Like other ceramic materials, it possesses good high temperature mechanical properties and oxidation resistance [4].

For instance, the nature and extent of crosslinking in hydrogels may have a significant effect on their swelling capacity, mechanical properties and ability to degrade, which are all features of importance in various applications.
Due to their large range of properties and to the possibilities to manipulate them, the hydrogels have a prominent position as biomaterials.
Based on extensive studies on the excretion of uncrosslinked poly(1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidinone) (PVP), comprehensively reviewed by Robinson et al. [45], it appears that for a synthetic polymer with a C−C backbone administered to the body by injection or implantation, MW is a governing factor in its clearance by renal excretion.
We believe that solubility in water of the residual polymer fragments remaining after the cleavage of the crosslinks is a factor that may facilitate their elimination through renal pathways.
Similar kinetic curve profiles obtained by FT-NIR spectroscopy for the polymerization of HEMA with and without PEGDMA suggested that the addition of a small amount of the crosslinking agent has not affected the rate of RAFT polymerization of HEMA.

An external electric field can affect only the positrons that are outside the blob, Fig. 3.
All these factors indicate that the Ore mechanism is ineffective in condensed media [15].
Capture of the hydrated electrons by NO−3 ions (which definitely takes place in the e+ blob) does not affect at all the qf-Ps formation probability [25].
The growth of the Ps bubble is driven by the quantum mechanical pressure exerted by the e+e− pair inside the bubble.
HB = −ˆµ ˆB = e mcB(ˆsze − ˆszp). (40)Here ˆµ is the operator of the magnetic moment of the pair, and the spin operators ˆsze and ˆszp (in essence, they are just the Pauli matrices) have the following obvious properties (for the positron and electron, respectively): ˆsz| ↑i = ¯h 2| ↑i, ˆsz| ↓i = −¯h 2| ↓i, ˆsz = ¯h 2 �1 0 0 −1 � , | ↑i = �1 0 � , | ↓i = �0 1 � . (41) The arrows | ↑i and | ↓i mean that the spin of the particle (electron or positron) is directed either up (ms = 1 2), or down (ms = −12).

The properties of a solid are essentially controlled by related surface/interface energies.
The so-called computation materials science considers the interface properties from three different size scales [2]: 1.
Indeed in many cases, experimental data on nanoparticle properties are rather scanty and contradictory.
Semiempirical predictions based on the correlation between the surface and bulk thermodynamic properties are always active [194,195,196,197].

However, power generation from clean energy sources (RESs) such as wind energy has been affected by environmental and geographical factors, resulting in a mismatch between supply and demand [4].
As a consequence, the amount of energy converted by the cells is influenced by temperature, material properties, and solar radiation.
Similarly, the mathematical equations that model the kinetic energy generated by the dynamic system, the corresponding mechanical torque and wind turbine power, the turbine power coefficient of the wind turbine system used in this paper are taken from our previous work in refs [32, 33].

The energy profile sold to the external grid, and the lifespan of the battery is directly affected by the irradiance oscillation, which is caused by the cloudy weather.

Ee = ∫ Ω ψe (ε, s) dV . (8) The constitutive behaviour is determined by the definition of the strain energy density ψe (ε, s) = ψe− (ε) + g(s)ψe+ (ε) . (9) The strain energy density is decomposed in a crack driving, strain part ψe+ that is affected by the degradation function g(s) and a part that is associated with compressive strain states ψe−.
The compressive strain energy is not affected by g(s) which models the impenetrability of cracks during crack closure, i.e. no degradation of the 'compressive' stress see (17).
The stress is σ = ∂ψe ∂ε = ∂ψe− ∂ε + g(s)∂ψe+ ∂ε . (17) The wave speed of dilatational waves in the considered elastic medium is cd = √λ + 2µ ρ . (18) The total kinetic energy of the body is assumed not to be affected by the phase field, i.e K( ˙u) = ∫ Ω 1 2ρ ˙u · ˙u dV . (19) The work of external forces acting on the boundary ∂Ω reads P = ∫ ∂Ωt t∗ · u dA. (20) Finally, the dynamic fracture problem can be stated using Hamilton's principle δ t2∫ t1 L dt = 0, (21) for arbitrary times t1 < t2, where the Lagrangian is given by L = K − (Ee + Es − P). (22) For the problem at hand, the Euler-Lagrange equations following from (21) are the equation of motion ρ¨u − divσ = 0, (23) Applied Mechanics and Materials Vol. 869 103and the phase field equation g'(s)ψ+e − Gc [ 2ϵ∆s + 1 − s 2ϵ ] = 0 (24) as well as the Neumann boundary conditions for the displacement σn = t∗ on ∂Ωt (25) and for the phase field ∇s · n = 0 on ∂Ω. (26) In (24) it becomes apparent, that the property

The efficient photocatalytic H2 production has been majorly relies on the properties of the photocatalyst used for the reaction.
Nevertheless it is apparently reveals that H2 production efficiency is relying on the properties of semiconductor TiO2 photocatalyst.

The reactive diffusion process is followed to grow tungsten disilicides for the use as integrated circuits due to their beneficial properties of low electrical resistivity and good thermal stability.
Other than the importance of understanding the diffusion-controlled growth process, the estimation of the diffusion coefficients is important to understanding many physical and mechanical properties of materials.
Bulk diffusion couple experiments are important for an extensive analysis of the diffusion process without the influence of other factors.
On the other hand, the growth kinetics is affected when it grows along with other phases.
Study on diffusion is important for developing indepth understanding of many properties.
