A recursive microfluidic platform to explore the emergence of chemical evolution

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2017
We propose that a chemically agnostic approach to explore the origin of life, using an automated recursive platform based on droplet microfluidics, could be used to induce artificial chemical evolution by iterations of growth, speciation, selection, and ...

Multifidelity Thermochemical–Mechanical Modeling of Pultruded Hollow Composite Profiles

open access: yesJournal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pultrusion of hollow composite profiles with fast‐curing polyurethane (PU) resin requires simultaneous control of heat transfer, cure kinetics, viscosity evolution, and pulling resistance, making empirical process optimization costly and uncertain.

Hydrogen‐Enhanced Stress Corrosion Cracking of Wire Arc Additive Manufactured Inconel 625 Superalloy in NaCl Solution: Mechanism of Synergistic Degradation

open access: yesMaterials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
Hydrogen‐enhanced SCC of WAAM Inconel 625 in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. Hydrogen charging reduces passive film stability (lower corrosion potential) and promotes pitting at Laves phase/matrix interfaces. Stress corrosion cracks propagate along Laves‐rich regions, leading to quasi‐cleavage brittle fracture.

Solid-State Autocatalysis and Oscillatory Reactions in Thermally Processed Hydrogen Loaded Germanosilicate Fibres

open access: yes, 2005
Solid-state autocatalysis leading to oscillatory behaviour in GeOH and SiOH formation is demonstrated in optical fibres processed at 500o C. The results confirm the proposed view that hydrogen accelerates change in processed optical fibres principally ...

Acid‐Promoted Polarity Switch Enables Efficient Radical Polymerization of Vinyl Ethyl Sulfide

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Acid‐induced polarity switching activates electron‐rich vinyl ethyl sulfide toward radical formation and enables efficient free‐radical propagation, and polymers with monomodal molecular‐weight distributions using either strong or weak acids. ABSTRACT Herein, we report a new concept for the polymerization of electron‐rich vinyl sulfides based on an ...

Navigating the Chemical Space of HCN Polymerization and Hydrolysis: Guiding Graph Grammars by Mass Spectrometry Data

open access: yesEntropy, 2013
Polymers of hydrogen cyanide and their hydrolysis products constitute a plausible, but still poorly understood proposal for early prebiotic chemistry on Earth.

Asymmetric Autocatalysis Initiated by Finite Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube Molecules with Helical Chirality

open access: yes, 2016
An asymmetric autocatalysis reaction was initiated by a finite single-wall carbon nanotube molecule with helical chirality. The asymmetric induction was initiated by the chiral environment arising from the planar chirality of the tubular polyaromatic ...

Existence and Stability Analysis of Classical and Fractional‐Order Generalized Brusselator Reaction‐Diffusion System

open access: yesMathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present work is devoted to establishing existence results and examining the stability properties of solutions associated with a generalized Brusselator reaction–diffusion system in both the classical and fractional‐order settings. The corresponding ODE and PDE formulations are considered to establish the global existence of solutions in ...

Prebiotic Competition between Information Variants, With Low Error Catastrophe Risks

open access: yesEntropy, 2015
During competition for resources in primitive networks increased fitness of an information variant does not necessarily equate with successful elimination of its competitors.

Reinforcement of Polyvinyl Chloride Using Plasma‐Activated Aramid Fibers and Surface‐Bonded Compatibilizer

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Two‐step compatibiization of aramid fibers with PVC via Plasma Activation and surface reaction. ABSTRACT This study investigated the application of a two‐step compatibilization procedure to aramid fiber–polyvinyl chloride (PVC) composites. Aramid fibers were subjected to high radio frequency power air plasma treatment and incorporated into the PVC ...
