructure, which is not desired for industrial purposes. Many other catalytic systems were investigated, such as Zn[Co(CO)4]2 and Hg[Co(CO)4]2 [62], Small improvements were achieved by using Ph3SiCo(CO)4 as catalyst-precursor since this compound is able to... 

In this regard, PHB is a very interesting polymer since its mechanical properties vary over a range comparable to that of i-PP or PET. A change in PHB microstructure would allow synthesis of tailor-made products for certain applications. This advantage, however, has some drawbacks in the commercial market. This... 

Polymer materials can easily be prepared from HIPEs if one or the other (or both) phases of the emulsion contain monomeric species. This process yields a range of products with widely differing properties. Additionally, as the concentrated emulsion acts as a scaffold or template, the microstructure of the resultant material is determined by the emulsion structure immediately prior to polymerisation. 

On the strength of all the examples presented in this chapter, the reader should be convinced that variations in self-assembly of food biopolymers in aqueous media can have an enormous influence on food colloid stability, rheology and microstructure. It therefore seems reasonable to infer that further study and understanding of the molecular mechanisms of self-assembly and interactions of biopolymers in aqueous solution should provide increased opportunities for the creation of new classes of structured soft materials with potential application for incorporation in a wide range of new food and pharmaceutical products. 

Allen reported TEM observations of a nonaligned decomposition products in long-range ordered Fe-Al alloy [22]. Such morphologies are called isotropic spinodal microstructures. Similar structures are observed in Al-Zn and Fe-Cr alloys. Such structures can be produced in systems that are elastically isotropic or in which the lattice constant does not change appreciably with composition. 

The objective of this work was to study the reaction conditions and microstructural properties of the products obtained in the Ti-N and Ti-C-N systems when combustion is carried out under a nitrogen pressure range 0.1-1.4 MPa. 

Interpretable Laser Raman and Laser mass spectra have been obtained from certain other microstructures ( Ramsaysphaera ) (Fig. 32). The Laser mass spectra are characterized by CN and CNO ions (Fig. 33). Raman lines (Fig. 32) appear at 1360, 1600, 2720, 2960 cm-1 within the organic range of the spectrum. The strong line at 1360 cm-1 may be atrributed to a symmetric N—O vibration of the N02 group, the weaker line at 1600 cm-1 is characteristic of aromatic double bonds C = C. The first overtone of the 1360 cm-1 line is observed at 2720 cm-1. The spectrum has the features of a resonant Raman spectrum. It is very often obtained with this type of product in which a large delocalisation of electrons is possible. 

Micro mixer elements, micro mixers and micro structured mixers typically have flows in the ml h-1, 11 h-1 and 1000 1 tf1 ranges, respectively, thus covering the whole flow range up to the conventional static mixers and being amenable to analysis and chemical production as well (see Figure 1.4). When used at the upper flow limit, microstructured mixers can act as process-intensification (PI) equipment.
