The crystalline (B4 ) phase made of acute-angle bent-core molecules (1,7-naphthalene derivatives), which exhibits an unusual, highly porous sponge-like morphology, is presented. However, if grown in the presence of low-weight mesogenic molecules, the same crystal forms nanotubes with a very high aspect ratio. The nano…

An accurate quantification method for hydroxyl (OH) radicals is proposed. A pulsed plasma was generated in argon over a solution of disodium terephthalate (NaTA) or 2-hydroxyterephthalic acid (HTA). Since it was confirmed that HTA could be decomposed by the plasma, rate equations for NaTA and HTA were calculated using…

In this paper, we substantiate the claim implicitly made in previous works that the relaxed micromorphic model is the only linear, isotropic, reversibly elastic, nonlocal generalized continuum model able to describe complete band-gaps on a phenomenological level. To this end, we recapitulate the response of the standa…
