Intermolecular Interactions via Perturbation Theory: From Diatoms to Biomolecules

This article is devoted to the most recent, i.e. taking place within the last few years, theoretical developments in the field of intermolecular interactions. The most important advancement during this time period was the creation of a new version of symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) which is based on the density-functional theory (DFT) description of monomers. This method, which will...

Tuning intermolecular interactions in a rodlike polymer assembled at surfaces and in solution.

The isolation of single polyelectrolyte chains of water-soluble poly(isocyanodipeptide)s (PICs) bearing carboxylic acid terminated side chains occurring both at surfaces and in solution was accomplished by reducing the intermolecular interactions through complexation with cations or positively charged surfactants. Scanning force microscopy and viscosity analyses revealed that this method allows...

High hydrostatic pressure

The use of high pressure processing (HPP) in the food industry was developed as an alternative to common thermal processes, such as pasteurization and sterilization, to produce a microbiologically safe food while avoiding and reducing undesirable changes in sensory, physiochemical and nutritional properties of foods. The use of high pressure at high temperatures as a tool for sterilization (hig...
