Colloidal fine materials can increase the apparent solubility of low solubility contaminants if those contaminants strongly associate with the colloids, and the colloids minimally interact with the stationary macroparticle phase.
Due to the generally high affinity of HOCs to materials with large surface area, nanoparticles may be of critical importance for the subsurface mobility of HOCs.

Introduction Among the materials processing/synthesis routes which can be scaled up to industrial scale typical for producing engineering materials and components, powder metallurgy route may be the only applicable route for producing nanostructured or ultrafine structured products in semi-finished forms (bars, billets, plates, sheets etc.) or near-net shaped component forms.
Severe plastic deformation of bulk materials using processes such as equal channel angular pressing/extrusion (ECAP/ECAE) can give ultrafine structure, but can rarely give nanostructure.
The premature fracture of the specimens during room temperature tensile testing prevented the measurement of the true yield strength of the materials.
Due to the large amount of plastic deformation involved, the further processing of TiAl based alloys produced by HEMM and HIP by forging, extrusion and rolling not only shape the materials to the forms required for the final products, but also improve metallurgical quality of the materials.

Trajectory Planning of Knot-tying Manipulation in Surgery Xiao Jing-jing, Yang Yang and Wang Zhe School of Mechanical Engineering and Automation, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China E-mail:yang_mech@buaa.edu.cn Keywords: knot-tying; trajectory planning; master-slave robot.
Regarding to the novel suture materials, like there are corneal suturing nails on the basis of shape memory alloy[11], there are also self knot-tying sutures[12] made of shape memory polymers, which provide an novel approach in tying a knot in endoscopic surgery under the right stress.
As the experimental setup such as the suture material and knot-tying target are not standard, there still much work to be done in the future.

A major limitation of established degradable implant materials is the fact, that their degradation behavior can not be reliably predicted applying existing experimental methodologies.
Introduction Biodegradable polymers, like aliphatic poly(a-hydroxy esters) have found several application as implant materials over the last decades.
Surgical sutures, fracture and craniomaxillofacial fixations and materials in controlled drug delivery systems are prominent examples [1-5].
In biomaterial-based Regenerative Therapies such as tissue engineering approaches or stimulation of endogenous regeneration degradable polymers can be applied as temporary substitutes for the extracellular matrix (ECM) [6,7].
Here the below described combined knowledge-based approach can be useful, which is composed of two key elements.

Choice of Decorative Materials.
In the curriculum of design, teachers let the Students should grasp the properties of a variety of common decorative materials, and assume a scene and experience it personally.
Teachers should guide students to establish a correct understanding of materials, and different materials’ dominant trait in different types of architectural space.
Tadao Ando loves to use exposed concrete as a decorative materials in his design works, the very famous Church of Light is a typical example.
