The research activities are focused on modeling of polymeric liquid crystal (LCP) flows. We first summarizes our comprehensive studies on the shear and elongational flow with an imposed velocity field. This includes a complete characterization of the orientational equilibria and their bifurcation behavior as well as the detailed study on the orientation dynamics with respect to both types of fl...

A new, simple and rapid method based on the principle of liquid-liquid phase equilibria has been developed for the analysis of binary mixtures of chemically similar organic compounds. The method does not require elaborate instrumentation and can be used to analyse mixtures of members of homologous series. The application of the method has been illustrated by analysing binary mixtures of n-hexan...

systematic studies on the vapor-liquid equilibria (vle) and conductometric properties of aqueous solutions of model surface-active ionic liquid 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([c12mim]br) are performed in the absence and presence of a large series of electrolytes in order to achieve a deeper understanding about the molecular mechanism behind the specific salt effect on the aggregation be...

Reverse micellar systems are nanofluids with unique properties that make them attractive in high selectivity separation processes, especially for biological compounds. Understanding the phase behavior and thermodynamic properties of these nanosystems is the first step in process design. Separation of components by these nanosystems is performed upon contact of aqueous and reverse micellar phase...
