Paradigms shift when solvent-less fluids come into play.

چکیده

Solvent-less organic fluids are a new class of functional soft materials. Here the available fluid matrix makes it equally competitive with the solvent assisted systems. In this Perspective, the ways in which organic fluids challenge the established and accepted paradigms is highlighted. In general, fundamental properties such as photoisomerization, energy/electron transfer, photon upconversion and reversible dioxygen binding are controlled by solvents and/or solvent polarity, the presence of oxygen etc. Here solvent-less fluids challenge the paradigms by realizing it under neat, solvent-less and ambient conditions. This new phase of research has created many potential functional materials, which work better and more efficiently compared to the solvent assisted systems. Hence this relatively new research topic and the results need special attention. Here we discuss a few representative examples to point out the challenges offered in their functioning.

Semantic Shift to Pragmatic Meaning in Shared Decision Making: Situation Theory Perspective

The way humans establish communication depends on the generation and conveyance of meaning. Linguistically, meaning in information is dependent on the meaning that is ascribed to signifiers in the context of the communication. These signifiers can include items such as words, phrases, signs, and symbols. Conveyance of meaning may, however, imprecise and prone to error. The meaning of informatio...

Supercritical Carbon Dioxide and Its Potential as a Life-Sustaining Solvent in a Planetary Environment

Supercritical fluids have different properties compared to regular fluids and could play a role as life-sustaining solvents on other worlds. Even on Earth, some bacterial species have been shown to be tolerant to supercritical fluids. The special properties of supercritical fluids, which include various types of selectivities (e.g., stereo-, regio-, and chemo-selectivity) have recently been rec...

A Methodology for Paradigm Shift to Explain Sustainable University

The sustainable university concept is rooted in prevalent paradigms pertained to economic, social and environmental development, which all focus on systemic thought and rationality; besides, they tend to  discover and solve problems by applying an interdisciplinary approach. However, the epistemic component is what these paradigms have ignored. The purpose of this study is to explain a methodo...
