Structural fundamentals

Structure is the fundamental property of polymorphs. In this section we will deal with the definition of that structure, how it may be best viewed and understood, and how polymorphic structures may be compared. The determination of crystal structure, by 

X-ray methods is the subject of many fine texts (Dunitz 1979 Giacovazzo 1992 Stout and Jensen 1989 Glusker et al. 1994), which should be referred to, if necessary, as background for this section.

Carbon-based nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted a great deal of attention in the fields of chemistry, physics, and materials science and have been extensively studied since their initial discovery in 1991.36 Much of the excitement in this area of research stems from their unique structures, fundamental electronic and physical properties, and potential applications.37 Inspired by these carbon nanotube studies, coordination chemists have undertaken significant efforts toward the construction of tube-like complexes through metal-ligand coordination.38 1 Examples of silver(I) tubular complexes obtained via assembly reactions of predesigned organic ligands with silver salts are described here.42-44... 

Researchers are capable of obtaining detailed information about many topics of scientific interest. For example, chemical kinetics, electron exchange, electrochemical processes, crystalline structure, fundamental quantum theory, catalysis, and polymerization reactions have all been studied with great success. 

While the reactoplasts are hardening in the mold, structural transformations associated with the physico-mechanical properties of the material are taking place. In contrast to thermoplasts, the reactoplasts are not characterizal by a widely varying morphological structure. Fundamental structural elements of polymers with a compact reticular structure are globules [40]. 

In evaluating gel structure, fundamental characteristics such as brittleness, hardness, and elasticity can be quantitatively measured and related to sensory attributes such as chewiness and gumminess. Sherman (56) found sample dimension and cross head speed affect these readings. Gels were not linear In their force-compression behavior. Slow cross head speeds can lead to stress relaxation, so from low compression test rates. It was Impossible to predict how a gel would behave at high compression rates as In the mouth. 

In the past decade, we have experienced tremendous development in science and technology on nanometer scales. Substantial advances in material synthesis and nanofabiication techniques have led to the successful preparation of a wide variety nanoscale materials and structures fundamental studies have broadened and deepened our scientific understanding of nature on nanometer scales phenomena and functionahties that are unique to nanomaterials and nanodevices have introduced numerous potential apphcations, and further driven the extremely broad and diversified studies on material systems at such length scales.

In this context, textiles and fibrous structures are being brought to play an essential role in the efficiency of implantable medical devices. Textiles are already used in many medical devices such as gowns, wound dressings, face masks, stockings, etc. Discontinuity, directionality, and multiscale levels are some of the fibrous structure fundamentals that lead to obvious wearability features and ability to conform to the body with softness and comfort. In an intracoiporeal use, three other resulting key points of these fundamentals are valuable.

The structure input phase allows file builders to create structures to be added to files and searchers to create query structures to be searched against these files. The basic input procedures are essentially the same for query and file structures. Fundamental differences exist only in the level of details that can be expressed.
