We use nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the structural properties of an oriented melt of n-eicosane under steady-state planar elongational flow. The flow-induced structure was evaluated using the structure factor s(k) taken as the Fourier transform of the total

In 1979, Miller and Patel showed that a solution containing two diacetylene monomers, 2,4-hexadiyne-1,6-bis(phenylurethane) (HDDPU) and 2,4-hexadiyne-1,6-bis(p-chlorophenylurethane) (HDDCPU) could be used to develop latent fingermarks on a non-porous surface. In the current work, the same mixture (HDDPU:HDDCPU=10:1, in acetone solution)

Primitive wax refining techniques had resulted in almost 50,000 tonnes of acidic oily sludge (pH 1-3) being accumulated inside the Digboi refinery premises in Assam state, northeast India. A novel yeast species Candida digboiensis TERI ASN6 was obtained that could

Existing encapsulated organic phase change materials (PCM) usually contain a shell material that possesses a poor heat storage capacity and so results in a lowered latent heat storage density of the encapsulated PCM compared to unencapsulated PCM. Here, we demonstrate

Recently, it has been reported that n-alkanes are principal components of diesel exhaust nanoparticles. We investigated the effects of n-alkanes on the surface activity of a pulmonary surfactant monolayer using both fresh surfactant isolated from mouse lungs, and 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC)
