The ruthenium(II) complex [(η6-p-cymene)Ru(Cl)(8-amino quinoline)] and [η6-p-cymene)Ru(OH2)(8-amino quinoline)] were synthesised, charactrised, and used to prepare novel ruthenium(II) based Dowex resin polymer [(η6-p-cymene)Ru(Cl / or OH2)(8-amino quinoline)]@Dowex. The ruthenium(II) comlex based Dowex catalyst is synthesisedby treatment of [(η6-p-...

Polymer injection is used in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) when an oil field ages and the pressure in the reservoir decreases, or for oil fields with heavy oil. By polymer injection, the viscosity of the water injected for pressure support is increased by mixing with a high concentration of a polymer solution. Polymers used in EOR operations are ofte...

Computer fluid dynamics simulations of dynamic wetting are often performed using a slip model on the substrate. In previous studies, the generalized Navier boundary condition (GNBC) has shown promising results and could help clear the gap between molecular and continuum scales, but lacks quantitative comparisons to experiments. We seek to investiga...

In this work, experimental observations of the microstructure of neutralized polyacrylic acid (Carbopol) in water by confocal microscopy under both static and flow conditions are presented. In the former case, a Carbopol-rich phase made by swollen particles dispersed in a water-rich continuous phase is found, so that the system will be henceforth r...

Molecular dynamics simulation were employed to investigate the effect of changing the potential energies describing primary and secondary bonds on the Young’s modulus of a polymer. The energies were changed by arbitrarily modifying the parameters of the potential energy model function. The parameters influence the structure of the polymer and its g...

The low shear rate interfacial slip behaviors of nonentangled bead–spring polymer melts are firstly simulated using a multiscale method without constitutive relations and wall slip hypotheses. Two orders of magnitude less computation compared with pure molecular dynamics simulations offers the present multiscale method unique capability to resolve ...

Issues of fossil fuel and plastic pollution are shifting public demand toward biopolymer-based textiles. For instance, silk, which has been traditionally used during at least 5 milleniums in China, is re-emerging in research and industry with the development of high-tech spinning methods. Various arthropods, e.g. insects and arachnids, produce silk...
