Structure-making

Since PAN-based carbon fibers tend to be fibrillar in texture, they are unable to develop any extended graphitic structure. Hence, the modulus of a PAN-based fiber is considerably less than the theoretical value (a limit which is nearly achieved by mesophase fibers), as shown in Fig. 9. On the other hand, most commercial PAN-based fibers exhibit higher tensile strengths than mesophase-based fibers. This can be attributed to the fact that the tensile strength of a brittle material is eontrolled by struetural flaws [58]. Their extended graphitic structure makes mesophase fibers more prone to this type of flaw. The impure nature of the pitch preciusor also contributes to their lower strengths. 

The methacrylic backbone structure makes the spherical Toyopearl particles rigid, which in turn allows linear pressure flow curves up to nearly 120 psi (<10 bar), as seen in Fig. 4.45. Toyopearl HW resins are highly resistant to chemical and microbial attack and are stable over a wide pH range (pH 2-12 for operation, and from pH 1 to 13 for routine cleaning and sanitization). Toyopearl HW resins are compatible with solvents such as methanol, ethanol, acetone, isopropanol, -propanol, and chloroform. Toyopearl HW media have been used with harsh denaturants such as guanidine chloride, sodium dodecyl sulfate, and urea with no loss of efficiency or resolution (40). Studies in which Toyopearl HW media were exposed to 50% trifluoroacetic acid at 40°C for 4 weeks revealed no change in the retention of various proteins. Similarly, the repeated exposure of Toyopearl HW-55S to 0.1 N NaOH did not change retention times or efficiencies for marker compounds (41). 

Again, these forms are energetically very similar distortions from the idealized structures make it difficult to specify one or other, and the particular structure actually found must result from the interplay of many factors. [TaFg] , [ReFg] and [Zr(acac)4] are square antiprismatic, whereas [ZrFg] " and [Mo(CN)g] are dodecahedral. The nitrates [Co(N03)4] and Ti(N03)4 may both be regarded as dodecahedral, the former with some distortion. Each nitrate ion is bidentate but the 2... 

Its closed-cell structure makes cellular glass particularly suitable for refrigeration applications on pipes and cold stores. High load-bearing capacity enables it to be used under rooftop car parks. 

Aqueous solutions of non-electrolytes, especially of non-polar solutes, may show the reverse effect and increase the proportions of ice-like components. The non-polar part of organic electrolytes such as soaps and wetting agents may predominate in increasing the ice component. Thus solutes can be divided into two classes structure making and structure breaking, and in some metal-finishing process solutions both types of solute may be added. 

One possible explanation for the above results is that the transition state for the uncatalyzed reaction is either more ionic or has its charges more highly separated than does the transition state for the catalyzed reaction. A consideration of possible transition state structures makes this explanation improbable, since the transition state for the catalyzed reaction would, in fact, be expected to show the greater charge separation, and this would be equally the case for both the transition state for intermediate formation and the transition state for conversion of intermediate to product. 

Consider an absorption band in the infra-red spectrum associated with a vibration where the transition dipole moment n for a typical unit of structure makes an angle p with the electric vector E. The absorption of infra-red radiation A is given by... 

Phosphorus-containing anionics are special surfactants with special properties. The variety of possible molecular structures makes possible a variety of properties and effects as well. 

In this case, the ionic structures make only a small contribution to the resonance hybrid, and we regard the hond as almost purely covalent. Moreover, the two ionic structures have the same energy and make equal contributions to the hybrid so the average charge on each atom is zero. However, in a molecule composed of different elements, such as HC1, the resonance... 

Silicon s atomic structure makes it an extremely important semiconductor. Highly purified silicon, doped with such elements as boron, phosphorus, and arsenic, is the basic material used in computer chips, transistors, sUicon diodes, and various other electronic circuits and electrical-current switching devices. Silicon of lesser purity is used in metallurgy as a reducing agent and as an alloying element in steel, brass, and bronze.

The small intestine has the shape of a convoluted tube and represents the major length of the GIT. The small intestine, comprising the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, has a unique surface structure, making it ideally suited for its primary role of digestion and absorption. The most important structural aspect of the small intestine is the means by which it greatly increases its... 

Raman optical activity is an excellent technique for studying polypeptide and protein structure in aqueous solution since, as mentioned above, their ROA spectra are often dominated by bands originating in the peptide backbone that directly reflect the solution conformation. Furthermore, the special sensitivity of ROA to dynamic aspects of structure makes it a new source of information on order-disorder transitions. 

The geometry of the pore structure makes it impossible to determine accurately the effective length of the diffusion path. Interconnections within the pore structure, the tortuous character of individual pores, and variations in cross-sectional area along the pore length all contribute to the difficulty of the task.
