Term structure

Tbe term structural foam was originally coined by Union Carbide to describe an injection moulded thermoplastic cellular material with a core of relatively low density and a high-density skin. The term has also been used to describe rigid foams that are load bearing. Today it is commonly taken to imply both of the above requirements, i.e. it should be load bearing and with a core of lower density than the skin. In this section the broader load-bearing definition will be used. Whilst structural foams are frequently made from polymers other than polystyrene, this polymer is strongly associated with such products and it is convenient to deal with the topic here. 

Isomers are substances having the same molecular formula and molecular weight, but differing in physical and chemical properties. Since branched and straight-chain alkanes with the same molecular formula can exist as distinct structures having different geometrical arrangement of the atoms, they are termed structural isomers. One example is C H,j (butane) which has two isomers ... 

Sprayed coatings can be used as a base for painting and it is recommended that a minimum of 0-075 mm of aluminium be used. In practice a combination of 0-1-0-2 mm of aluminium plus paint coatings will give maximum economic durability on long-term structures. 

Polymers used in medicine fall into two main categories those that are sufficiently inert to fulfill a long-term structural function as biomaterials or membranes, and those that are sufficiently hydrolytically unstable to function as bioeradible materials, either in the form of sutures or as absorbable matrices for the controlled release of drugs. For the synthetic organic polymers widely used in biomedicine this often translates to a distinction between polymers that have a completely hydrocarbon backbone and those that have sites in the backbone that are hydrolytically sensitive. Ester, anhydride, amide, or urethane linkages in the backbone usually serve this function.

With water or any other liquid, molecules do not occupy even reasonably fixed locations but have considerably more freedom for movement than in the solid state. What then do we mean by the term structure applied to a liquid ... 

Before considering the details of the structure of liquid water, it is important to define precisely what is meant by the term structure as applied to this liquid. If we start from ice I, in which molecules are vibrating about mean positions in a lattice, and apply heat, the molecules vibrate with greater energy. Gradually they become free to move from their original... 

Although these examples involve completely different forces and mechanisms, they all lead to the same result the formation of structures via the phenomenon of self-organisation. The term structure depends on the distribution of matter we speak of structure when the distribution is not uniform, i.e., when it deviates from the most likely distribution. 

An older term, structural isomers, is recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) to be abandoned. 

The term "structural genomics" is used to describe how the primary sequence of amino acids in a protein relates to the function of that protein. Currently, the core of structural genomics is protein structure determination, primarily by X-ray crystallography, and the design of computer programs to predict protein fold structures for new proteins based on their amino acid sequences and structural principles derived from those proteins whose 3-dimensional structures have been determined. Plant natural product pathways are a unique source of information for the structural biologist in view of the almost endless catalytic diversity encountered in the various pathway enzymes, but based on a finite number of reaction types. Plants are combinatorial chemists par excellence, and understanding the principles that relate enzyme structure to function will open up unlimited possibilities for the... 

In addition to the defects listed above, which may be termed structural defects, there are also electronic defects. The first of these are electrons that are in excess of those required for chemical bonding and that, in certain circumstances, constitute charged defects that can carry current. In addition, current in some materials is carried by particles... 

An exhaustive discussion on the structure of water is beyond the scope of this textbook. The term structure itself, when applied to a liquid state, demands several clarifications that cannot be afforded here. We will therefore refer henceforth only very briefly to models of distortion of the hydrogen bond that, for their simplicity do not require extensive explanations. 

Other families of compounds that also possess the same function. If we have a hint on how these diverse structures give rise to the sensation of musk, we would be in a much better position to find the other families of compounds. In the case of perfume and smell, the objective should perhaps be termed structure-activity relations (SARs), instead of the more lofty title of QSAR. 

Texture and structure are not explicitly defined terms. Structure is usually applied to macroscopic heterogeneity due to macroscopic movement such as flow structure or foliated structure, whereas texture usually refers to microscopic heterogeneity, such as holocrystalline texture, porphyritic texture, and lamellar texture due to exsolution.

Given the molecular formula, we now have to describe how the different atoms are connected to each other. The description of the exact connection of the various atoms is commonly referred to as the structure of the compound. Depending on the number and types of atoms, there may be many different ways to interconnect a given set of atoms which yield different structures. Such related compounds are referred to as isomers. Furthermore, as we will discuss later, there may be several compounds whose atoms are connected in exactly the same order (i.e., they exhibit the same structure), but their spatial arrangement differs. Such compounds are then called stereoisomers. It should be pointed out, however, that, quite often, and particularly in German-speaking areas, the term structure is also used to denote both the connectivity (i.e., the way the atoms are connected to each other) as well as the spatial arrangement of the atoms. The term constitution of a compound is then sometimes introduced to describe solely the connectivity. 

Agglomerates are undispersed clusters of aggregates held together by van der Waals forces or by binders. The term structure is used to describe both the extent and the complexity with which the particles are interconnected in aggregates. Primary measures of structure focus on the internal space within... 

In this section the methods which have been used to gain structural information are briefly summarized. The term structure is used in this context in its broadest sense, including more qualitative observations concerning the skeleton of the bridging atoms. As a general rule, the hydroxo-bridged polynuclear complexes of chromium(III) and cobalt(III) can be isolated as well-defined crystalline salts and it is therefore quite natural that single-crystal X-ray structure analysis has... 

When the catalytic properties of metals are examined, the importance of the non-uniformity of sites depends on the reaction under study. For some reactions, the activity of the metal catalyst depends only on the total number of sites available and these are termed structure-insensitive reactions. For other reactions, classified as structure-sensitive reactions, activity may be much greater on sites associated with a particular crystal face or even with some type of defect structure. The alternative names of facile or demanding have been used to describe structure-insensitive or structure-sensitive reactions, respectively.

Let us emphasize the following as a rule, the literature lacks a strict discrimination between the structures that are formed at the microscopic and macroscopic levels. It is important to understand whether the terms "structure , "ordering and "islands refer to microstructures or macrostructures. Thus, the lattice gas model is aimed at accounting for the formation of microstructures, peculiarities in thermodesorption spectra, etc.
