Contrôle par rotation ou par aspiration de l'écoulement autour d'un cylindre calculé par Simulation des Grandes Échelles

Control of the flow around a circular cylinder is studied using Large Eddy Simulation. The influence of control by rotation and suction on the flow characteristics is considered for several Reynolds numbers. Comparisons with experiments were conducted at $\mathit{Re}={10}^5$ for the flow with and without control. A drag reduction up to 30% is obtained for an usual suction intensity.

Copper-Photocatalyzed Borylation of Organic Halides under Batch and Continuous-Flow Conditions

The copper-photocatalyzed borylation of aryl, heteroaryl, vinyl and alkyl halides (I and Br) was reported. The reaction proceeded using a new heteroleptic Cu complex under irradiation with blue LEDs, giving the corresponding boronic-acid esters in good to excellent yields. The reaction was extended to continuous-flow conditions to allow an easy scale-up. The mechanism of the reaction was studied and a mechanism based on a reductive quenching (Cu^I/Cu^I*/Cu⁰) was suggested.     

Coumarinylmethyl Caging Groups with Redshifted Absorption

The small and synthetically easily accessible coumarinylmethyl backbone has been modified to generate a family of photolabile protecting groups with redshifted absorption. We relied on introducing electron‐donating groups in the 7 position and electron‐withdrawing groups in the 2‐, and 2‐ and 3 positions. In particular, we showed that the diethylamino‐thiocoumarylmethyl and the diethylamino‐coumarylidenemalononitrilemethyl are relevant for uncaging with cyan light. They both exhibit a significant action cross section for uncaging in the 470–500 nm wavelength range and a low light absorption between 350 and 400 nm. These attractive features are favorable to perform chromatic orthogonal photoactivation with UV and blue‐cyan light sources, respectively.     

Zn, Ti and Si nanowires by electrodeposition in ionic liquid

An electrochemical route for the fabrication of zinc, titanium and silicon nanowires from ionic liquid (IL) based plating solutions is presented. Thanks to the large potential window of IL and good solubility of the corresponding anhydrous chloride salts, the presented method proceeds by a kinetically controlled electrochemical decoration of step-edges at highly oriented pyrolytic graphite surface. Resulting rather crystalline nanowires are more than a few hundreds of μm long while their diameter can be controlled in the 10 to 100 nm range by the electrolysis duration.     

A Convenient Synthesis of (S)-(+)-2-(2-Methoxyphenyl) Propanoic Acid

a short, convenient and large scale synthesis of (S)-(+)-2-(2-methoxyphenyl) propanoic acid, involving a resolution of the corresponding racemic acid with quinine, is reported.     

Liquid crystal polysiloxane networks as materials for molecular imprinting technology: memory of the mesomorphic organization

A novel approach to the synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers via non-covalent linkages has been studied. It relies on the use of thermotropic side group liquid crystal polymer networks. The polysiloxane networks obtained after extraction of the template preserved the mesomorphic organization set up in the presence of the guest molecule. A first batch rebinding analysis was performed: this study revealed that the imprinted polymer has a much greater affinity for the template molecule than has the non-imprinted polymer, and a significant selectivity.     

Magnetization reversal of a single cobalt cluster using a RF field pulse

Technological improvements require the understanding of dynamical magnetization reversal processes at the nanosecond time scales. In this paper, we present the first magnetization reversal measurements performed on a single cobalt cluster (counting only a thousand of spins), using the micro-superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) technique by applying a constant magnetic field combined with a radio-frequency (RF) field pulse. First of all, we present the different technical steps necessary to detect the magnetic reversals at low temperature (T=35 mK) of a well-defined nanoparticle prepared by low energy clusters beam deposition (LECBD). We previously showed that the three-dimensional (3D)-switching Stoner-Wohlfarth astroid represents the magnetic anisotropy of the nanoparticle. Then, an improved device coupled with a gold stripe line, allow us to reverse such macrospin, using a RF pulse. A qualitative understanding of the magnetization reversal by non-linear resonance has been obtained with the Landau-Lifschitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation.

Measurement of textile materials thermal properties

The determination of thermal properties of textile materials is difficult and subject to errors. Here we used two experimental methods. A PhotoPyroElectric method (Front PPE configuration with a modulated heat flow imposed on the surface of the sensor) and a commercial device (Alambeta) based the hot plate method. Two theorical approaches for the latter device were used. We tested the two methods on different textile materials (cotton, modal, wool and spacer). We observe good agreement between thermal conductivities measured with the two methods.
