Naturally Derived Allylated Gallic Acid for Interfacially Polymerized Membranes

Self-avoiding Polymerized Membranes

Recent progresses in the understanding of the scaling behavior of self-avoiding flexible polymerized membranes (tethered manifolds) are reviewed (joint works with B. Duplantier and E. Guitter, and with K. Wiese). They rely on a new general renormalization group approach for a class of models with non-local singular interactions. This approach allows to prove the existence of a ǫ-expansion for t...

Thermodynamical behavior of polymerized membranes

Gallic acid

Anhydrous 3,4,5-trihy-droxy-benzoic acid, C(7)H(6)O(5), is essentially planar, with its non-H atoms exhibiting mean and maximum deviations from coplanarity of 0.014 and 0.0377 (5) Å, respectively. The C-C-C-OH torsion angle about the bond linking the carboxyl group to the benzene ring is -0.33 (10)°. In the crystal, the -COOH groups form centrosymmetric hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimers [graph set ...

Anisotropic and Heterogeneous Polymerized Membranes

In these lectures I describe long scale properties of fluctuating polymerized membranes in the presence of network anisotropy and random heterogeneities. Amazingly, even infinitesimal amount of these seemingly innocuous but physically important ingredients in the membrane’s internal structure leads to a wealth of striking qualitatively new phenomena. Anisotropy leads to a “tubule” phase that is...

Gallic acid pyridine monosolvate

IN THE TITLE COMPOUND (SYSTENATIC NAME: 3,4,5-trihy-droxy-benzoic acid pyridine monosolvate), C(5)H(5)N·C(7)H(6)O(5), the gallic acid mol-ecule is essentially planar (r.m.s deviation = 0.0766 Å for non-H atoms) and is linked to the pyridine mol-ecule by an O-H⋯N hydrogen bond. An intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs in the gallic acid mol-ecule. The gallic acid and pyridine mean planes ma...
