The phase behavior of ABC star triblock copolymers is examined using real-space self-consistent mean-field theory. The central part of the triangular phase diagram for ABC triblock copolymers with equal A/B, B/C, and C/A interactions is determined by comparing the free energy of a number of candidate ordered phases. I…

We developed and successfully tested a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method to estimate the liquidus temperature ( T L ) of good glass‐forming systems, i.e., that are reluctant to crystallize. The method was first tested for several Li 2 O–B 2 O 3 glasses. The onset, peak, and endpoint temperatures of DSC me…

Collagen is the main connective tissue protein of vertebrates and shows exceptional mechanical and optical properties. The alignment of collagen fibrils correlates to the function of a specific tissue and leads to optical anisotropy. The effect of the molecular alignment on Raman scattering, however, has barely been i…
