Thermodynamic Interactions in Polydiene/Polyolefin Blends
Thermodynamic interactions in blends of polydienes and polyolefins were investigated using small angle neutron scattering (SANS). Model polydienes with controlled molecular weight, dispersity, and precise chemical structure were synthesized using anionic polymerization, and subsequently saturated …

Characterization of block copolymers and polymer blends by inverse gas chromatography
… of block copolymers, and the strength of the thermodynamic interactions between the components of polymer blends and the unlike segments of block copolymers was examined. There were three parts to the study. First, the Scott ternary solution model, which is used for the study of thermodynamic …

The Conformational Dynamics of the Polymorphic Amyloid β Protofilaments
… in the central nervous system. We examined the thermodynamic interactions of the protofilament and the bilayer through molecular dynamics simulations to identify the mechanisms for toxicity.

Hydrodynamics and Diffusion of Membrane Proteins to Engineer Chemical Reactions in Synthetic Biomembrane Platforms
… transmembrane proteins via both hydrodynamic and thermodynamic interactions is characterized. Next, the same model is used to characterize the effect of immobile proteins on the diffusive mode of a single mobile protein. Results from these two studies appear to be consistent with experimental …

Development of Sustainable Thermoplastic Elastomers
… SAS above the ODT, and tensile properties. The thermodynamic interactions between the components of SAS, polyacrylates and polystyrene, were explored through determination of the Flory-Huggins interaction parameter through cloud point measurements on binary polymer blends and measurement of the …

Experimental and Numerical Modelling of a Multiple Oscillating Water Column Structure
… and numerically modelling the hydrodynamic and thermodynamic interactions within the array of OWCs in the model platform, a nonlinear, time domain, numerical model, at a scale of 1:50, of a single OWC from the proposed platform, with control components, is developed. Predictions from the …

Nanoparticle transport via holographic photopolymerization
… by pure concentration gradients. Ignoring the thermodynamic interactions proved to be an inadequate assumption, so the model was re-accomplished using Flory-Huggins Polymer—Solution Theory to account for free energy using an experimentally derived χ between the polymer and liquid crystal and by …

U-Pb geochronology of the Duluth Complex and related hypabyssal intrusions: investigating the emplacement history of a large multiphase intrusive complex related to the 1.1 Ga Midcontinent Rift.
Paces and Miller (1993) precisely established the main intrusive periods that created the Duluth Complex and related intrusions associated with the 1.1 Ga Midcontinent Rift in NE Minnesota. They did not, however, resolve differences in emplacement ages within and between major intrusive units due …
