Types network covalent

Several nonmetallic elements and metalloids have a network covalent structure. The most important of these is carbon, which has two different crystalline forms of the network covalent type. Both graphite and diamond have high melting points, above 3500°C. However, the bonding patterns in the two solids are quite different...

Covalent network solids Atoms such as carbon and silicon, which can form multiple covalent bonds, are able to form covalent network solids. The covalent network structure of quartz, which contains silicon, is shown in Figure 12.20. Carbon forms three types of covalent network solids—diamond, graphite, and buckminsterfuUerene. An element, such as carbon, that exists in different forms at the same state—solid, liquid, or gas—is called an allotrope. For more information about carbon allo-tropes see the Elements Handbook. 

Some beryllium phosphates also crystallise with partly covalent structures analogous to those of known polymorphic varieties of silica. Thus, the orthophosphates MBeP04 (M = K, Rb, Cs) have tridymite-type networks of alternating Be04 and PO4 tetrahedra, with the alkali metal cations situated in the cavities formed in the structure (long-chain beryllium polyphosphates also form silicalike structures (Section 5.4)). 

IPNs A type of polymer blend prepared to modify the properties of NR. They are composed of two or more polymers with at least one being poly-merized/crosslinked in their networks both without and/or with covalent bonds between the chains of the same or different polymer types. They can be categorized into two types non-covalent IPNs and covalent semi-IPNs (Figure 7.1). For the covalent semi-IPNs, the crosslinked covalent bonds occur between the different polymer chains. In addition, non-covalent IPNs can be further categorized into full IPNs and semi-IPNs. Full IPNs are defined as a combination of NR and other polymers in a network in which each is synthesized by polymerization with a crosslinking agent. In semi-IPNs, in contrast, only one type of polymeric component is crosslinked. However, there are no covalent bonds between the chains of the different polymer types, but the chains of the polymer become inserted into the framework of the other polymers. Moreover, pseudo-IPNs are defined as a type of IPN in which one of the...

Veis " describes the collagen-gelatin transition as a stepwise process involving the melting of a trihelical network to an amorphous form, followed by the sequential hydrolysis of various types of covalent bonds.
