In the present work, the sensitivity of NIR spectroscopy toward the evolution of particle size was studied during emulsion homopolymerization of styrene (Sty) and emulsion copolymerization of vinyl acetate-butyl acrylate ...

Ice and snow in the Central Andes contain significant amounts of light-absorbing particles such as black carbon. The consequent accelerated melting of the cryosphere is not only a threat from a climate perspective but ...

We study a system of self-propelled disks that perform run-and-tumble motion, where particles can adopt more than one internal state. One of those internal states can be transmitted to other particle if the particle carrying ...

This study describes the synthesis and characterization of polymer-based nanocomposites to fabricate absorber materials for solar thermal collectors. Heat generation by nanosized silver particles (NSP) under irradiation ...
