In this chapter, a brief overview of small-molecule activation by biological active sites and related small-molecule homogeneous catalysts has been provided. The six primary reactions, outlined in the introduction of this chapter (Section 4.5.1), are all carried out by enzyme active sites with remarkable efficiency and specificity. Importantly, all of the enzymes discussed in the preceding sections utilize readily available base metals in order to activate small molecules. This is a key requirement as we look to the needs and challenges of our energy future, which will require not only efficient catalysts, but also scalable and sustainable catalysts. Here, it is clear that there is a gap between what biology can enable and what has been achieved with small-molecule catalysts. While remarkable transformations have been reported for small-molecule catalysts that use noble metals, the documented examples of... 

This brief summary report describes the state of the art of all types of cellular materials, particularly plastics and elastomers. The report is organized in the form of a handbook and has an Introduction and sections on Types of Foams (Cellular Materials), Methods of Manufacture, Foam Properties, Solvent Cementing and Adhesive Bonding of Foams, Methods of Making Foams Conductive, and Applications. There are two Appendices, one on Standardization Documents (Test Methods, Practices and Specifications) and the other on Definitions. 

After each development stage (Section 4.1) the existing knowledge should be documented and the status of the process evaluated. This involves preparing study reports and is now standard in many enterprises. At this stage it is necessary to answer the question posed in Chapter 1 Introduction as to whether the process is better, cheaper and faster than that of the competitors. 

Introduction This section contains information on who produced the document, under whose authority and for what purpose. The relationship to other documents should also be reported.
