Soft networks

This short review deals with supramolecular intercalates. Supramolecular intercalates is a term open to considerable breadth of definition. Within the scope of this article, the author chose to focus on two-dimensional solids, based upon weak interactions, that demonstrate intercalation ability. An emphasis is placed on frameworks that demonstrate flexibility of structure and the benefits of such compounds. This short review is not meant to be comprehensive, as many systems that may fall under the broad umbrella of "supramolecular intercalates" were reviewed elsewhere. " This review is meant simply as an overview of some examples in this topical field that readily illustrate the potential of soft networks. 

The exit of soft network core from the macropore at 6-8% deformations (Payne s effect). 

Pores contained in solid samples can be classified into closed and open pores. The meaning of closed and open depends on the size of pores into which a probe fluid (gas or liquid) can diffuse. In any case, when the probe fluid cannot penetrate into certain spaces, they are denoted as closed pores. Materials such as foamed metals or polymers have a considerable amount of isolated voids, individually surrounded by a dense matrix. Most of their porosities are denoted as closed pores. Gels prepared from a relatively soft network tend to retain molecular scale pores. They are open pores in nature, but virtually... 

The multiloop controller contains a variety of func tion blocks (for example, PID, totalizer, lead/lag compensator, ratio control, alarm, sequencer, and Boolean) that can be soft-wired together to form complex control strategies. The multiloop controller, as part of a DCS, communicates with other controllers and man/machine interface (MMI) devices also on the DCS network.

Fig. 10.6 Drawings of students about their ideas of hard and soft polymer materials. Left, a student (7th grade) argues with the closeness of the arrangement of particles. On the right a student from 12th grade. The difference is caused in the closeness of the covalent network...

The morphology of the agglomerates has been problematic, although some forms of network-like structures have been assumed on the basis of percolation behavior of conductivity and some mechanical properties, e.g., the Payne effect. These network stmctures are assumed to be determining the electrical and mechanical properties of the carbon-black-filled vulcanizates. In tire industries also, it plays an important role for the macroscopic properties of soft nano-composites, e.g., tear. 

For a consideration of filler-network breakdown at increasing strain, the failure properties of filler-filler bonds and filler clusters have to be evaluated in dependence of cluster size. This allows for a micromechanical description of tender but fragile filler clusters in the stress field of a strained mbber matrix. A schematic view of the mechanical equivalence between a CCA-filler cluster and a series of soft and hard springs is presented in Figure 22.9. The two springs with force constants...
