Structure related diffusion properties

In spite of many computational advantages, DPD and SCMF methods are not able accurately to predict physical properties that rely upon time correlation functions (e.g., diffusion), making them less applicable to extract structure-related transport properties of phase-segregated membranes.

Since in previous studies (3,4) we found that the NO conversion is related to the presence of Aliv sites of the zeolitic structure, it is possible to assume that the origin of the deactivation observed is, in part, due to the loss of these sites by dealumination. Together with the loss of active sites, the aluminum extracted from the network could block the channels of the mordenite, thus affecting the adsorption and diffusion properties. 

Its plate-like structure provides talc-filled materials with important properties, such as, high resistivity and low gas permeability. This comes about because the diffusion path is so complicated. Several other unique properties of talc are structure-related, including its lubricating effect, caused by its easy delamination its low abrasiveness, because talc is the softest mineral in the Mohs hardness scale and the hydrophobic properties of its surface. Hydrophobicity can be increased even more by surface coating with zinc stearate. Figure 2.63 shows the plate-like structure of talc. 

In solution these substances scatter light, they exhibit high viscosity and low diffusion rates, and they enter into complex structural relations with the solvent. In some of their physical properties the solutions, although they are true solutions by many criteria, simulate the sols and gels of the more truly heterogeneous systems. Owing their stability, however, to the interactions between their own molecules and the solvent, they are less subject to coagulation and precipitation. In so far as they form solutions they are called lyophilic, in contradistinction to the easily precipitable sols of inherently insoluble substances such as metals or arsenic sulphide in water, which are called lyophobic. 

The transport behavior of IL interface layers on mineral solid surfaces always relates to important applications of wear and lubrication. To further study the transport properties of different IL surface-layers on a graphite surface, we have performed MD simulations for l-butyl-3-methylimidazo-lium based ionic liquids with three different anions to determine the structure and transport properties of solid/liquid interfaces over a wide range of temperature. The temperature dependence of structure is more obvious for [bmim][Cl] compared with [bmimJIPFe] and [bmim][Tf2N]. The surface diffusion behavior of the ionic liquids on the graphite slab was also... 

The important property of ZSM-5 and similar zeolites is the intercrystalline catalyst sites, which allow one type of reactant molecule to diffuse, while denying diffusion to others. This property, which is based on the shape and size of the reactant molecules as well as the pore sizes of the catalyst, is called shape selectivity. Chen and Garwood document investigations regarding the various aspects of ZSM-5 shape selectivity in relation to its intercrystalline and pore structure.
