Inverse Density Functional Theory As An Interpretive Tool For Measuring Colloid-Surface Interactions In Dense Systems, David M. Ford, Mingqing Lu, Michael A. Bevan
Inverse Density Functional Theory As An Interpretive Tool For Measuring Colloid-Surface Interactions In Dense Systems, David M. Ford, Mingqing Lu, Michael A. Bevan
David M Ford
Recent advances in optical microscopy, such as total internal reflection and confocal scanning laser techniques, now permit the direct three-dimensional tracking of large numbers of colloidal particles both near and far from interfaces. A novel application of this technology, currently being developed by one of the authors under the name of diffusing colloidal probe microscopy (DCPM), is to use colloidal particles as probes of the energetic characteristics of a surface. A major theoretical challenge in implementing DCPM is to obtain the potential energy of a single particle in the external field created by the surface, from the measured particle trajectories …

Experimental And Dft Studies Of The Conversion Of Ethanol And Acetic Acid On Ptsn-Based Catalysts, George W. Huber, R. Acal, J. W. Shabaker, M. A. Sanchez-Castillo, J. A. Dumesic
George W. Huber
Reaction kinetics studies were conducted for the conversions of ethanol and acetic acid over silica-supported Pt and Pt/Sn catalysts at temperatures from 500 to 600 K. Addition of Sn to Pt catalysts inhibits the decomposition of ethanol to CO, CH4, and C2H6, such that PtSn-based catalysts are active for dehydrogenation of ethanol to acetaldehyde. Furthermore, PtSn-based catalysts are selective for the conversion of acetic acid to ethanol, acetaldehyde, and ethyl acetate, whereas Pt catalysts lead mainly to decomposition products such as CH4 and CO. These results are interpreted using density functional theory (DFT) calculations for various adsorbed species and transition …
Asymptotic Analysis Of Liquid Films Dip-Coated Onto Chemically Micropatterned Surfaces, Jm Davis
Asymptotic Analysis Of Liquid Films Dip-Coated Onto Chemically Micropatterned Surfaces, Jm Davis
Jeffrey M. Davis
The dip coating of chemically heterogeneous surfaces is a useful technique for attaining selective material deposition. For the case of vertical, wetting stripes surrounded by nonwetting regions, experiments have demonstrated that the thickness of the entrained film on the stripes is significantly different than on homogeneous surfaces because of the lateral confinement of the liquid. In the present work, the asymptotic matching of equations based on lubrication theory is used to determine the film thickness, and necessary restrictions on the capillary and Bond numbers are provided. The predictions are in excellent agreement with the existing experimental data, and the classical …

Surface Smoothening Mechanism Of Amorphous Silicon Thin Films, Dimitrios Maroudas, E. S. Aydil, T Bakos, M. S. Valipa

An important concern in the deposition of thin hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si∶H) films is to obtain smooth surfaces. Herein, we combine molecular-dynamics simulations with first-principles density functional theory calculations to elucidate the smoothening mechanism of plasma deposited a-Si∶H thin films. We show that the deposition precursor may diffuse rapidly on the a-Si∶H film surface via overcoordinated surface Si atoms and incorporate into the film preferentially in surface valleys, with activation barriers for incorporation dependent on the local surface morphology. Experimental data on smoothening and precursor diffusion are accounted for.
Generalized Linear Stability Of Noninertial Coating Flows Over Topographical Features, Jm Davis, Sm Troian
Generalized Linear Stability Of Noninertial Coating Flows Over Topographical Features, Jm Davis, Sm Troian
Jeffrey M. Davis
The transient evolution of perturbations to steady lubrication flow over a topographically patterned surface is investigated via a nonmodal linear stability analysis of the non-normal disturbance operator. In contrast to the capillary ridges that form near moving contact lines, the stationary capillary ridges near trenches or elevations have only stable eigenvalues. Minimal transient amplification of perturbations occurs, regardless of the magnitude or steepness of the topographical features. The absence of transient amplification and the stability of the ridge are explained on physical grounds. By comparison to unstable ridge formation on smooth, flat, and homogeneous surfaces, the lack of closed, recirculating …

Polymeric materials are important in many medical applications. Regenerative medicine offers the potential to repair or replace damaged tissue and polymers are an essential component of many tissue engineering approaches. Hydrogels have many advantageous properties but, generally, lack robust mechanical properties. At the same time, mounting evidence points to the importance of the matrix modulus when constructing devices. In this context, triblock copolymers made from poly(L-lactide)–poly(ethylene glycol)–poly(L-lactide) have been prepared and formulated into hydrogels. Investigations into their mechanical properties found the elastic modulus to be greater than 10 kPa which is at least one order of magnitude stiffer than previously …

Facially amphiphilic urea oligomers were successfully prepared in a one-pot reaction by carbonyl diimidazole (CDI) coupling and showed greater antibacterial activity against both Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis than MSI-78.
