Thermo-responsive adsorbents for immunoglobulin G (IgG) employing ε-polylysine (EPL) as a polymer backbone were developed. The introduction of mercaptoethylpyridine (MEP) as an IgG-binding ligand and hydrophobization of side chains afforded thermo-responsive IgG adsorbents, whose thermo-responsive IgG desorption ratio was up to 88% (EPL/MEP derivative 3m). The changes in surface densities of ac...

The hybrid integration of polymer and silica in optical waveguides can yield devices that combine the excellent thermo-optic properties of polymers and the superior passive waveguiding properties of silica. The large difference and opposite sign of the thermo-optic coefficients of both classes of materials can be utilized to create athermal waveguide devices. In addition, it can be utilized in ...

i. Thermo-physiological comfort: achieving a comfortable thermal and humid condition in which the thermo-regulating capacity, the thermal insulation and the moisture-regulating capacity of the garment are considered as a function of environmental conditions (climate) and the working conditions (level of effort). Thermo-physiological comfort is strongly affected by the fabric, the style and the ...

In this work, nonlinear dynamics of silicon nanowire resonator considering nonlocal effect has been investigated. For the first time, dynamical parameters (e.g., resonant frequency, Duffing coefficient, and the damping ratio) that directly influence the nonlinear dynamics of the nanostructure have been derived. Subsequently, by calculating their response with the varied nonlocal coefficient, it...

The recent appearance of nonlocal methods is examined in the light of traditional continuum mechanics. A comparison of nonlocal approaches in the fields of solid and fluid mechanics reveals that no consistent definition of a nonlocal theory has been used. We suggest a definition based on the violation of the principle of local action in continuum mechanics. From the consideration of the implica...

A new calculus of nuclear liquid-gas phase transition in the standard thermostatistics is applied to the generalized thermo-statistics. Because the phase equilibrium is de…ned in terms of intensive temperature and conjugate extensive entropy, we have to solve higher-order simultaneous nonlinear equations than those in the standard thermo-statistics. The features of phase transition are essentia...

In this research static deflection and free vibration of homogeneous nanobeams coated by a functionally graded (FG) layer is investigated according to the nonlocal elasticity theory. A higher order beam theory is used that does not need the shear correction factor. The equations of motion (equilibrium equations) are extracted by using Hamilton’s principle. The material properties are considered...

In this paper, using energy method, small scale effects on the buckling analysis of a double-walled carbon nanotube (DWCNT) under external radial pressure is studied. The constitutive equations derived for a DWCNT using the nonlocal theory of elasticity which Eringen are presented for the first time. By minimizing the second variation of the total energy for a DWCNT, hence, the value of the non...

Bending, buckling and vibration behaviors of nonlocal Timoshenko beams are investigated in this research using a variational approach. At first, the governing equations of the nonlocal Timoshenko beams are obtained, and then the weak form of these equations is outlined in this paper. The Ritz technique is selected to investigate the behavior of nonlocal beams with arbitrary boundary conditions ...
