Within the framework of the mode-coupling theory of super-cooled liquids, we investigate new phenomena in colloidal systems on approach to their glass transitions. When the inter-particle potential contains an attractive part, besides the usual repulsive h ...
The transition from a liquid to a glass in colloidal suspensions of particles interacting through a hard core plus an attractive square-well potential is studied within the rnode-coupling-theory framework. When the width of the attractive potential is much ...
We discuss the phase behaviour of spherical hard-core particles, with an attractive potential, as described by a hard-core Yukawa model. The ratio of the range of the attraction to the diameter of the particles is an important control parameter of the prob ...
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 ...
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 ...
The phase behavior of a DPPC monolayer on water was studied using vibrational sum-frequency spectroscopy (VSFG) in conjunction with fluorescence microscopy. A very sharp transition from a phase with curled alkyl chains to a phase with spatially extended ch ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
The most important advances in the field of biomaterials over the past few years have been in bioactive biomaterials. Materials have been developed to incorporate bioactivity through biological recognition, including incorporation of adhesion factors, poly ...
