Small nozzles should be avoided. It is difficult to line a nozzle under three inches IPS and not practical to line one under two inches, IPS. Nozzles should be kept as short as possible to allow proper surface preparation, membrane application and ceramic lining. Recommended maximum lengths are shown in Appen-...

How does the hardness depend on the surface preparation Do ground ceramics (which are important in technical use) exhibit the same hardness as polished samples (often preferred for tests in development procedures) ...

Besides, according to the definition of T, the transmission of transparent ceramics can never be 100 %. It is also necessary to mention that 7 in Eqs. (1.3) and (1.4) is calculated by assuming that the reflection occurs on a theoretically perfect surface. Because theoretically perfect surface is an ideal assumption, real ceramics inevitably have a certain value of roughness. Therefore, technical roughness gives rise to additional loss—another mechanism which decreases the real in-line transmission of products depending on the quality of surface preparation [7]. 

The ion-thinning specimen preparation procedure is the most usual for ceramics observation by TEM, but is time consuming and costly, and can produce stresses, phase transformations or alterations in the multiphase specimens. Heating produced by ion bombardment can lead to such specimen alterations. Even Ar implantation can be possible in some phases in ceramics, as has been observed by Rincon in 1985 (own results not yet published). Otherwise, selective removal of atoms can lead to the formation of an amorphous skin on the surface of ceramic materials, degrading the quality of CBED.

It is always difficult to get durable bonds on many surfaces without surface preparation or chemical pretreatments. The use of primers and a complete portfolio of activators and primers for glass, ceramic, plastics, metals, wood, etc. improves the adhesion. 

Apart from catalyst coatings, incorporated catalysts can be introduced into high surface area ceramic monoliths. Incorporated catalysts are prepared by either incorporating the catalyst into the material before extrusion (see Section 6.2) or by impregnation of a high surface area monolith body with the active species of the catalyst. In this instance, the monolith itself thus forms the catalyst carrier. However, this type of ceramic monolith has lower thermal resistance compared with low surface area monoliths. 

Molten salt synthesis based on the use of salts with low melting point has been reported to be one of the simplest techniques for preparing ceramic materials [57]. Well-faced LNM crystals were synthesized by molten salt technology using stoichiometric amount of LiOH, Ni(OH)2, and y-MnOOH (2 1 3) calcined at 700-1000 °C [57]. Micro-sized LNM crystals in plate and octahedral shapes were synthesized by molten-salt method in LiCl and LiCl-KCl fluxes the main surface facets on the plates were determined to be (112) crystal planes [58]. Recenfly, microscale LNM was synthesized using nanothom stmctured MnOa mixed with Li and Ni precursors [59]. 

In recent years several reviews that collect information about different aspects of the deposition of the catalyst on structured surfaces, both ceramic and metal, have been published [2,11,56-58]. Here we summarize the most relevant factors at this stage of the preparation of catalytic devices, focusing only on the deposition on metallic substrates. 

Most materials can be bonded with the correct selection of adhesive, surface preparation and joint design. Metals, plastics, composites, wood, glass, paper, leather and ceramics are bonded commonly. 

In the case of high operating temperatures where ceramics can be the material of choice, inorganic adhesives must be used and the surface preparation suitable to them is needed.
