Excluded-volume polymer-induced depletion interaction between parallel flat platesThe European Physical Journal E - Tập 6 - Trang 129-132 - 2001
R. Tuinier, H.N.W. Lekkerkerker
The interaction between two parallel plates due to non-adsorbing polymer chains
with excluded volume is calculated using the adsorption method. The adsorption
is calculated from the profile of the polymer segment concentration between the
plates, which is obtained from the product function of the concentration profile
near a single wall, involving the correlation length. The renormalization group

Influence of shear on polypropylene crystallization kineticsThe European Physical Journal E - Tập 15 - Trang 167-175 - 2004
Hong Huo, Yanfeng Meng, Hongfei Li, Shichun Jiang, Lijia An
Isothermal crystallization kinetics under shear in the melt of iPP was
investigated by optical microscopy. It appears that shearing from 200 to the
crystallization temperatures enhanced the kinetics, but the shear effect was not
obvious if the melt of iPP was sheared only at 200. The experiment results show
that relaxation plays an important role during crystallization, and that
spherulite growth ... hiện toàn bộ
Definition of frame-invariant thermodiffusion and Soret coefficients for ternary mixturesThe European Physical Journal E - Tập 42 - Trang 1-8 - 2019
José M. Ortiz de Zárate
The definitions of thermodiffusion and Soret coefficients for a binary mixture
include a concentration prefactor x(1 - x), when mole fraction x is used, or w(1
- w), when mass fraction w is used. In this paper the physical reasons behind
this choice are reviewed, emphasizing that the use of these prefactors makes the
thermodiffusion and the Soret coefficients invariant upon changing in the
concent... hiện toàn bộ
Molecular dynamics of hyperbranched polyesters in the confinement of thin filmsThe European Physical Journal E - Tập 17 - Trang 199-202 - 2005
A. Serghei, Y. Mikhailova, H. Huth, C. Schick, K. -J. Eichhorn, B. Voit, F. Kremer
Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy is employed to investigate the molecular
dynamics in thin films of hyperbranched polyesters (type AB1B2, with -OH and
-OCOCH3 as terminal groups). Three relaxation processes are detected: alpha,
beta and gamma. While the latter two are not influenced by the confinement, a
pronounced effect is observed on the alpha relaxation: with decreasing film
thickness the slo... hiện toàn bộ
The role of the amorphous phase in the re-crystallization process of cold-crystallized poly(ethylene terephthalate)The European Physical Journal E - Tập 27 - Trang 365-373 - 2008
M. Pieruccini, A. Flores, U. Nöchel, G. Di Marco, N. Stribeck, F. J. Baltá Calleja
The process of re-crystallization in poly(ethylene terephthalate) is studied by
means of X-ray diffraction (SAXS and WAXS) and dynamical mechanical thermal
analysis. Samples cold-crystallized for 9h at the temperatures T c = 100
fcir#circ;C and T c = 160 fcir#circ;C, i.e. in the middle of the $ \alpha$
relaxation region and close to its upper bound, respectively, are analyzed.

Correlation effects, image charge effects and finite size in the macro-ion-electrolyte system: A field-theoretic approachThe European Physical Journal E - Tập 28 - Trang 419-440 - 2009
D. J. Lee
We consider a model of a macro-ion surrounded by small ions of an electrolyte
solution. The finite size of ionic charge distributions of ions, and image
charge effects are considered. From such a model it is possible to construct a
statistical field theory with a single fluctuating field and derive physical
interpretations for both the mean field and two-point correlation function. For
point-like ... hiện toàn bộ
Shaping the gradients driving phoretic micro-swimmers: influence of swimming speed, budget of carbonic acid and environmentThe European Physical Journal E - Tập 44 - Trang 1-17 - 2021
Nadir Möller, Benno Liebchen, Thomas Palberg
pH gradient-driven modular micro-swimmers are investigated as a model for a
large variety of quasi-two-dimensional chemi-phoretic self-propelled entities.
Using three-channel micro-photometry, we obtain a precise large field mapping of
pH at a spatial resolution of a few microns and a pH resolution of $$\sim
0.02~\hbox {pH}$$ units for swimmers of different velocities propelling on two
