The porosity of hydrated cementitious materials varies with many factors, such as cement fineness, w/c, mixing procedure and curing conditions. The present section aims to show typical MIP results for different cement-based materials. Contrary to the previous sections, measurement parameters are kept constant (contact angle 0 = 140°, step mode of pressurisation, constant pressurisation rate, 1 g sample mass) and only the MIP response to different materials is discussed/shown. This section aims to show general trends of MIP results across different sample systems. 

Miniaturisation of various devices and systems has become a popular trend in many areas of modern nanotechnology such as microelectronics, optics, etc. In particular, this is very important in creating chemical or electrochemical sensors where the amount of sample required for the analysis is a critical parameter and must be minimized. In this work we will focus on a micrometric channel flow system. We will call such miniaturised flow cells microfluidic systems , i.e. cells with one or more dimensions being of the order of a few microns. Such microfluidic channels have kinetic and analytical properties which can be finely tuned as a function of the hydrodynamic flow. However, presently, there is no simple and direct method to monitor the corresponding flows in. situ. 

Comparisons of relative rate constants obtained with Mv s of the total polymer and M s of the HMWF for the same samples show similar trends negligible transfer and termination control of molecular weights for the f-BuCl/Et2AlCl/MeCl system in the —40° to —60 °C range and also for the f-BuBr/Et2AlCl/MeCl at —50 °C (Table 7). For the samples prepared with the f-BuCl/Et AlCl system Mayo plots based on Mv s show zero intercept while that based on Mn s of the HMWF shows a small but finite intercept, z., ktr/kp = 1.91 x 10-5 and 2.14 x 10-s at —50° and -60 °C. Similarly, for the samples prepared with the t-BuBr/Et2AlCl system the Mayo plot based on Mn s of HMWF shows zero intercept while the Mayo plot based on Mv s show a very small intercept, ie., ktr/kp = 5.0 x 10-s at —50 °C. The reasons for this small discrepancy are not known. 

In this contribution, in order to illustrate tlie importance of shake-up bands for extended systems, we simulate and compare on correlated grounds the ionization spectra of polyethylene and poly acetylene, the most simplest systems one can consider to represent insulating or semi-conducting polymers. Conclusions for the infinite stereoregular chains are drawn by exU apolation of the trends observed with the first terms of the related n-alkane or acene series, CnH2n+2 and CnHn+2. respectively, with n=2, 4, 6 and 8. Our simulations are also compared to X-ray photoionization spectra (7) recorded on gas phase samples of ethylene, butadiene and hexatriene, which provide a clear experimental manisfestation of the construction of correlation bands (8-12).
