Size of core

Fig. 11. (Left) An outer core of 16 spherons surrounding an inner core of three, in a linear arrangement. (Right) The same core with a portion of the mantle of the elongated nucleus. (The difference in relative sizes of core and mantle spherons is exaggerated in this and some of the other figures.)...

Gohy et al. studied the solution properties of micelles formed by two polystyrene-frZock-poly(2-vinylpyridine)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (PS-b-P2VP- -PEO) copolymers in water by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy [92]. Spherical micelles were observed that consist of a PS core, a P2VP shell and a PEO corona. The characteristic sizes of core, shell and corona were found to depend on the copolymer composition. The micellar size increased at pH<5 due to P2VP block protonation (Fig. 19).

Thus, core-shell nanociystals exhibit a huge enhancement of an optical transition locahzed in the core provided that the geometiy factor is chosen to maximize the gain factor either at the frequency Q] or at the frequency Q2 An appropriate choice of materials, including host material, and sizes of core-shell nanociystals enables the development of extremely efficient optical media operating in an extremely wide spectral range - from mid-IR to terahertz. 

However, all caveats concerning spurious interactions of the vacancy with the cluster surface mentioned above also hold for QM/MM methods. One must be very careful with orbitals that are used for the construction of the excited states, because they may be considerably more extensive than the core. Of course, one can make the size of cores as large, as in the large cluster approach, but they will always be embedded in a larger bulk for which no quantum theoretical method need be applied. This should make QM/MM methods especially attractive for applications in materials science. 

Polymers with ionizable phthalic acid groups dissolve faster at a lower pH than polymers with acrylic or methacrylic acid groups (Table 2). The simple coacervation of hydroxypro-pyl methylcellulose phthalate (HPMCP) with the addition of a 20% sodium sulfate solution was studied. Coacervation is the method of choice for the production of pharmaceutical preparations having a high active ingredient content and a smaller particle size of core materials used. With an increase in pH, the electrolyte (sodium sulfate) amount required to... 

The radial density profile (polymer volume fraction (Pa) in the corona of miceUe can unambiguously be used to find the aggregation number p. The sizes of core and corona are less trivially obtained. To help define the micellar dimensions we have incorporated two molecular markers at both ends of the hydrophilic block, named X2 (at the junction between A and B segments) and Xi (at the free end of the A block). The first moment < X > ... 

In the case of PPy as the conductive core material, a PPy-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) core-shell nanosphere with an average diameter of several tens of nanometers was synthesized via a two-step microemulsion polymerization procedure (Fig. 4) [213]. The size of core and shell parts was easily tuned by adjusting the amount of surfactant and monomer. The shell thickness was maintained in nanometer-scale to minimize the loss of electrical conductivity.

Also the internal structure of block-copolymer micelles, as given by the size of core and corona and the density profile in each domain, has been carefully characterized by static and dynamic light scattering [40] and by small angle neutron scattering... 

For the amphiphilic block copolymer in the non-polar selective solvent, the unpolar blocks form the corona, which provides solubilization and stabilization, while the polar or hydrophilic and functionalized blocks form the core, which is able to dissolve metal compounds due to coordination, followed by the nucleation and growth of metal particles upon reduction. Also the internal structure of block-copolymer micelles, as given by the size of core and corona and the density profile in each domain, has been carefully characterized by static and dynamic light scattering [146] and by small angle neutron scattering using contrast variation techniques [147], The micellar corona has many of the characteristics of a spherical polymer brush. 

The unique features of PIml electrocatalysts include tunable activity and stability, the self-healing effect, and high utilization of noble metals, largely due to the nature of the support, its composition, and its structure. Hence, opportunities remain for furthering performance improvement at reduced cost, a major concern in the development of real-world fuel cells. Future Pt L electrocatalysts could be designed by adjusting the composition, shape and size of cores to optimize the core-shell interaction. Specifically, the research can be performed from the following aspects.
