Figure 1: Snapshots from the molecular dynamics simulations showing the evolution of the spinodal-assisted crystallization process for the polar (orange ‘atoms’) and nonpolar (grey ‘atoms’) polymer ...

While the phenomenon of phase separation has historically been a problem for glass producers, it is now known to offer advantages in the production of certain materials such as glass ceramics and ...

Only a handful of compounds have a knack for crystallizing into a variety of forms, or polymorphs. One of the most prolific, a small molecule known as ROY (so called because it crystallizes in ...

Chemical engineers have developed a new method for making meta-organic framework membranes that can be used to considerably improve energy-expensive processes such as propylene-propane separation, ...
