We consider partially directed walks crossing a L × L square weighted according to their length by a fugacity t. The exact solution of this model is computed in three different ways, depending on whether t is less than, equal to or greater than 1. In all cases a complete expression for the dominant asymptotic behaviour of the partition function is ...

We present an experimental and theoretical investigation of the optical diffractive properties of electrically tuneable optical transmission gratings assembled as stacks of periodic slices from a conventional nematic liquid crystal (E7) and a standard photoresist polymer (SU-8). The external electric field causes a twist-type reorientation of the L...

High voltage outdoor insulation systems are conventionally ceramics and glass with several advantages, such as proven in the field, excellent dielectric properties, durability, and long life. However, they are heavy, attract vandals and break easily, and they can lose their dielectric properties easily when subjected to high voltage transients, arc...

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been at the forefront of nanotechnological research for the past decade owing to their high porosity, high surface area, diverse configurations, and controllable chemical structures. They are a rapidly developing class of nanomaterials that are predominantly applied in batteries, supercapacitors, electrocatalysi...

Organic film capacitors have incredibly high power density and have an irreplaceable position in pulsed power systems, high-voltage power transmission networks and other fields. At present, the energy storage density and energy storage efficiency of organic film capacitors are relatively low, resulting in excessive equipment volume. The performance...

The production of plastic materials has experienced incredible growth over the past decades. Polyethylene constitutes the largest part (25%) of plastic production, finding its application mostly as film in industrial and food packaging and agricultural use. However, since packaging materials are getting increasingly complex, polyethylene waste is n...

We investigate knotting probabilities of long double-stranded DNA strands in a coarse-grained Kratky-Porod model for DNA with Monte Carlo simulations. Various ionic conditions are implemented by adjusting the effective diameter of monomers. We find that the occurrence of knots in DNA can be reinforced considerably by high salt conditions and confin...

Za izdelavo funkcionalnih senzoričnih sistemov potrebujemo materiale s tremi različnimi lastnostmi, to so strukturni, senzorični in prevodni materiali. Strukturni material je neprevodni polimer, ki senzoričnemu sistemu nudi trdnost in togost. Senzorni material je običajno material na osnovi ogljika, kot so na primer grafen, saje in ogljikove nanoce...

Ogljikove nanocevke predstavljajo superiorna multifunkcijska nanopolnila v polimernih nanokompozitih, saj omogočajo odlično mehansko ojačitev, električno prevodnost in druge podobne lastnosti. Z uporabo nanoindentorja smo v sklopu diplomskega dela obravnavali vpliv koncentracije eno-stenskih ogljikovih nanocevk na mehansko ojačitev polimernih nanok...

The conversion of polymer waste, food waste, and biomasses through thermochemical decomposition to fuels, syngas, and solid phase, named char/biochar particles, gives a second life to these waste materials, and this process has been widely investigated in the last two decades. The main thermochemical decomposition processes that have been explored ...
