Simulation and theory of fluid demixing and interfacial tension of mixtures of colloids and non-ideal polymers [PDF]
, 2005 An extension of the Asakura-Oosawa-Vrij model of hard sphere colloids and non-adsorbing polymers, that takes polymer non-ideality into account through a repulsive stepfunction pair potential between polymers, is studied with grand canonical Monte Carlo ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Microbial mineralization of organic compounds is essential for carbon recycling in food webs. Microbes can decompose terrestrial recalcitrant and semi-recalcitrant polymers such as lignin and cellulose, which are precursors for humus formation.

Phase diagram for a mixture of colloids and polymers with equal size [PDF]
, 2008 We present the phase diagram of a colloid-polymer mixture in which the radius a of the colloidal spheres is approximately the same as the radius R of a polymer coil (q=R/a1).

Bond–slip Behavior of Fiber-reinforced Polymer/concrete Interface in Single Shear Pull-out and Beam Tests [PDF]
, 2015 It has been assumed that the fiber-reinforced polymer/concrete interface is subjected to in-plane shear condition when intermediate crack debonding failure occurs.

Review of the Transition From Smouldering to Flaming Combustion in Wildfires
Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering, 2019 Wildfires are uncontrolled combustion events occurring in the natural environment (forest, grassland, or peatland). The frequency and size of these fires are expected to increase globally due to changes in climate, land use, and population movements ...

Dry friction of microstructured polymer surfaces inspired by snake skin
Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2014 The microstructure investigated in this study was inspired by the anisotropic microornamentation of scales from the ventral body side of the California King Snake (Lampropeltis getula californiae).

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2016 Asphalt mixtures properties can be enhanced by modifying it with additives. Even though the immediate benefits of using polymers and waxes to modify the binder properties are rather well documented, the effects of such modification over the lifetime of a

Colloid-Induced Polymer Compression [PDF]
, 2002 We consider a model mixture of hard colloidal spheres and non-adsorbing polymer chains in a theta solvent. The polymer component is modelled as a polydisperse mixture of effective spheres, mutually noninteracting but excluded from the colloids, with ...
