The resistance of most plastics to the flow of direct current is very high. Both surface and volume electrical resistivities are important properties for applications of plastics insulating materials. The volume resistivity is the electrical resistance of the material measured in ohms as though the material was a conductor. Insulators will not sustain an indefinitely high voltage as the applied voltage is increased, a point is reached where a drastic decrease in resistance takes place accompanied by a physical breakdown of the insulator. This is known as the dielectric strength, which is the electric potential in volts, which would be necessary to cause the failure of a 1/8-in. thick insulator (Chapter 4, ELEC-TRICAL/ELECTR ONICS PRODUCT).

If we are interested in the nucleation of apeu-ticle prior to completing the solid state reaction, we need to distinguish between surface and volume nucleation of the particle, since these are the major methods of which we can perceive. Several cases are shown in the following diagram. 

Generally, whenever fluids are processed in a confined space, two different types of phenomena are observed surface and volume effects. An example of a surface effect is a heterogeneously catalyzed reaction occurring at the walls of the vessel, whereas the motion of a fluid due to gravitational forces would be described as a volume effect. In brief, it can be stated that the surface effects gain in importance compared with the volume effects when the size of a reactor decreases. In particular, the reduction of length scale leads to a... 

In Table 1.4, the characteristic time-scales for selected operations are listed. The rate constants for surface and volume reactions are denoted by and respectively. Furthermore, the Sherwood number Sh, a dimensionless mass-transfer coefficient and the analogue of the Nusselt number, appears in one of the expressions for the reaction time-scale. The last column highlights the dependence of z p on the channel diameter d. Apparently, the scale dependence of different operations varies from dy f to (d ). Owing to these different dependences, some op-...

As it has been already mentioned in previous section the process of adsorption of gaseous particles on the surface of semiconductor adsorbent is one of the major and in several cases the most important stage controlling the adsorption-induced change in the value of surface charge resulting in alteration of numerous surface and volume electrophysical characteristics of adsorbent.

Characterization of the particle shape is generally described by the deviation from sphericity, as in the case of ellipsoids where the ratio of the two radii is the measure of deviation. The surface and volume are important properties aflected by the overall shape of a particle. A more complicated relationship for particle characterization was described by Heywood, who introduced shape coefficients such as surface and volume coefficients and elongation and flatness ratios [42]. 

One of the aims of the crystallographic studies is to visualize the spatial conditions of non-H-bond type of interactions. Van der Waals forces (dispersion and exchange repulsion) and polarization are representatives of such interactive forces. They are governed by geometric features such as contact surfaces and volumes of the host and guest matrices. 

For powders and granular solids, there are two types of antistatic agents surface- and volume-active additives. Surface-active agents, which increase the surface conductivity of individual particles, are effective because triboelectric charge is always situated on the surfaces of individual particles. Most if not all surface-active agents are hygroscopic and thus attract a thin film of water to the surface it is this moisture that is responsible forthe increased surface conduction (van Drumpt, 1991). The effective bulk resistivity of the particles % -may be estimated by assuming that the particles are spherical and of radius R (Jones, 1995). 

Again, care has to be taken for the non-ideal (or real) behavior of the measurement system. Applications are limited by non-specific absorption of molecules on the surface, mass transfer effects (under conditions of laminar flow a 1-5-pm layer between sensor surface and volume flow is not whirled and has to be passed by passive diffusion) or limited access for the immobilized molecules [158-160].
