A structural and thermodynamic study of non-aqueous solvent/wax systems
Non-aqueous wax/solvent systems of industrial relevance for the manufacture of paste polishes have been investigated. These mixtures have been modelled using a paraffin wax of Japanese origin (Nippon Seiro 140/145°F) in a solution of pure heptane to which dopant components are added.The stability …

Organic macromolecular architectures for non-aqueous redox flow batteries
… our first example of a full polymer battery in non-aqueous solvent. In efforts to improve anode performance, a poly-4-nitrostyrene was synthesized and achieved an increased voltage of 0.9 V over the previous viologen system. To circumvent the limited size of polymers and other macromolecules, we …

Joint Density-Functional Theory For Energetics And Spectroscopy In Complex Aqueous And Nonaqueous Solvents
Solvents are of great importance in many technological applications, but are difficult to study using standard, off-the-shelf ab initio electronic structure methods. This is because a single configuration of molecular positions in the solvent (a "snapshot" of the fluid) is not necessarily …

Size reduction and polymer encapsulation of carbon black in gas-expanded solvents
… ink jet inks are currently produced via an aqueous process, supercritical fluids (SCF) and gas-expanded liquids (GXL) present alternative processing media for particle coating operations that may offer significant benefits with respect to the production of polymer-encapsulated pigment …

The Design and Synthesis of Magnetic Nanocomposites
… In this synthesis SmCo5 was synthesized via solvent assisted ball milling in oleic acid. Once completed these particles were processed in a multistep cleaning process which removed excess solvent and much of the surface oxidation. The particles were then suspended in a non-aqueous solvent and …

Adsorption of Model Fuel Additives at the Metal/Oil Interface
… additive onto iron oxide from various alkane solvents was investigated using a variety of surface techniques. It was found that adsorption proceeds to monolayer formation where the molecules are essentially ‘upright’. Spectroscopic measurements indicated that the binding to the surface takes …

YIELDING PHENOMENA IN MICROGEL SUSPENSIONS ACROSS LENGTH SCALES
… scales, varying its swelling by adjusting pH or solvents. Microgel rheology in aqueous and non-aqueous solvents: By tuning pH, we investigated how microgel swelling affects their effective volume fraction and yield stress. Maximum swelling typically occurs around neutral pH in water-based …
