Abstract:

The term “soft matter” applies to a variety of physical systems, such as liquids, colloids, polymers, foams, gels, and granular materials. The most fascinating aspect of soft matter lies in the fact that they are not atomic or molecular in nature. They are instead macromolecular aggregates, whose spatial extent lies in the domain 1 nm to 1 ¹m. Some of the most important examples of soft matter are polymers, which exhibit intriguing and useful physical properties. In this work, the adsorption and self assembly of linear and star polymers on smooth surfaces are studied using coarse-grained, bead

Abstract:

This thesis describes the design and characterisation of self-assembled systems that employ Coulombic interactions as the primary means for driving assembly. Hierarchical self-assembly is sought in three different areas: mesoporous materials, two-dimensional polymers, and peptide fibres. Chapter 1 presents a general introduction to the rationale for using self-assembly to achieve nanotechnology, the basic principles of self-assembly, and an introduction to charge-based assembly, mesoporous materials, two dimensional polymers, and peptide fibres. Chapter 2 describes a new method to synthesise m

Abstract:

Nanomaterials produced by molecular self-assembly has become one of the emerging technologies for the development of materials for the food, cosmetic and biotechnology industries. These materials exploit the unique properties of their molecular building blocks, which include natural molecules, such as peptides. Using the entire library of amino acids, consisting of 20 residues that are conserved across all life forms, a range of different materials can be created, such as hydrogels, emulsions, etc. However, such materials are normally found serendipitously or by complex molecular design and th

Abstract:

The fullerene cage provides an ideal, isolated environment for trapping spin active atoms such as nitrogen or phosphorous. Alignment of these endohedral fullerenes in linear arrays would have applications in quantum computing as the interactions between spin-active molecules can be easily controlled. Self-assembled molecular networks such as block copolymers, Langmuir-Blodgett films, and self-assembled monolayers are ideal for this purpose as the spacing and geometry can be easily tuned.

Self-assembly of colloidal particles into ordered structures is hailed as the preferred route to production of functional devices on the nanometre and micron length scales.

The effect of particle shape is isolated by using computer simulations to model particles as hard, anisotropic bodies which interact via purely repulsive interactions. Two particle

Abstract:

Cette thèse de philosophie politique s'intéresse à l'Athènes des historiens, dont les débats et les avancées théoriques depuis une trentaine d'années jettent une lumière nouvelle sur certains aspects de la démocratie athénienne, envisagée comme un système à la fois institutionnel, social et épistémique. La réception inaboutie, par la théorie politique, de ces déplacements du côté de l'historiographie de l'Athènes classique est l'un des deux constats initiaux ayant donné lieu à ce projet de thèse. L'autre constat se situe de plain-pied dans le XXIe siècle, à l'intersection entre, d'un côté, un

Abstract:

In recent years there has been much interest in the self-assembly of materials. Much of this research has been focused on the self-assembly of particles in solution (colloids), typically on the order of nanometres or micrometres in size. While it is easy to imagine the self-assembly of either irregularly shaped particles, or particles under an anisotropic potential, a novel class of colloids with engineerable isotropic interactions have achieved this aim. With the use of Self-Consistent Field Theory (SCFT), a mean-field model first developed for polymer melt systems, we develop a model for a

Abstract:

The assembly process is one of the most time consuming and expensive manufacturing activities. The cost of assembly on an average is 10-30% of the manufacturing cost of a commercial product. The ratio between cost and performance of assembly has gradually increased with respect to the other phases of the manufacturing process and in recent years, this fact has caused a growing interest by industry in this area. Robotic assembly system which comes under the automated assembly system ncorporates the use of robots for performing the necessary assembly tasks. This is one of the most flexible asse

Abstract:

Biodegradable hydrogels show great promise in the area of biomaterials and specifically for tissue engineering applications. While much work in the past has studied the various biochemical signals associated with cell growth, more recent work has highlighted the importance of the mechanical environment as a stimulus for growth. This dissertation focuses on associative network hydrogels formed for poly(lactide)-b-poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(lactide) [PLA-PEO-PLA] triblock copolymers and the factors that influence their mechanical properties, assembly, and structure. By controlling the stereospe

In the real industrial environment, however, many uncertainties do exist. Therefore, an effective management and control model must consider those uncertain factors. 　　Considering the uncertainty, this study applied the Fuzzy Theory to handle those uncertain factors for supplier selection.

Abstract:

It is evident that current encapsulation methods involve a great amount of energy and materials to produce perfume carriers contained in home- and beauty-care products. Additionally, the deposition and retention of perfumes on target surfaces remains a challenge in cleaning processes as substrates are subjected to multiple rinses during the washing procedure. Therefore, the development of a new encapsulation technology presenting an improved sustainability profile and able to efficiently deliver perfumes on surfaces would contribute to a more effective use of materials, thus significantly lowe

Abstract:

Nature implements the route of self-assembly in several fundamental processes. Researchers around the globe are always fascinated by the subtle and intricate mysteries of Nature. They try to mimic natural ways by building supramolecular self-assembly of molecules, which bear resemblance to those occurring in Nature. In this regard, amphiphilic molecules comprised of polar hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail self assembles in water to form different supramolecular structures. These structures are widely diverse and are utilized to understand structurefunction relation of biological processes.
