Property, modified concept

An apparatus for testing enamel with acid and alkaline liquids (and their vapours) was later proposed in an attempt to standardise corrosion ratings on an international basis. After surveying enamel properties and their relationship with resistance to liquids of different pH values, the concept of modifying the resistance by including specific elements in the glass structure has been outlined. ... 

Some other ways of controlling the formation of chemical clusters can be developed and the existing clusters can be chemically modified in situ. The concept of hard clusters makes it possible to explain dependences of various properties, such as Tg or ultimate mechanical properties on composition and the extent of reaction [36, 37]. 

Section I reviews the new concepts and applications of nanotechnology for catalysis. Chapter 1 provides an overview on how nanotechnology impacts catalyst preparation with more control of active sites, phases, and environment of actives sites. The values of catalysis in advancing development of nanotechnology where catalysts are used to facilitate the production of carbon nanotubes, and catalytic reactions to provide the driving force for motions in nano-machines are also reviewed. Chapter 2 investigates the role of oxide support materials in modifying the electronic stmcture at the surface of a metal, and discusses how metal surface structure and properties influence the reactivity at molecular level. Chapter 3 describes a nanomotor driven by catalysis of chemical reactions.
