We analyze analytically and numerically the dynamics of how a nematic elastomer-an anisotropic rubber-responds elastically and orientationally to an imposed strain. Because positional and orientational degrees of freedom are coupled, the response is not the simple exponential one might expect for a viscous system. Indeed, as a result of this nonlinear coupling, the different modes decay in two qualitatively different ways: with either two distinct or with the same exponential laws, depending, respectively, on whether there is or there is not complete reorientation of the molecular long axes. In addition, at the special values of the strain that form the boundaries between different equilibrium behaviors, relaxation is much slower, i.e., it follows a power law. 相似文献
A static, plane-symmetric scalar field of long range is considered in general relativity, and a one-parameter class of exact solutions with cosmical time is studied in harmonic coordinates. The geodetic equations are solved. A velocity-dependent acceleration field is found, acting attractively on the component of the velocity normal to the plane of symmetry, and repulsively on the component parallel to that plane. The manifold is complete. Test particles at rest are insensitive to it. 相似文献

Novel tetraethyl ethylene‐1,1‐bisphosphonate esters derived from 1H‐indazole, 1H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridine, and 1H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐b]quinoline were synthesized by a Michael addition reaction of tetraethyl ethylidene‐1,1‐bisphosphonate with the corresponding heterocycle, using conventional heating and microwave‐assisted methods. The microwave‐assisted method provides shorter reaction times and better yields. The hydrolysis of bisphosphonates afforded the corresponding bisphosphonic acids or salt, using concentrated hydrochloric acid or TMSBr/collidine, respectively. All new compounds were fully characterized, and their structures were assigned using 1H, 31P, and 13C NMR and IR spectroscopies and mass spectrometry. The molecular structure of compound 6 was confirmed by X‐ray diffraction studies. 相似文献
The purpose of this study was to prepare and characterize a controlled release system based on porous silica loaded with chlorhexidine (Cx) and its inclusion compounds in β-cyclodextrin (βcd), and to evaluate its antimicrobial activity. Acetate chlorhexidine (CxA), gluconate chlorhexidine (CxG), βcd:chlorhexidine acetate 2:1 (βcd:CxA) and βcd:chlorhexidine gluconate 2:1 (βcd:CxG) were incorporated into porous silica. Drug loading was characterized by FTIR, powder X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis and BET, and was shown to be in an amorphous state and porous matrix. The kinetics release parameter of the drug was established, which showed that the Cx systems release profile followed zero order release until 400 h and Higuchi model release until 750 h, after the burst effect at the first 8 h. Chlorhexidine therapeutic range was reached near first hour for all systems. The chlorhexidine porous silica system was biologically active against Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans in vitro. The systems showed an efficient Cx controlled release modulated by the presence of the β-cyclodextrin and by the porous silica matrices, providing effective antimicrobial activity. 相似文献
S‐Layer proteins are an example of bionanostructures that can be exploited in nanofabrication. In addition to their ordered structure, the ability to self‐assembly is a key feature that makes them a promising technological tool. Here, in vitro self‐assembly kinetics of SpbA was investigated, and found that it occurs at a rate that is dependent on temperature, its concentration, and the concentration of calcium ions and sodium chloride. The activation enthalpy (120.81 kJ · mol?1) and entropy (129.34 J · mol?1 · K?1) obtained infers that the incorporation of monomers incurs in a net loss of hydrophobic surface. By understanding how the protein monomers drive the self‐assembly at different conditions, the rational optimization of this process was feasible.
