Abstract Two bead‐spring models of flexible chains for generic coarse graining of entangled polymer melts, the excluded volume Kremer–Grest (KG) model and the modified segmental repulsive potential (mSRP) combined with a weakly repulsive potential, are compared. For chains containing an equivalent number of entangleme…

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have attracted considerable interest due to their ability to differentiate and contribute to the regeneration of mesenchymal tissues. The present study illustrates that the proper immobilization of heparin (Hep) and hyaluronic acid (HA) into a polypyrrole (PPy) matrix by elect…

Abstract A screen-printed poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) : poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT : PSS) layer was used as the anode for a flexible white organic light-emitting device (FWOLED). After 700 bending cycles, the sheet resistance of the anode was increased to 1.8 times the initial value (296 Ω/□). The average tran…

The pentiptycene receptors form edge-to-face complexes with a variety of aromatic guests including nitroaromatics. X-ray diffractometry revealed that compounds 1, 2, and 3 form host–guest assemblies with a thienyl fragment (from a neightboring molecule of 1 ), benzene and nitrobenzene, respectively. X-ray studies of t…

Molecular dynamics simulations of polyelectrolyte poly(acrylic acid) at infinitely dilute conditions in aqueous solutions containing up to 6 vol% ethanol were performed with explicit solvent and counter-ion description for varying degree of neutralisation. In the range of ethanol concentration employed, this study sho…

We perform molecular dynamics simulations to study the effect of charged surfaces on the intermediate and long time dynamics of water in nanoconfinements. Here, we use the transferable interaction potential with five points (TIP5P) model of a water molecule confined in both hydrophobic and charged surfaces. For a sing…

Glass-fiber-reinforced polyester (GFRP) plates are treated using a 50 Hz dielectric barrier discharge at a peak-to-peak voltage of 30 kV in helium at atmospheric pressure with and without ultrasonic irradiation to study adhesion improvement. The ultrasonic waves at the fundamental frequency of around 30 kHz with the s…

Two-dimensional insulators with time-reversal symmetry can have two topologically different phases, the quantum spin Hall and the normal phase. The former is revealed by the existence of conducting edge states that are topologically protected. Here we show that the reaction to impurity, in bulk, is radically different…

Fabrication, spectroscopic properties, and laser performance of a Yb:SiO(2) multicomponent glass have been investigated in this paper. The glass system composed of SiO(2), Al(2)O(3), and La(2)O(3) excels in terms of a high thermal stress resistance compared to other laser glasses. The laser experiments were conducted…

Diesel low temperature combustion (LTC) is capable of producing diesel-like efficiency while emitting ultra-low nitrogen oxides (NOx) and soot emissions. Previous work indicates that well-controlled single-shot injection with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is an operative way of achieving diesel LTC from low to mid e…
