  2. 1. Liquid Crystalline SIloxane Dimers - Advanced Materials with Enhanced Properties

    Author : Nils Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; 45 degree tilt angle; dimer; antiferroelectric; fluorinated; siloxane; polymer; liquid crystal; macrocycle; ferroelectric;

    Abstract : The liquid crystal state is a complex state with many kinds of different molecular attractive and repulsive forces that results in various kinds of phases. Since the pioneering works by Vorländer in the early 20th century, liquid crystal research has to a great extent been depending on careful systematic studies of the structure/property relationships in series of similar liquid crystalline materials.

  4. 2. Hydrophobic Impregnation of Concrete Structures : Effects on Concrete Properties

    Author : Anders Selander; Johan Silfwerbrand; Jan Trägårdh; Mårten Janz; Andreas Gerdes; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; hydrophobic impregnation; silane; siloxane; concrete; surface treatment; water repellent agent; building protection; impregnering; betong; silan; siloxan; ytbehandling; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

    Abstract : Hydrophobic impregnations often referred to as water repellent agents, today mainly consisting of alkylalkoxysilanes, are often used on concrete to prolong the service life of the structure. This is accomplished by protecting the reinforcement bars from chlorides or by changing the moisture content inside. READ MORE

  5. 3. Mineral dissolution from molecular to field scale

    Author : Heléne Strandh; William H. Casey; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mineralogy; Petrology and Geochemistry; mineralogi; petrologi och geokemi;

    Abstract : Mineral reactivity contributes to the global biogeochemical cycling of elements. CO2is consumed during the chemical weathering of many silicates and during formation of carbonates in the oceans. READ MORE

  6. 4. Microstructures for Chemical Analysis : Design, Fabrication and Characterisation

    Author : Malin Svedberg; Fredrik Nikolajeff; Greger Thornell; Jan-Åke Schweitz; Sami Franssila; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Materials science; electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry; polymer microfabrication; paraffin actuators; hot embossing; Materialvetenskap; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : The interest for miniaturisation in chemical and biological analysis has increased in recent years. In this work, the design, fabrication and characterisation of tools for microanalysis have been studied. The focus is set on polymer microchips for applications in chemical analysis. READ MORE

  7. 5. On the Control of Nematic Liquid Crystal Alignment

    Author : Rasha Mohamed Ata Alla; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are incorporated in a great variety of electronic devices such as laptops, mobile phones, TV sets, etc. The performance of LCDs depends strongly on the alignment of liquid crystal and therefore the reliable control of the alignment parameters, such as pretilt and anchoring strength, is of vital importance for the LCD industry.
