CFD Analysis of Dual‐Layer PCM Roofs for Thermal Mitigation in Residential Buildings

Heat Transfer, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 2290-2312, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents a computational fluid dynamics analysis of dual‐layer phase change material (PCM) roofs for passive cooling in residential buildings under the hot and humid climate of Bangladesh. A three‐dimensional transient model was developed in ANSYS Fluent using the enthalpy–porosity approach to simulate coupled heat conduction ...

Side‐Chain Nanophase Separation Broadens the Double‐Gyroid Stability Window in PS–PODMA Diblock Copolymers

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
This image shows the theoretical phase diagram of a conformationally symmetric diblock copolymer together with the morphologies of PS‐b‐PODMA plotted on that diagram as a function of volume fraction f. The DG‐containing window is substantially broader than the narrow gyroid windows typically reported for neat diblock copolymers.
