Temperature effect on drying and swelling of kappa carrageenan gels: A steady state fluorescence study
(Wiley-V C H Verlag GMBH, 2008)
A novel technique based on in situ steady state fluorescence (SSF) measurements is introduced for studying drying and swelling Of kappa(-) carrageenan (kappa carrageenan) gels at various temperatures. kappa(-) carrageenan ...
Breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein relation in supercooled liquids
(Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2004)
Breakdown of the Einstein-Stokes relation in undercooled liquids is one of the unsolved problems in the theory of liquids. The self-diffusion coefficient follows the temperature dependence of the Einstein-Stokes equation ...
Interpretation of the glass transition temperature from the point of view of molecular mobility
(Springer, 2005)
Glass transition has been one of the biggest challenges in condensed matter physics during the last century: in spite of significant progress we still cannot explain the sudden solidification of undercooled liquids on the ...
In situ fluorescence study of swelling, sorption and desorption processes in and out of PAAm gels
(Wiley-V C H Verlag GMBH, 2008-05)
Small molecule sorption and desorption in and out of polyacrylamide (PAAm) gels were studied at various temperatures. Pyranine (P(y)) dissolved in water used as a probe. Fluorescence emission intensity, I(p) from P(y) was ...
Determination of pre-gelation and post-gelation activation energies during free radical crosslinking copolymerization
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2005)
Steady-state fluorescence (SSF) and dilatoraetric techniques were used to study the free-radical crosslinking copolymerization (FCC) of styrene (S) and divinylbenzene (DVB) in bulk. The gel points (t g) were recorded by ...
Dissolution of Al2O3-polystyrene latex composites: A fluorescence study
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2005)
This work reports the use of the steady state fluorescence (SSF) technique to study dissolution of a composite film formed from a mixture of Al 2O3 and polystyrene (PS) latex particles. The composite films were cast from ...
Optically stimulated luminescence to date coastel dunes and a possible tsunami layer on the Kavak Delta (Saros Gulf, NW Turkey)
(Scientific Technical Research Council Turkey-Tubitak, 2009-01-21)
Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating was used to determine the timing of initial dune formation and reconstruct the evolution of coastal dunes that developed on the Kavak Delta, Saros Gulf, Turkey. Along a 500-mlong ...
A mean field model near the NAC point in liquid crystals
(Physical Soc Republic China, 2002-10)
In this study we obtain the phase line equations for the nematic-smectic A (NA), smectic A-smectic C (AC) and nematic-smectic C (NC) transitions using a mean field model. We fit these phase line equations to the experimental ...
Reversible film formation from PS doped PNIPAM particles in various compositions
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2008-02)
Film formation from polystyrene (PS) doped poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) particles was studied using photon transmission technique. The transmitted light intensity, Itr, was monitored during film formation process. ...
The conformal Penrose limit: back to square one
(IOP Publishing LTD, 2008-08-21)
We show that the conformal Penrose limit is an ordinary plane wave limit in a higher dimensional framework which resolves the spacetime singularity. The higher dimensional framework is provided by Ricci-flat manifolds which ...
