Coalescence is an essential phenomenon that governs the equilibrium behaviour in a variety of systems from intercellular transport to planetary formation. In this report, we study coalescence pathways of circularly shaped two-dimensional colloidal membranes, which are one rod-length-thick liquid-like monolayers of aligned rods. The chirality of the constituent rods leads to three atypical coale...

in this investigation, the mechanical properties of the blends of blown bitumen110/10, heavy vacuum slops (h.v.s), bitumen 60/70 penetration grade and isotactic polypropylene (ipp) were studied for the first time. our results showed that modulus varies non-linearly and at certain asphaltenes contents a peak appears. considering these phenomena it is revealed that in the absence of ipp, interact...
