Glossary of Terms Used in Photocatalysis and Radiocatalysis
This glossary of terms covers phenomena considered under the very wide terms “photocatalysis” and ”radiocatalysis” or ”radiation catalysis.” A clear distinction is made between phenomena related to either photochemistry and photocatalysis or radiation chemistry and radiocatalysis. Consistent definitions are given of terms in these areas, as well as definitions of the most important parameters used for the quantitative description of these phenomena. Terms related to the up-scaling of photocatalytic processes for industrial applications have been included. This Glossary should be used together with the “Glossary of Terms used in Photochemistry,” 3rd version, IUPAC Recommendations 2006: as well as with the IUPAC Compendium of Chemical Terminology, 2nd edition (the “Gold Book”) because many terms used in photocatalysis are defined in these documents.

Terminology of Polymers and Polymerization Processes in Dispersed Systems
A large group of industrially important polymerization processes is carried out in dispersed systems. These processes differ with respect to their physical nature, mechanism of particle formation, particle morphology, size, charge, types of interparticle interactions and many other aspects. Polymer dispersions, and polymers derived from polymerization in disperse media, are used in diverse areas such as paints, adhesives, microelectronics, medicine, cosmetics, biotechnology and others. Frequently, the same names are used for different processes and products or different names are used for the same processes and products. The present list of recommended terms and definitions is necessary for the unambiguous description of processes, products, parameters and characteristic features relevant to polymers in dispersed systems.
