Table 3.4 summarises the main characteristics of a variety of sample preparation modes for in-polymer additive analysis. Table 3.5 is a short literature evaluation of various extraction techniques. Majors [91] has recently reviewed the changing role of extraction in preparation of solid samples. Vandenburg and Clifford [4] and others [6,91-95] have reviewed several sample preparation techniques, including polymer dissolution, LSE and SEE, microwave dissolution, ultra-sonication and accelerated solvent extraction. 

Adsorption on Kaolinite. For kaolinite, the polymer adsorption density is strongly dependent on the solid/liquid ratio, S/L, of the clay suspension. As S/L increases, adsorption decreases. This S/L dependence cannot be due totally to autocoagulation of the clay particles since this dependence is observed even in the absence of Ca2+ at pH 7 and at low ionic strength where auto-coagulation as measured by the Bingham yield stress is relatively weak (21). Furthermore, complete dispersion of the particles in solvent by ultra-sonication before addition of...

Ultrasonic machining, also known as ultrasonic impact grinding, uses ultra-sonically induced vibration delivered to a tool to create accurate cavities and channels of many shapes [146]. It can be used to form deep cavities as small as 250 pm in diameter (with an accuracy of 50 pm) in both hard and brittle materials such as glass, quartz, polymers, ceramics and metals. This technique may be useful for fabrication of large masters. 

Electron Microscopy. Several samples were examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in a Philips 430T operating at 300 kV. Samples were prepared by ultra-sonically dispersing the calcined zeolite in ethanol, and collecting the dispersed zeolite crystallites on a standard 200 mesh 3mm Cu grid covered with a thin (-20 nm) amorphous carbon film. 

The phenomenon sound comes about by periodic pressure waves, which are called acoustic or sonic waves. The term acoustic is sometimes reserved for vibrations that are in the audible range of frequencies, nominally from 20 to 20,000 Flz. Fligher frequencies are referred to as ultra-sonic and lower frequencies as infra-sonic. In the physics of sound and acoustics they play a similar role as the electromagnetic waves in the field of light and optics. Acoustics were unified with mechanics during the development of theoretical mechanics, in the same way as optics were unified with electromagnetism by the famous theory of Maxwell in the nineteenth century.

In order to prepare liposomes, the lipid preparation is dried at low temperature under an inert gas atmosphere (protect the lipid from oxidation). The lipid film is swollen with water or buffered aqueous solution and several freeze-thaw cycles are carried out to get optimal rehydration of the lipid. The rehydrated lipid preparation is filtered using membrane filters with defined pore size. After repeated filtration steps (extrusion) an unilamellar liposome preparation with a defined size distribution is obtained. Large unilamellar vesicles (LUV) are produced in this way. LUV s are about 100 nm in size the thickness of the lipid bilayer is about 4 nm. Even smaller liposomes can be derived from sonication (sonication probe or ultra-sonication bath). Separation of the prepared liposomes... 

Many studies have used these methods for processing of both thermosetting and thermoplastic polymers. Y. Liao (53) dissolved epoxy in a well-dispersed, ultra-sonicated CNT suspension. The solvent was evaporated, and the epoxy was subsequently cured to form a nanocomposite in which the good CNT dispersion was achieved. Jin et al. (54) produced various types of polymer-coated and polymer-grafted MWNT solutions, in some cases evaporating the solvent and subsequently melt-mixing with another polymer. Yudasaka et al. (55) used a mixture of SWNTs and PMMA in monochlorobenzene (MCB) for dispersion, purification and subsequent spin-casting of the material. 

Ten milligrams of the Step 3 product were dissolved in 1 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide and then removed by freeze-drying. Thereafter 1 ml of 10% sucrose was added to the hydrate, and the freeze-dried solids were re-dissolved to form a suspension. After ultra-sonicating for 10 minutes, polymer nanoparticles were formed. 

MWNTs (40 mg) were added to a mixture of 60 ml of H2SO4 and 20 ml of HNO3 and then reacted for 24 hours at 50°C with ultra-sonication at about 30 kHz. The strongly acidic reaction solution was diluted with water to a pH of roughly 7, filtered through of 0.5 to 1-pm filter paper, dried at 80°C for 6 hours, and the product was isolated.
