Phase Ordering of Marginally Flexible Linear Micelles
نویسنده
چکیده
A second virial theory of the isotropic-to-nematic phase transition in solutions of slightly flexible micelles is presented. It is shown that even a infinitesimal flexibility of the micelles can suppress the divergences one would obtain when modeling the micelles as infinitely

EVALUATION OF THE USE OF ANIONIC/ NONIONIC MIXED MICELLES IN REVERSED PHASE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY OF CHLOROPHENOLS
The use of aqueous mixed micellar system consisting of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and polyoxyethylene (23) dodecanol (Brij-35) as the mobile phase in reversed-phase liquid chromatography was studied. A group of chlorophenols was used as the test mixture. Adding organic modifier to the system showed that the use of low concentrations of organic additives improves efficiency in SDS/Brij-35 mixe...
متن کاملA goal programming approach for fuzzy flexible linear programming problems
We are concerned with solving Fuzzy Flexible Linear Programming (FFLP) problems. Even though, this model is very practical and is useful for many applications, but there are only a few methods for its situation. In most approaches proposed in the literature, the solution process needs at least, two phases where each phase needs to solve a linear programming problem. Here, we propose a method t...
متن کاملLong-lived metastable bcc phase during ordering of micelles.
We report a metastable bcc phase that intervenes between a disordered micellar suspension and an fcc crystal in a block copolymer solution. Upon heating, the metastable bcc phase nucleates first, and then transforms over the course of hours to the stable fcc phase. At still higher temperatures, the fcc phase transforms to an equilibrium bcc phase. These results constitute an interesting experim...
متن کاملApplying unequal error protection in H.264 by means of flexible macroblock ordering
In this paper, an enhanced error protection scheme using flexible macroblock ordering in H.264/AVC is proposed. The algorithm uses a two-phase system. In the first phase, the importance of every macroblock is calculated based on its influence on the current frame and future frames. In the second phase, the macroblocks with the highest impact factor are grouped together in a separate slice group...
متن کاملShear ordering in thin films of spherical block copolymer.
We have investigated shear-induced alignment of a bilayer of spherical diblock copolymer micelles within thin films using molecular dynamics simulations at two different levels of coarse-graining. At the microscopic level, the copolymers are modeled as bead and spring chains with specific interaction potentials which produce strongly segregated spherical micelles. The simulations qualitatively ...
