Thermodynamic data are needed for all kind of simulations of materials processes. For example, for kinetic models thermodynamic quantities, such as chemical...
There is much research interest toward understanding the phase behavior of colloidal systems interacting with a bridging interaction, where the small solvent...
We describe a specialized, in-plane measurement technique that subjects thin sheet metal specimens to longitudinal bidirectional loading. The test provides...
We investigate the conformational state of a simple, coarsegrained molecular model for singlestranded DNA chains (ss-DNA) grafted onto spherical symmetric...
