Sentence examples for the former material from inspiring English sources
Tests were also performed at temperatures between 20 and 140°C for the former material.
The enhanced catalytic activity of the former material can be ascribed to its higher basicity, specific surface area, pore volume and pore size.
The higher stiffness of P. ostreatus compared to G. lucidum fibrous films can be explained by considering the ATR-FTIR analysis results, which shows higher polysaccharides' content in the former material.
She's currently preparing for her "Sticky and Sweet" tour, where diehard fans will pay up to $350 to see the former Material Girl perform, clad for part of the time in what the designer overseeing her look described as "Gangster Pimp -inspired fashion.
Since the salt-rock-type Nb C slab is thicker in Nb4AlC3 than that in Nb2AlC, the former material shows higher elastic stiffness than the latter one; at the same time, Nb4AlC3 may display quasi-ductility, which has been well documented for MAX ceramics.
In contrast to the well-analyzed size effects in many other micro-structured materials, e.g. granular materials, porous materials or foams (see e.g. [Int. J. Mech. Sci. 43 (2001) 701 713] or [Proc. R. Soc. London A 458 (2002) 2869 2883]), the macroscopic behavior of the former material differs completely from an experimental point of view.

The former materials were obtained by applying the sol gel technology, in which the inorganic silica particles act as physical crosslinks for the organic polymer chains, leading to a semi-interpenetrating polymer network structure.
In fact, the former materials have already oxidized copper phases and the surface chemistry is thus markedly distinct from the Cu NWs.
It was shown that the effect of O2 impurities is negligible for the two former materials while significant in the case of Mo.
