We have studied a model of a complex fluid consisting of particles interacting through a hard-core and short-range attractive potential of both Yukawa and square-well form. Using a hybrid method, including a self-consistent and quite accurate approximation ...
The structural buildup during reticulation of thermoset systems containing reactive modifiers can strongly influence the final properties of such blends. This was studied by considering the rheological behavior during cure of an epoxy/amine thermoset syste ...
Characteristics of hydrogels formed by assocn. of hydrophobically-modified polyethylene glycol (PEG) with fluoroalkyl (Rf) end-groups can be controlled by modulating their mol. structures. Polymers with relatively long PEG chains (e.g., 20 kg/mol PEG with ...
We have modeled the decomposition of nonstoichiometric amorphous SiOx upon annealing into silicon and stoichiometric silica, using a new method based on mapping Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations onto rate equations. The concentrations of all oxidation sta ...
We present a simple, original method to improve piecewise linear interpolation with uniform knots: We shift the sampling knots by a fixed amount, while enforcing the interpolation property. Thanks to a theoretical analysis, we determine the optimal shift t ...
V substituted phosphomolybdic acids could hydroxylate benzene with nearly 100% selectivity at appreciable conversion levels in the presence of oxidizing agents like H2O2 and AcOOH. There appears to be a correlation, for the liq. phase, between phenol yield ...
Equilibrium phase diagrams in composition-conversion space have been calculated for stoichiometric blends of an epoxy resin with a diamine hardener and dendritic hyperbranched polymers, to which various numbers of epoxy groups have been grafted. An attempt ...
This chapter presents a survey of interpolation and resampling techniques in the context of exact, separable interpolation of regularly sampled data. In this context, the traditional view of interpolation is to represent an arbitrary continuous function as ...
Thick GaN layers grown by HVPE on different starting layers were examined. The resulting layers were found to be homogeneous with good crystalline and surface quality over the whole 2-inch wafer, strongly depending on the starting layers and gas phase comp ...
We investigate a thermodynamically consistent isothermal solutal phase-field mode1 describing the solidification of a binary alloy. The system is characterized by two variables: phase-field and concentration. The phase-field locally describes the phase sta ...
