Nucleation and Crystallization in Diblock and Triblock Copolymers
Crystallization of block copolymer microdomains can have a tremendous influence on the morphology, properties and applications of these materials....
-
Molecular Dynamics Modeling of the Crystal-Melt Interfaces and the Growth of Chain Folded Lamellae
The molecular mechanism of polymer crystallization is one of the most difficult problems and has defied innumerable efforts to understand the...
-
Gene Delivery Using Polymer Therapeutics
The use of polymers as synthetic non-viral carriers for introducing nucleic acids into cells appears very appealing. Polymers can be generated in...

Topological Mechanism of Polymer Nucleation and Growth – The Role of Chain Sliding Diffusion and Entanglement
Direct evidence of nucleation during the induction period of nucleation from the melt is obtained for the first time by means of small angle X-ray...
-
Synthesis of Phenol Polymers Using Peroxidases
This chapter deals with the peroxidase-catalyzed polymerization of phenol and its derivatives. Such a polymerization needs an oxidation reagent,...
-
Solution Properties of Polypeptide-based Copolymers
The aggregation behaviour of biomimetic polypeptide hybrid copolymers and copolypeptides is here reviewed with a particular eye on the occurrence...
-
Surface Rearrangement of Diblock Copolymer Brushes—Stimuli Responsive Films
This article reviews results from our group of the synthesis and characterization of diblock copolymer brushes. Results from the literature are...

Optimization of Image Compression Method Based on Fuzzy Relational Equations by Overlap Level of Fuzzy Sets
A design method of coders on YUV color space is proposed based on an overlap level of fuzzy sets, in order to optimize the image...
-
A Fuzzy Rule-Based Trading Agent: Analysis and Knowledge Extraction
In this paper, we show how a fuzzy rule-based system is developed for trading in a futures market. By our fuzzy rule-based system, an agent...

Distances Between Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets and their Applications in Reasoning
In this article we propose the use of intuitionistic fuzzy sets (Atanassov [2]) as a tool for reasoning under imperfect facts and imprecise...
-
On The Generalization of Fuzzy Rough Approximation Based on Asymmetric Relation
An asymmetric relation, called a weak similarity relation, is introduced as a more realistic relation in representing the relationship between two...
-
Connectionist Fuzzy Relational Systems
There have been an enormous number of fuzzy systems developed so far. For excellent surveys the reader is referred to [1][3][5][7][9][10][18][19]....

7 Concluding Remarks
As indicated in the Chapter 1, the objectives of this monograph were to present a unified framework for combining compliant motion control,...
-
Fuzzy Logic Control in Hybrid Power Systems
In this chapter the dynamic analysis of a hybrid power system, employing diesel and locally available wind and solar energies, is discussed and...
-
9 The Goldstone Theorem
The mechanism of SSB does not only provide a general strategy for unifying the description of apparently different systems, but it also provide...
-
Introduction to Part II
These notes arose from courses given at the International School for Advanced Studies (Trieste) and at the Scuola Normale Superiore (Pisa) in various...

Dynamical Theory of Parametric X-ray Radiation
Previous chapters demonstrate a close analogue between the theory of parametric X-ray radiation (PXR) in thin crystals and the kinematic theory of...
