Application of capillary electrophoresis (CE) to temperature-sensitive biomolecular interactions requires knowledge of the temperature inside the capillary. The simplest approach to finding temperature in CE employs a molecular probe with a temperature-dependent parameter. Up until now only spectral parameters of molecular probes were utilized for temperature measurements in CE. The arbitrary n...

We have established methods to evaluate key properties that are needed to commercialize polyelectrolyte membranes for fuel cell electric vehicles such as water diffusion, gas permeability, and mechanical strength. These methods are based on coarse-graining models. For calculating water diffusion and gas permeability through the membranes, the dissipative particle dynamics–Monte Carlo approach w...

Molecular diffusion of triblock copolymers poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) in water was studied with the help of Pulsed Field Gradient NMR in the broad range of polymer weight fractions from 0.09 to 0.8. Owing to amphiphilic nature of the molecules, these block copolymers exhibit rich self-organization properties when mixed with water. In particular, at ambient t...
