Unless hydrogen bonds are present (in which case molecular solids resemble ionic solids in brittleness), molecular solids are generally soft and have low melting points because the bonds between the molecules are easily overcome.
Composition of [C2mim]OAc-treated solids such as low lignin, low acetyl group content and preservation of arabinosyl groups are characteristic of aqueous alkali pretreatments while those of chloride IL-treated solids resemble aqueous acid pretreatments.
Slag, which is a solid residue resembling obsidian, can be cleaned of contaminants, including heavy metals such as mercury and cadmium, and processed into bricks and synthetic gravel.
This is highlighted by the study by Gorensek et al in which elastic cartilage from a rabbit's ear was transplanted into its IVD and shown to form a solid tissue resembling AC, rather than a hydrated-gelatinous tissue like the NP.
Dust like this may have glommed together over millions of years to form comets. Mission planners knew the dust would smash into the collector at about 26 kilometers per second, so they coated a tennis-racket-shaped arm with aerogel, a porous solid that resembles frozen smoke in an ice-cube tray.
Here, we report that after crosslinking, the oxidation of polyethylene can be performed in a controlled manner to provide significant yields of oxidized black solid that resembles its original shape and can be subsequently heated under inert atmosphere to yield a carbonaceous solid in 10 30% carbon yield.
LDHs are solids which resemble the naturally occurring hydrotalcite.
A few seem to define negative space, like portholes, while others resemble solid spheres.
Sephora's entry features solid brights that resemble mini pop-art ice cubes ($4).
As in many of these works, the forms and surfaces seem more fluid than solid; the paintings resemble sea charts demarcating shifting currents and eddies.
