Sonochemistry is also proving to have important applications with polymeric materials. Substantial work has been accomplished in the sonochemical initiation of polymerisation and in the modification of polymers after synthesis (3,5). The use of sonolysis to create radicals which function as radical initiators has been well explored. Similarly the use of sonochemicaHy prepared radicals and other reactive species to modify the surface properties of polymers is being developed, particularly by G. Price. Other effects of ultrasound on long chain polymers tend to be mechanical cleavage, which produces relatively uniform size distributions of shorter chain lengths. 

Apphcations of ultrasound to electrochemistry have also seen substantial recent progress. Beneficial effects of ultrasound on electroplating and on organic synthetic apphcations of organic electrochemistry (71) have been known for quite some time. More recent studies have focused on the underlying physical theory of enhanced mass transport near electrode surfaces (72,73). Another important appHcation for sonoelectrochemistry has been developed by J. Reisse and co-workers for the electroreductive synthesis of submicrometer powders of transition metals (74). 

The phenomenon of acoustic cavitation results in an enormous concentration of energy. If one considers the energy density in an acoustic field that produces cavitation and that in the coUapsed cavitation bubble, there is an amplification factor of over eleven orders of magnitude. The enormous local temperatures and pressures so created result in phenomena such as sonochemistry and sonoluminescence and provide a unique means for fundamental studies of chemistry and physics under extreme conditions. A diverse set of apphcations of ultrasound to enhancing chemical reactivity has been explored, with important apphcations in mixed-phase synthesis, materials chemistry, and biomedical uses. 

The first improvement of the Bucherer-Bergs reaction was the Bucherer-Lieb variation using the diluted alcoholic solution as described at the end of section 7.2.2. The Bucherer-Lieb variation is possibly the most popular process for synthesizing hydantoins. Another notable variation is the Henze modification using fusing acetamide as the solvent in place of water, benzene or 50% alcohol. Recently, ultrasound-promoted hydantoin synthesis has been reported to accelerate the reaction.

Many reactions have been shown to benefit from irradiation with ultrasound (ref. 19). We therefore decided to investigate the effect of ultrasound, different catalysts and the presence of solids on Ullmann diaryl ether synthesis. Indeed, sonication of mixtures of a phenol and a bromoaromatic compound, in the absence of solvent and presence of copper (I) iodide as catalyst and potassium carbonate as base, produces good yields of diaryl ethers at relatively low temperatures (Fig. 10) (ref 20).

Abstract In the last decade, the sonoelectrochemical synthesis of inorganic materials has experienced an important development motivated by the emerging interest in the nanostructures production. However, other traditional sonoelectrochemical synthesis such as gas production, metal deposits and metallic oxide films have also been improved with the simultaneous application of both electric and ultrasound fields. In this chapter, a summary of the fundamental basis, experimental set-up and different applications found in literature are reported, giving the reader a general approach to this branch of Applied Sonoelectrochemistry. 

Because ultrasound can be an efficient driving force in the synthesis of metal nanoparticles [86], it is important to point out the specific effects of the combination [87] (in contrast to the use of both techniques alone) but the intensity of the effects depends on the experimental set up used ... 

By using other templates, the size of metal nanoparticles can be also controlled. Chen et al. reported the sonochemical reduction of Au(III), Ag(I) and Pd(II) and synthesis of Au, Ag and Pd nanoparticles loaded within mesoporous silica [48,49]. Zhu et al. also reported the sonochemical reduction of Mn04 to Mn02 and synthesis of Mn02 nanoparticles inside the pore channels of ordered mesoporous cabon [50]. Taking into account these reports, the rigid pore of inorganic materials can be used as a template for the size controlled metal nanoparticle synthesis even in the presence of ultrasound.
