A spherical model with directional interactions. I. Static properties.
We introduce a simple spherical model whose structural properties are similar to the ones generated by models with directional interactions, by employing a binary mixture of large and small hard spheres, with a square-well attraction acting only between particles of different sizes. The small particles provide the bonds between the large ones. With a proper choice of the interaction parameters,...
متن کاملSupramolecular self-assemblies for bacterial cell agglutination driven by directional charge-transfer interactions.
Two supramolecular amphiphiles are fabricated through directional charge-transfer interactions, which self-assemble into nanofibers and nanoribbons. Due to the existence of galactose on their surface, these self-assemblies act as a cell glue to agglutinate E. coli, benefiting from multivalent interactions.
متن کاملNon-spherical dust driven winds of slowly rotating AGB stars
We propose a new mechanism to explain an asymmetric mass loss for C-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB)stars based on the effect how rotation modifies dust driven winds. Even small deviations from spherical symmetry introduced by slow rotations are amplified in the zone of dust condensation due to the non-linear behaviour and the strong temperature and density dependence of the dust formation pr...
متن کاملAromatic donor-acceptor interactions in non-polar environments.
We have evaluated the strength of aromatic donor-acceptor interactions between dialkyl naphthalenediimide and dialkoxynaphthalene in non-polar environments. (1)H NMR, UV-vis spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry were used to characterise this interaction. We concluded that the strength of donor-acceptor interactions in heptane is sufficient to drive supramolecular assemblies in this...
متن کاملPolymersomes.
Polymersomes are self-assembled polymer shells composed of block copolymer amphiphiles. These synthetic amphiphiles have amphiphilicity similar to lipids, but they have much larger molecular weights, so for this reason--along with others reviewed here--comparisons of polymersomes with viral capsids composed of large polypeptide chains are highly appropriate. We summarize the wide range of polym...
