We review recent work done on the rheology of thermosensitive suspensions. These systems consist of aqueous suspensions of core–shell particles having a solid polystyrene core and a shell of thermosensitive crosslinked poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA). In cold water the thermosensitive PNIPA-network is swollen lead…

The intermetallic compound Mn5Si3 has been studied by high-resolution Time-of-Flight (TOF) neutron powder diffraction. At room temperature, Mn5Si3 is paramagnetic and it crystallizes in the P63/mcm hexagonal space group. Magnetic susceptibility and specific heat measurements show clearly two major anomalies. At 100(1)…

In this paper we study the distributed optimal control for the Cahn–Hilliard system. A general class of free energy potentials is allowed which, in particular, includes the double-obstacle potential. The latter potential yields an optimal control problem of a parabolic variational inequality which is of fourth order i…
