An efficient crystallization screening method is important in drug design to yield high resolution crystallographic structures of protein–ligand complexes to understand inhibitor selectivity and potency for various members of an enzyme family. The strategy starts with a single condition for each protein–ligand complex…

The most efficient catalysts have been developed and optimized by living systems. Indeed, in vivo enzyme-catalyzed reactions are several orders of magnitude more efficient than platinum-based catalyzed reactions. However, the rate of reaction and equilibrium interactions are considerably reduced when the biological sy…

In recent years, several papers reported an enhanced dielectric anisotropy when ferroelectric particles were suspended in a liquid crystal. These results seem to be sensitive to the liquid crystal used and the preparation method of the ferroelectric particles. In this paper, we compare different preparation methods of…

The response of anisotropic pigment particle suspensions to externally applied electric fields has been explored for possible application in reflective display technologies. Three different types of pigment particle were suspended in dodecane, using a polymeric stabilizer, and showed Schlieren textures between crossed…

Using a geometry-based fundamental measure density functional theory, we calculate bulk fluid phase diagrams of colloidal mixtures of vanishingly thin hard circular platelets and hard spheres. We find isotropic-nematic phase separation, with strong broadening of the biphasic region, upon increasing the pressure. In mi…

We study thermophysical properties of a Janus fluid with constrained orientations, using analytical techniques and numerical simulations. The Janus character is modeled by means of a Kern-Frenkel potential where each sphere has one hemisphere of square-well and the other of hard-sphere character. The orientational con…

Polystyrene (PS) foams are widespread heat insulation and impact absorption materials, but many blowing agents used in their production are harmful to the environment. Pentane is a less harmful alternative and is commonly used in the manufacturing of expandable PS, but there are inadequate diffusion data of pentane in…

Abstract Herein, we report a facile method to prepare thermally reversible, flexible, transparent, and luminescent ionic organosilica gels with tunable emission colors. The reaction of an amino‐functionalized ionic liquid ([NH2‐Bim]Br) with 3‐(triethoxysilyl)propyl isocyanate results in an ionic‐liquid‐modified alkoxy…
