Modeling morphology evolution during solvent-based fabrication of organic solar cells [PDF]
Solvent-based techniques usually involve preparing dilute blends of electron-donor and electron-acceptor materials dissolved in a volatile solvent. After some form of coating onto a substrate, the solvent evaporates.

Ionic-interaction of aqueous and alcoholic poly(vinyl alcohol) in the presence of protons [PDF]
The ionic-interactions of acetic acid in H2O-PVOH and H2O-Alcohol-PVOH solvent systems were studied at different temperatures by viscosity method. The viscosities of the poly(vinyl alcohol) were increased with the increase in the concentration ...

Parameter Choice Matters: Validating Probe Parameters for Use in Mixed-Solvent Simulations [PDF]
Probe mapping is a common approach for identifying potential binding sites in structure-based drug design; however, it typically relies on energy minimizations of probes in the gas phase and a static protein structure. The mixed-solvent molecular dynamics (MixMD) approach was recently developed to account for full protein flexibility and solvation ...

Universal parameters of bulk-solvent masks [PDF]
The bulk solvent is a major component of biomacromolecular crystals that contributes significantly to the observed diffraction intensities. Accurate modelling of the bulk solvent has been recognized as important for many crystallographic calculations. Owing to its simplicity and modelling power, the flat (mask-based) bulk-solvent model is used by most ...

Predicting Solvation Free Energies Using Parameter-Free Solvent Models [PDF]
We present a new approach for predicting solvation free energies in nonaqueous solvents. Utilizing the corresponding states principle, we estimate solvent Lennard-Jones parameters directly from their critical points. Combined with atomic solutes and the pressure corrected three-dimensional reference interaction site model (3D-RISM/PC+), the model gives

Solvent effects on Grubbs’ pre-catalyst initiation rates [PDF]
Initiation rates for Grubbs and Grubbs-Hoveyda second generation pre-catalysts have been measured accurately in a range of solvents. Solvatochromic fitting reveals different dependencies on key solvent parameters for the two pre-catalysts, consistent ...

Phase chirality and stereo-selective swelling of cholesteric elastomers [PDF]
Cholesteric elastomers possess a macroscopic ``phase chirality'' as the director n rotates in a helical fashion along an optical axis $z$ and can be described by a chiral order parameter.

Evolution of dispersion of carbon nanotubes in Polyamide 11 matrix composites as determined by DC conductivity [PDF]
Double-walled Carbon NanoTubes (DWCNTs) have been dispersed in a Polyamide 11 (PA11) matrix by two routes: in the solvent way, Polyamide 11 was first dissolved in its solvent to ensure a liquid state dispersion of carbon nanotubes by ultrasonic way; in ...

Activity coefficients for liquid organic reactions : towards a better understanding of true kinetics with the synthesis of jasmin aldehyde as showcase [PDF]
The aldol condensation of benzaldehyde and heptanal is taken as an example of reversible liquid phase organic reactions to show that inclusion of activity coefficients reveal distinct differences in conversion and product distribution when different ...
