We have examined the abilities of five structurally simple molecules to form thermoreversible gels with a variety of organic liquids. Each gelator is an acyclic alkane with one heteroatom. Of these, dioctadecylamine ( 2N ) is the most efficient gelator. At ≅3 wt % concentrations, it forms gels with alkanes, aromatic l…

The yield conditions for the gravitational displacement of three-dimensional fluid droplets from inclined solid surfaces are studied through a series of numerical computations. The study considers both sessile and pendant droplets and includes interfacial forces with constant surface tension. An extensive study is con…

Novel molecular electron donor−acceptor (DA) dyads, composed of a phytochlorin donor and a [60]fullerene acceptor, have been photochemically characterized. In these dyads, a pyrrolidine spacer group links the chlorin and the C 60 moieties covalently, forming a rigid dyad with a short and almost constant D−A distance.…

The synthesis of high-performance polymers requires a high level of control over the product9s morphology and hence its macroscopic properties. Kageyama et al . (page 2113) introduce a method that may make it easier to achieve such control over polymers made from simple starting materials. Nanoreactors within a mesopo…

In this paper, an organic−inorganic composite film of heteropolyanion was formed by attaching a Keggin-type heteropolyanion, SiW 12 O 40 4 -, on carbon electrode surface derivatized by 4-aminophenyl monolayer. The composite film thus grafted on carbon electrode surface has good stability because of the ionic bonding c…

The effect of bulk viscosity on the evolution of the spatially flat Friedmann–Lemaitre–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) models in the context of open thermodynamical systems, which allow for particle creation, is analysed within the framework of Brans–Dicke (BD) theory. The BD field equations are modified with the incorporatio…

Malignant tumours often induce a fibroproliferative response in the adjacent stroma, characterized by increased expression of type I and type III procollagens. In normal tissues, fibrillar collagens normally undergo extensive intermolecular cross-linking that provides tensile strength to the tissue. Here we set out to…

The dynamical mean-field theory together with the non-crossing approximation is used to set up a novel scheme to study the electronic structure of strongly correlated electron systems. The non-interacting band structure is obtained from a density functional calculation within the local density approximation. With this…
