GELATION MECHANISMS
(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2012)
In this paper, we survey the gelation mechanisms for various polymeric systems which are classified by the type and the strength of the cross-linkages. These are the "irreversible" gels that are cross-linked chemically by ...
Mathematical models for phase transitions in biogels
(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2019)
It has been shown that reversible and irreversible phase transitions of biogels can be represented by epidemic models. The irreversible chemical sol-gel transitions are modeled by the Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Removed ...
A MATHEMATICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE CRITICAL POINT IN PHASE TRANSITIONS
(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2013)
Let y(x) be a smooth sigmoidal curve, y((n)) be its nth derivative and {x(m,i)} and {x(a,i)}, i = 1, 2, ... , be the set of points where respectively the derivatives of odd and even order reach their extreme values. We ...
Application of fluorescence technique for understanding film formation from polymer latexes and composites
(Elsevier, 2021)
This chapter summarizes the application of fluorescence technique to understand all aspects of film formation using both pure polymer latexes and polymer nanocomposites. Transient fluorescence, steady state fluorescence, ...
