Viscosities and specific weights of complexes and the corresponding aqueous phases, with the aim of simulating realistic battery conditions with MEP MEM ratio of 1 1, 3 1 and 6 1 in the electrolyte at 50, 75 and 100% states of charge, were studied in a temperature range between 10 and 50 °C [83], Kinematic viscosities between 5 10 6 and 30 -10 6 m2s of the complex phases were found. MEP-rich ones. 

Figure 7 (a, b, d, and e) shows transmission electron micrographs from Pd-Ag films of comparable weight, prepared and annealed at 400°C, and used once to catalyze the oxidation of ethylene at 240°C (40). The structure of this series of alloy films varied consistently with composition. Silver-rich films (e.g., Fig. 7a, 13% Pd) showed extensive coalescence of the crystallites, while at the other end of the composition range (e.g., Fig. 7e,...

Even though the first report about the synthesis of crystallizable ABC triblock copolymers was published in 1978 for PS-fo-PB-fo-PCL copolymers [114], in that work only a preliminary study of the tensile properties was performed, without considering the crystallizability of the materials. It was only 20 years later, when the preparation of these materials was reconsidered and optimized, that triblock copolymers with relatively narrow molecular weight distributions were obtained [115], a requisite which is indispensable for the generation of well-defined morphologies. To illustrate the complexity and richness of semicrystalline ABC triblock copolymers, PS-fc-PB-fc-PCL triblock copolymers have been chosen. These copolymers have been prepared with a wide composition range (with PCL contents from 11 to 77%) and they have been compared with PS-fc-PCL and PB-fo-PCL diblock copolymers [29,98, 115-118]. 

In industrialised societies, most gallbladder stones are mixed in composition. They contain not only cholesterol but also bile pigments, calcium salts, mucus glycoprotein and often amorphous material. Nonetheless, they are still described as cholesterol-rich although the arbitrary definition for cholesterol-rich stones varies from author to author ranging from >70% to >90% by weight. 

When a combustible substance is mixed with air, the mixture will explode only when it is neither too rich nor too lean. The lower explosion limit (LEL) is the minimum volume percent of the substance in air with flammability, which is separated from the upper explosion limit (UEL) by the explosive concentration range. The tabulations in handbooks are based on experimental data, and sometimes derived from estimation methods based on the elemental composition of the fuel as CmEtxOy. Figure 6.11 shows the LEL for the series of normal paraffins and of 1-alcohols versus the number of carbon atoms. There are two ways to plot the results, which show that, for paraffins, the volume percent shows a steeply declining trend, but the weight percent shows a mildly increasing trend. One may conclude that a smaller volume percent of higher paraffin...
