Technology Tends

A number of new processing technologies are being developed to bolster growth in use of engineering and high performance polymers, particularly for automotive applications. These include  

Fusible core technology, which has made rapid progress, with major investment by leading moulders throughout Europe. 

Combination of engineering polymers with injection moulded soft components, including NBR rubber and polyester elastomers.

Over the last four decades, we have witnessed waves of new technologies sweep over the pharmaceutical industry. Sometimes these technologies tended to be oversold at the beginning and turned out to not be a panacea to meet the quota of the number of new chemical entities that each company would like to launch each year. Experience has shown that computer technology so pervasive at one point in time can almost disappear 10 years later. 

Thermal treatment technologies tend to remove oxygenates along with other petroleum contaminants (such as petroleum hydrocarbons) that are more typically treated using this technology. 

While advancements in fuel cell technology tend to grab the headlines, a critical hurdle blocking the road toward a viable "hydrogen economy" is the efficient, cost-effective and clean production of hydrogen. In terms of hydrogen production, there a several caveats to consider ... 

Applications of membrane-based gas separation technology tend to fall into three major categories ... 

Interest in membrane technology tends to increase with crude oil prices. Currently, many manufacturers of products are running at full capacity or expanding their capacity to meet increased demand. This correlation is due to the fact that membrane processes can offer significant energy reductions. 

In general, because of the strong interest in the practical behavior of this class of two-component materials, technology tends to have advanced more rapidly than fundamental understanding. The discussion that follows summarizes our state of knowledge about the preparation and behavior of... 

It is tempting to suggest that polymer processes will gradually evolve toward bulk. Recently, the suspension process for impact polystyrene has been supplanted by the bulk process, and the emulsion process for ABS may similarly be replaced. However, the modern gas-phase process for polyethylene appears to represent an opposite trend. It seems that polymerization technology tends to eliminate solvents and suspending fluids other than the monomers themselves. When the monomer is a solvent for the polymer, bulk processes are preferred. When the monomer is not a solvent, suspension and slurry processes like those for polyethylene and polypropylene are employed. 

Pre-professional. Constmctivist activities and their use of technology tend to mirror those of the adult world and thus give students an unusually accurate view of the professions. 

Overall, the information provided by these sensor technologies tends to... 

This book is a comprehensive and dedicated source of information on clays and related layered materials. Related materials are defined for our purposes as those that share the ability to pillar, i.e., materials in which permanent intracrystalline porosity can be created within the layers. While myriad layered materials exist, they do not all share this pillaring ability (graphite, for example), and therefore are not included in this book. The layered mataials that form the core of this book certainly stand on their own merits in terms of their own particular chemistries, yet their applied technologies tend to be similar, including catalytic applications. 

The Internet includes elements of transforming human practice into codes search engines are good examples. Information searches become an unquestioned routine and the codified process fhrough which information sources are accessed. Technologies tend to be embedded into everyday life resulting often in uncritical considerations of the electronic footprints that the user leaves behind.
