Structure-Property Relationships of Microphase-Separated Metallosupramolecular Polymers

Emad Oveisi, Stephen Schrettl

The structural, thermomechanical, and viscoelastic properties of metallosupramolecular polymers (MSPs) can be controlled through the choice of the multiligand monomer and the nature of the metal salt from which these materials are assembled. This versatili ...

Design guidelines for Al-12%Si latent heat storage encapsulations to optimize performance and mitigate degradation

Sophia Haussener, Selmar Rudolf Binder

We provide detailed insight into the growth kinetics of intermetallic layers formed at the interface of molten Al-12%Si with cylindrical encapsulations of 316L stainless steel. This knowledge is relevant for the design and operation of high-temperature lat ...

Atomistic modeling of the solid-liquid interface of metals and alloys

Edoardo Baldi

Solidification is a phase transformation of utmost importance in material science, for it largely controls materials' microstructure on which a wide range of mechanical properties depends. Almost every human artifact undergoes a transformation that leads t ...

Nanocapillary confinement of imidazolium based ionic liquids

Aleksandra Radenovic, Sanjin Marion, Sebastian James Davis, Zeng-Qiang Wu

Room temperature ionic liquids are salts which are molten at or around room temperature without any added solvent or solution. In bulk they exhibit glass like dependence of conductivity with temperature as well as coupling of structural and transport prope ...

Effect of PEM fuel cell porous media compression on in-plane transport phenomena

Mahbod Heidari

Liquid-gas two-phase flow in the gas diffusion layer (GDL) of proton exchange membrane fuel cells is investigated using an ex-situ experimental setup. The mass transport phenomena is investigated in carbon paper and carbon cloth GDLs and at different compr ...

Dynamic wetting in pressure-infiltration of ceramic particle preforms by molten metal

Gionata Schneider

This thesis investigates the interaction between mechanically induced flow of a liquid metal into a porous solid, and kinetic effects at the triple line. The approach is experimental and focuses on metal-ceramic systems for which the literature gives value ...

Predicting homogeneous nucleation rate from atomistic simulations

Bingqing Cheng

Predictive modelling and quantitative understanding of nucleation is essential for predicting phase transformation processes in nature and precisely controlling material synthesis and processing. Atomistic modeling is a powerful tool for capturing the dyna ...

Hydration mediated interfacial transitions on mixed hydrophobic/hydrophilic nanodroplet interfaces

Sylvie Roke, Halil Ibrahim Okur, Nikolay Smolentsev, Rüdiger Scheu, Filip Kovacik

Interfacial phase transitions are of fundamental importance for climate, industry, and biological processes. In this work, we observe a hydration mediated surface transition in supercooled oil nanodroplets in aqueous solutions using second harmonic and sum ...

Peptide Bond Ultraviolet Absorption Enables Vibrational Cold-Ion Spectroscopy of Nonaromatic Peptides

Vladimir Kopysov, Aleksandr Pereverzev

Peptide-bond VUV absorption is inherent to all proteins and peptides. Although widely exploited in top-down proteomics for photodissociation, this absorption has never been spectroscopically characterized in the gas phase. We have measured VUV/UV photofrag ...

Implementation of a comprehensive ice crystal formation parameterization for cirrus and mixed-phase clouds in the EMAC model (based on MESSy 2.53)

Athanasios Nenes

A comprehensive ice nucleation parameterization has been implemented in the global chemistry-climate model EMAC to improve the representation of ice crystal number concentrations (ICNCs). The parameterization of Barahona and Nenes (2009, hereafter BN09) al ...
