Regular pattern formation based on template synthesis is overviewed from the submicron scale to the submolecular level. Size of patterns of course depends on size of template. Specificity and precision of interaction between the templates and between patterned materials are apparently correlated with the size and prec…

The ultraviolet stability of several high birefringence liquid crystal structures was studied. Compounds containing carbon-carbon double bond or triple bond are less stable than those containing merely phenyl rings. In addition to the structural effect, absorption wavelength also plays an important role to the degrada…

Fluorocarbon radio-frequency glow-discharge (RFGD) treatment has previously been shown to cause decreased platelet adhesion despite the presence of adsorbed fibrinogen on the surfaces. In this study platelet adhesion to fluorocarbon RFGD-treated surfaces preadsorbed with human plasma was further examined. A series of…

Polarimetry is used for continuous online monitoring of optical resolution by preferential crystallization. In combination with refractometry the liquid phase composition is determined, allowing one to follow the resolution progress quantitatively. The measurement techniques were calibrated up to relatively high solut…
