On the Molecular Packing Density in Crystalline Polymers

Molecular Sensing by Nanoporous Crystalline Polymers

Chemical sensors are generally based on the integration of suitable sensitive layers and transducing mechanisms. Although inorganic porous materials can be effective, there is significant interest in the use of polymeric materials because of their easy fabrication process, lower costs and mechanical flexibility. However, porous polymeric absorbents are generally amorphous and hence present poor...

A quasi-crystalline sphere-packing with unexpected high density

the effect of traffic density on the accident externality from driving the case study of tehran

در این پژوهش به بررسی اثر افزایش ترافیک بر روی تعداد تصادفات پرداخته شده است. به این منظور 30 تقاطع در شهر تهران بطور تصادفی انتخاب گردید و تعداد تصادفات ماهیانه در این تقاطعات در طول سالهای 89-90 از سازمان کنترل ترافیک شهر تهران استخراج گردید و با استفاده از مدل داده های تابلویی و نرم افزار eviews مدل خطی و درجه دوم تخمین زده شد و در نهایت این نتیجه حاصل شد که تقاطعات پر ترافیک تر تعداد تصادفا...

Molecular organization in side chain liquid crystalline polymers

2014 We have synthesized a series of side chain liquid crystalline polymers which differ only by the terminal end group of the mesogenic moieties. X-ray diffraction experiments show the existence of a lower temperature smectic A phase following the nematic phase, while optical microscopy was not able to show smectic A characteristic textures. The diffraction patterns give information about the ...

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Main Chain Liquid Crystalline Polymers

Molecular dynamics simulations of a model main-chain liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP), and a low molecular weight analogue, have been carried out using an efficient parallel algorithm. Amain-chain LCP is formed with the help of Gay-Berne mesogenic units connected to each other through flexible methylene spacers. We have studied the effect of varying the spacer length, and have examined the regi...
