Structures with Multiple Layers

Crystal Structures Involving Unusual Combinations of P Layers 

The unit cell of N(CH3)4C1 is tetragonal with N(CH3)4 ions at the comers and centers of the top and bottom faces of the cell. Opposite 

C1/H20 positions and two Fe atoms (of the complexes). In the figure, looking down the cQ axis, we are looking down the C3 axis of each octahedral complex. The layer is filled by Fe atoms (one Fe per cell) and a random distribution of Cl atoms and H2O molecules (two Cl one H20) in the edges and two faces. There are three of these CI/H2O sites per cell (2 x 1/2 = 1 in faces and 8 x 1/4 = 2 in edges). The notation for this layer is P1/4 3/4, one-quarter for the Fe atoms and three-quarter for the CI/H2O positions.

Sodium arsenide, Na3As, has a hexagonal crystal structure with two molecules per cell, C%v, P63cm, a0 = 8.7838, and c0 = 8.999A. There are double IP layers occupied by As and Na, followed by two adjacent T layers, each occupied by Na

For the above reasons, processes that involve combinations of heat and pressure are the most widely used. This is normally accomplished by hot-roll pressure devices in which at least one roll is heated with a quartz lamp (Lee, 1975 Prime. 1983 Kuo. 1984 Hiraoka et al.. 1993). Offset of the toner to the fuser roll can be avoided by the use of special oils wicked onto the surface of the roll. Most roller fusing devices use heated rolls coated with silicone or fluorocarbon elastomers. Composite layer structures with multiple layers for improved process lifetime are becoming more common. Figure 17 shows a cross-section of a typical fuser roller and Fig. 18 shows a typical fusing process. For a review of fusing materials, see Gruber et al. (1989). For a discussion of the effects of paper properties on fusing, see Sanders et al. (1996). 

Increasing work in the field of HME and published literature reveals the innovative aspects of this technology. These include, but are not limited to, in situ salt formation, quick dispersing systems with foam like structures, coextrusion to prepare extrudates in the form of laminar structures with multiple layers, nanoparticles released from molecular dispersions manufactured by melt extrusion, and twin-screw melt granulation, which can provide continuous manufacturing of granules yielding consistent product quality attributes. 

On the left (A) is a profile of the human brain, and on the right, a magnified view (B) of a slice through the brain as indicated by the dotted line. The anatomy of the brain consists of two hemispheres, each covered with multiple layers of important cells known as the cerebral cortex. White matter, which consists of wiring —projections from one cell to another—lies beneath the cerebral cortex, along with some groups of cells that perform various functions. The ventricles are cavities through which runs a substance called cerebrospinal fluid, which helps protect and cushion the delicate structures of the nervous system. 

In comparison to the skin, the buccal mucosa offers higher permeability and faster onset of drug delivery, whereas the key features which help it score over the other mucosal route, the nasal delivery system, include robustness, ease of use, and avoidance of drug metabolism and degradation. The buccal mucosa and the skin have similar structures with multiple cell layers at different degrees of maturation. The buccal mucosa, however, lacks the intercellular lamellar bilayer structure found in the stratum corneum, and hence is more permeable. An additional factor contributing to the enhanced permeability is the rich blood supply in the... 

In all the listed structures the CO or NO molecule is believed to adsorb perpendicular to the surface with the oxygen end away from the surface. For CO structures with multiple non-equivalent adsorption sites these are listed on consecutive lines. If the metal layer spacing has been investigated this is listed after the adsorbate information.)...

Multiple melt streams from several extruders are combined either in a feed block (Fig. 12.56) or in a multiple cavity die (Fig. 12.57), resulting in a stratified flow from the die. A feed block may be used with a single cavity die or in conjunction with one cavity of a multiple cavity die to produce structures with many layers. Multiple cavity dies are used for films requiring several layers, which interact... 

Cars are coated with multiple layers of paint in order to weatherproof their exterior and make their appearance attractive. The types of paint used and the structure of paint layers vary with the car model. Since early in the development of FT-IR microspectroscopic systems, the analysis of car paint by using FT-IR microspectroscopy has been performed in forensic scientific investigation of crimes and accidents involving cars as a technique for identifying the car model or manufacturer.
