The basic dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) method is described, and a useful extension to allow many-body interactions is detailed. The application of DPD to problems in materials physics is discussed for polymers, surfactants and self-assembling systems.
Normal-mode relaxation of entangled cis -polyisoprene (PI) confined in porous glass was studied using broadband dielectric spectroscopy. In our designed model systems, geometric confinement effects are much weaker than surface adsorption effects, allowing relaxation dynamics of polymer chains at the surface to be dete…
Tapping mode atomic force microscopy was used to investigate the lamellar morphology of poly(l-lactide) and two poly(l-lactide-co-meso-lactide) random copolymers containing 3% and 6% meso-lactide. Samples were isothermally crystallized at selected temperatures, and qualitative and quantitative analyses of lamellar str…
The adsorption of hydrophobic silica nanoparticles at the poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) droplet−water interface has been investigated through particle adsorption isotherms, with complementary studies of the adsorbed layer structure by freeze-fracture SEM. The influences of pH and electrolyte concentration as well as d…
A double mutant cycle has been used to evaluate interaction energies between the global stabilizer mutation asparagine 52 --> isoleucine (N52I) in iso-1-cytochrome c and mutations producing single surface histidines at positions 26, 33, 39, 54, 73, 89, and 100. These histidine mutation sites are distributed through th…
The dynamic heterogeneity of the segmental dynamics in miscible polymer blends has been alternatively interpreted in terms of either chain connectivity effects or thermal concentration fluctuations. Taking into account that both phenomena seem to be relevant, in this work we propose a minimal model which combines thes…
The electron density distributions (EDD) of the redox active mixed valence trinuclear oxo-centered iron carboxylate, [Fe(3)O(CH(2)ClCOO)(6)(H(2)O)(3)].3H(2)O, 1, and the oxidized form of 1, [Fe(3)O(CH(2)ClCOO)(6)(H(2)O)(2)(CH(2)ClCOO)].1H(2)O, 2, as well as of [Fe(3)O(C(CH(3))(3)COO)(6) (NC(5)H(5))(3)], 3, have been d…
The influence of the nature of alkali metal cations on the structure of the species obtained from the trivacant precursor A-alpha-[SiW(9)O(34)](10-) has been studied. Starting from the potassium salt 1, K(10)A-alpha-[SiW(9)O(34)].24H(2)O, the sandwich-type complex 2, K(10.75)[Co(H(2)O)(6)](0.5)[Co(H(2)O)(4)Cl](0.25)A-…
The structures, energies, and fragmentation stabilities of silicon oxide clusters Si m O n, with m = 1−5, n = 1, 2 m + 1, are studied systematically by ab initio calculations. New structures for nine clusters are found to be energetically more favorable than previously proposed structures. Using the ground state struc…
Controlled grafting of well-defined polymer brushes on the hydrogen-terminated Si(100) substrates (the Si−H substrate) was carried out via the surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Surface initiators were immobilized on the Si−H substrates in three consecutive steps: (i) coupling of an ω-unsat…
Stable polyelectrolyte capsules were produced by the layer-by-layer (LbL) assembling of biodegradable polyelectrolytes, dextran sulfate and protamine, on melamine formaldehyde (MF) microcores followed by the cores decomposition at low pH. The mean diameter of the capsules at pH 3-5 was 8.0 +/- 0.2 microm, which is mor…
The synthesis of anthracene (AN) nanowires and perylene (PY) nanorods on the basis of solid-phase organic reactions under controlled conditions is discussed, and the structures are confirmed by SEM, TEM, and XRD. The dimension-dependent emission properties of the AN nanowires and PY nanorods is observed. This approach…

A theoretical explanation is given to account for the unexpected observation that L- and S-band Nb superconducting cavities were found to have lower Q and lower magnetic breakdown field than those of the higher X-band frequencies. Both effects can be related to the trapping of magnetic flux in the cavity walls. The fr…
In this work we seek to understand some of the fundamental processes that govern self-assembly at the nanoscale in the context of the formation of metallic structures on patterned co-polymer templates. To this end we focus on the experiments conducted by Lopes {\it et al} (Nature, 2001), where morphologies resulting f…
Various cellulose samples converted into cellulose III by two different ammonia treatments, either liquid or gaseous, were reacted with catalytic amounts of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO), sodium hypochlorite, and sodium bromide in water. A substantial increase in the reactivity of cellulose III…
Equilibrium wetting on rough surfaces is discussed in terms of the “competition” between complete liquid penetration into the roughness grooves and entrapment of air bubbles inside the grooves underneath the liquid. The former is the homogeneous wetting regime, usually described by the Wenzel equation. The latter is t…
Transparent glass-ceramics containing YAl 3 (BO 3 ) 4 crystals were prepared by thermal poling of the Y 2 O 3 –Al 2 O 3 –B 2 O 3 glasses. Second harmonic generation could be measured from both the glass-ceramics prepared with/without applied voltage, however, intensity is markedly enhanced in the samples prepared with…
Mg-rich wolfeite [diiron(II) hydroxide phosphate], (FeII,Mg)2(PO4)(OH), from the Big Fish River area, Yukon Territory, Canada, is isotypic with its MnII-dominant analogue triploidite. The framework structure contains edge- and corner-sharing, distorted MO4(OH) and MO4(OH)2 (M = FeII or FeII,Mg) polyhedra linked by fa…
