ABSTRACTInkjet printing of alternate layers of anionic and cationic polyelectrolytes allows organized gels to form with structures similar to those made by layer--by-layer dipping methods but very much faster. Structures of gels formed using slow and fast inkjet printing systems are compared using elemental analysis, swelling and diffusion kinetics as characterization methods. After printing and washing, most sodium or chloride counter-ions are last from the gel, leave only the polymer complex. The swelling properties of the printed and washed gel depend on the deposition rate and on the ratio of the two polymers as originally printed. The synthetic polyelectrolytes reported here can be compared with biological polyelectrolytes reported earlier by us.

The additive manufacturing technique represents a way to realize components or prototypes without the use of conventional tools.The research presented aims at proposing a methodology based on the use of three different techniques that are the poly-jet 3D using UV photo-polymerization, the FDM of polyamide materials and the FDM of PLA materials. The original data were used at the beginning with the first technique in order to detect the shape and the geometry by a 3D SCANNER. The objective was the re-building of a model shape made using a procedure in which the input file characteristics were updated starting from those got by the scanning device in order to respect the original requirements defined in the computer aided environment. It was found that the physical re-building of an object is depending the characteristics of the input file that needs to be digitally processed in order to get the desired shape and geometry. In that way also FDM using PLA and polyamide materials can be utilized to get components or prototypes from scanned digital data. The results are reported in details.

ABSTRACTMulti-functionalization of catalytically-active nanomaterials provides a valuable tool for enhancing reaction yield by shifting reaction equilibrium, and potentially also by adjusting reaction-diffusion kinetics. For example, multi-functionalization of mesoporous silica to make the interior pore surface hydrophobic can enhance yield in dehydration reactions. Detailed molecular-level modeling to describe the pore environment, as well as the reaction and diffusion kinetics is challenging, although we briefly discuss current strategies. Our focus, however, is on coarse-grained stochastic modeling of the overall catalytic process for highly restricted transport within narrow pores (with single-file diffusion), while accounting for a tunable interaction of the pore interior with reaction products. We show that making the pore interior unfavorable to products can significantly enhance yield due to both thermodynamic and kinetics factors.

Many biological soft tissues exhibit a charged solid matrix, most often due to the presence of proteoglycans enmeshed within the matrix. The predominant solute content of the interstitial fluid of these tissues consists of the monovalent counter-ions Na+ and Cl−. The electrical interactions between the mobile ion species and fixed charge density of the solid matrix produces an array of mechano-electrochemical effects, including Donnan osmotic swelling, and streaming and diffusion potentials and currents. These phenomena have been successfully modeled by the triphasic theory of Lai et al. [1], which is based on the framework of mixture theory [2]. Other similar frameworks have also been proposed [3, 4]. The equations of triphasic theory are nonlinear, even in the range of infinitesimal strains. Therefore, numerical schemes are generally needed to solve all but the simplest problems using this framework.
