Liquid Crystalline Polymers by Metathesis Polymerization
Liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) have gained attention as materials with interesting optical, mechanical and rheological properties. This review... -
Regioselective Polymerization of 1-Alkynes and Stereoselective Cyclopolymerization of α,ω-Heptadiynes
Metathesis-based polymerizations of 1-alkynes and cyclopolymerizations of 1,6-heptadiynes using late transition metal catalysts are reviewed. Results... -
The Zintl–Klemm Concept Applied to Cations in Oxides. II. The Structures of Silicates
The structures of ternary and quaternary silicates are revisited on the basis of the Zintl–Klemm concept and the Pearson's generalised octet rule.... -
Intraband Spectroscopy and Semiconductor Nanocrystals
This chapter reviews intraband spectroscopy as it has been applied to semiconductor nanocrystals synthesized by colloid methods. -
Application of Evolutionary Algorithms to Global Cluster Geometry Optimization
This contribution focuses upon the application of evolutionary algorithms to the nondeterministic polynomial hard problem of global cluster geometry... -
Prediction of Crystal Structures Using Evolutionary Algorithms and Related Techniques
Methods, evolutionary and systematic search approaches, and applications of crystal structure prediction of closest-packed and framework materials... -
Molecular Containers: Design Approaches and Applications
The design and synthesis of molecular containers is playing an increasing role in the selective removal and detection of species within solution. The... -
Ultrasonic monitoring of the gelatinisation of starch
High-resolution ultrasonic spectroscopy was applied to analysis of starch gelatinisation. Temperature profiles of ultrasonic attenuation and velocity... -

The role of premicellar assemblies and micelles upon the hydrolysis of 2-(2-fluorophenoxy)quinoxaline
In the presence of cationic surfactants (C16H33NR3Cl, R=Me, n-Pr, and n-Bu), the rate-surfactant concentration profiles for the hydrolysis of... -
Stabilisation of an amphoteric latex by hydration forces
The colloidal stability of an amphoteric polystyrene latex has been studied using a low-angle light scattering technique (nephelometry). Measurements... -

Phase behaviour of the 1-monooleoyl- rac-glycerol /n-octyl-β-D-glucoside/water system
Obtaining high-quality crystals for X-ray diffraction from membrane proteins has proven to be a difficult task. One recently presented method... -
Lipid interaction with textile fibres in dyeing conditions
There is an increasing interest in the textile industry in eco-friendly textile processing, in which the use of naturally occurring materials such as... -
Static light scattering from fractal aggregates of microgel particles
In this work, we present static light scattering results from clusters formed from mesoscopic gel particles. The resultant I(q) curves show two power... -
