Fluoropolymers are characterized by high chemical inertness and, when in solid state, by superficial dipoles due to the C-F bond where charge density is strongly displaced. These two characteristics are exploited here for fine control of charge balance in organic light-emitting devices and for preventing electrochemical interaction between heterogeneous layers. The insertion of a thin layer of ...

The dielectric boundary force (DBF) is the force that induced charges at dielectric boundaries exert on the charge that induced them. The DBF is present in any electrostatic problem with a non-uniform dielectric constant, and is important in the case of charged particles near dielectric boundaries. Yet, it is absent in common continuum theories of charge distribution and of charge transport, su...

Charge balance law based on conservation of charge is stated and employed to analyze on-chip linear, Fibonacci and exponential charge pumps. For micro-power on-chip implementations, both the positiveand the negativeplate parasitic capacitors have to be considered. Voltage conversion ratios and efficiencies can be obtained in closed form for singleand dual-branch linear charge pumps, but not for...

The formation and dynamic behavior of polyion complex-based vesicles (PICsomes) were examined under charge-balance disrupting conditions, using homo-catiomer pegylated-aniomer. Under catiomer-rich an unusual increase in the PICsome size was observed, which primarily attributed to Ostwald ripening. This growth triggered by addition a switch composition PIC membrane. results provide insight into ...

We investigate the impact of non-vanishing net-charge in collision systems on measurements balance functions and their integrals. show that nominal function definition yields integrals deviate from unity because net-charge. However, integral unified is shown to appropriately converge when measured a sufficiently wide experimental acceptance. furthermore explore rate convergence study distortion...

The objective of the present work is to evaluate the application of an amphoteric polymer, with acidic and basic groups on the polymer chain, as a paper dry strength additive. The polymer studied here is random terpolymer of high electrostatic charge density, and high molecular weight. The results of our work showed that the balance between the charge densities of the surface and the polymer st...

Chemical and isotopic analyses of geothermal water samples must meet certain levels of accuracy and reliability to be useful for identifying geochemical processes in hydrothermal systems. Quality control is largely a concern for the analytical laboratory, but the geochemist or reservoir engineer using the chemical data must also be concerned with analytical quality. To test accuracy and reliabi...
