Electroactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers as Soft Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electroactive liquid crystal elastomers (eLCEs) can be actuated via electromechanical, electrochemical, or electrothermal effects. a) Electromechanical effects include Maxwell stress, electrostriction, and the electroclinic effect. b) Electrochemical effects arise from electrode redox reactions.

Studies of Electrolytic Conductivity of Some Polyelectrolyte Solutions: Importance of the Dielectric Friction Effect at High Dilution

open access: yesJournal of Chemistry, 2013
We present a general description of conductivity behavior of highly charged strong polyelectrolytes in dilute aqueous solutions taking into account the translational dielectric friction on the moving polyions modeled as chains of charged spheres ...

Humic acid protein complexation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Interactions of purified Aldrich humic acid (PAHA) with lysozyme (LSZ) are investigated. In solution LSZ is moderately positively and PAHA negatively charged at the investigated pH values.

Block Copolymers: Emerging Building Blocks for Additive Manufacturing

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review addresses how block copolymer (BCP) physics and rheology have led to the widespread use of BCPs in advanced additive manufacturing techniques, with particular emphasis on the untapped potential of these nanostructured materials toward achieving multi‐scale architected materials with unique, programmable material properties.

A Variational Approach for Minimizing Lennard-Jones Energies [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
A variational method for computing conformational properties of molecules with Lennard-Jones potentials for the monomer-monomer interactions is presented. The approach is tailored to deal with angular degrees of freedom, {\it rotors}, and consists in the

Suppression of Photo‐Mediated Traps in Integrated Organic Photovoltaic–Photodetector Devices via N‐Type Self‐Assembly‐Driven Interfacial Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Conventional unstable electron transport layers (ETLs) limit self‐powered organic sensors. This work resolves this by developing a n‐type self‐assembled monolayer (SAM), “3‐PAPh”. This SAM forms a chemically stable and structurally ordered interface that fundamentally suppresses defect formation.

Improving the Efficiency of a Coagulation-Flocculation Wastewater Treatment of the Semiconductor Industry through Zeta Potential Measurements

open access: yesJournal of Chemistry, 2014
Efficiency of coagulation-flocculation process used for semiconductor wastewater treatment was improved by selecting suitable conditions (pH, polyelectrolyte type, and concentration) through zeta potential measurements.

Amphiphilic QP(DMAEMA-co-LMA)-b-POEGMA Random-Block Terpolymers as Nanocarriers for Insulin

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2020
We report on the utilization of the amphiphilic poly[quaternized (2-(N,N-dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate)]-co-(lauryl methacrylate))-b-poly[(oligo ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate] QP(DMAEMA-co-LMA)-b-POEGMA cationic diblock terpolymer ...

The Electrostatic Persistence Length of Polymers beyond the OSF Limit

open access: yes, 2002
We use large scale Monte Carlo simulations to test scaling theories for the electrostatic persistence length $l_e$ of isolated, uniformly charged polymers with \DH intrachain interactions in the limit where the screening length $\kappa^{-1}$ exceeds the ...

Investigation of the influence of polyelectrolytes hydrodynamic properties on the hydrate formation process [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
One of the most perspective non-traditional sources of hydrocarbon raw materials and energy is gas hydrates (GH), which stimulates their large-scale study in many laboratories and scientific centers around the world.
