Relaxation to equilibrium can be hindered by transient dissipative structures.
Relaxation processes in a closed chemical reaction-diffusion system which can potentially form Turing-like patterns during the transient are investigated to address the question given by the title. We find that when certain conditions are fulfilled the relaxation process is indeed drastically hindered, once the pattern is formed. This slowing down is shown to be due to stepwise relaxation, wher...
متن کاملUltralong cylindrical micelles precisely located with semiconductor nanorods by solvent evaporation-driven self-assembly.
We demonstrate the efficient incorporation of PS-tethered cadmium sulfide nanorods (PS-CdS NRs) into polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (PS-b-PEO) ultralong cylindrical micelles by solvent evaporation-driven self-assembly. The hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) was used as the surfactant in chloroform-in-water emulsions. It is a prerequisite to improve the enthalpic compatibility b...
متن کاملPreparation of candesartan and atorvastatin nanoparticles by solvent evaporation.
The solubility, absorption and distribution of a drug are involved in the basic aspects of oral bioavailability Solubility is an essential characteristic and influences the efficiency of the drug. Over the last ten years, the number of poorly soluble drugs has steadily increased. One of the progressive ways for increasing oral bioavaibility is the technique of nanoparticle preparation, which al...
متن کاملBlock Copolymer Self Assembly during Rapid Solvent Evaporation: Insights into Cylinder Growth and Stability
Solvent evaporation has proven to be a remarkably successful tool for directing self-assembly in block copolymers, yet the microscopic mechanisms, processing history dependence and macroscopic control parameters influencing pattern selection remain poorly understood. Here, we leverage dynamical field theory simulations to clarify how copolymer self-assembly proceeds during evaporation. We find ...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of multicomponent structures in and out of equilibrium.
Theories of phase change and self-assembly often invoke the idea of a "quasiequilibrium," a regime in which the nonequilibrium association of building blocks results nonetheless in a structure whose properties are determined solely by an underlying free energy landscape. Here we study a prototypical example of multicomponent self-assembly, a one-dimensional fiber grown from red and blue blocks....
