	abstract = {The present paper considers the theoretical description of the propagation of sound waves in a one component monatomic gas. The interatomic potential is assumed to vary as the inverse fourth power of the interatomic separation, that is for so-called Maxwell molecules. The eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the linearized Boltzmann collision operator are known for this model. We emphasize the behaviour of this system in the rarefied, large Knudsen number regime for which the convergence of solutions of the Boltzmann equation can be very slow. We carry out a detailed comparison of the previous formalisms by Wang Chang and Uhlenbeck [C.S. Wang Chang, G.E. Uhlenbeck, The kinetic theory of gases, in: G.E. Uhlenbeck, De Boer, (Eds.), Studies in Statistical Mechanics, vol. 5, Elsevier, New York, 1970, pp. 43-75], Alexeev [B.V. Alexeev, Philos. Trans. R. Soc. A 349 (1994) 357] and Sirovich and Thurber [L. Sirovich, J. K. Thurber, J. Math. Phys. 10 (1969) 239]. The latter exploit a general method of solution of the Boltzmann equation developed by Gross and Jackson. We demonstrate that the Generalized Boltzmann Equation proposed by Alexeev is not appropriate and we show the reasoning for the success of the Sirovich Thurber approach over the Wang Chang and Uhlenbeck calculations. Comparisons are made with experimental data. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},

	abstract = {In dilute aqueous solution, tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) tends to aggregate but trimethylamine-N-oxide ( TMAO) does not. Given that both molecules have very similar geometry with hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups, it is interesting to ask why they behave so differently in aqueous solution. To explore this question, we use molecular dynamics simulations to study two models representing TBA and TMAO that differ essentially only in their electrostatic properties. It is shown that this difference is sufficient to give the different solution behavior. Furthermore, the principal difference identified is that the hydrophilic group of TMAO ( the oxygen) interacts on average much more strongly with water than the corresponding group ( the hydroxyl) of TBA. A hydrogen-bond analysis shows that water-TBA and water-TMAO hydrogen bonds are similar in number, but that the hydrogen-bond energy is much more negative for water-TMAO. In all likelihood, this accounts for the different behavior in dilute aqueous solution.},

	abstract = {Using an atomic force microscope (AFM), we have investigated the interaction forces exerted by latex particles bearing densely grafted polymer brushes consisting of poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA), poly(methoxyethylacrylamide) (PMEA), poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM), and PMEA-b-PNIPAM in aqueous media (good solvent). The brushes were prepared by controlled surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization, and the hydrodynamic thicknesses were measured by dynamic light scattering. The molecular weight (M-n), grafting density (sigma), and polydispersity (PDI) of the brushes were determined by gel permeation chromatography and multiangle laser light scattering after cleaving the polymer from the latex surface by hydrolysis. Force profiles of PDMA (0.017 nm(-2) less than or equal to sigma less than or equal to 0.17 nm(-2)) and PMEA (sigma = 0.054 nm(-2)) brushes were purely repulsive upon compression, with forces increasing with M-n and sigma, as expected, due to excluded volume interactions. At a sufficiently low grafting density (sigma = 0.012 nm(-2)), PDMA exhibited a long-range exponentially increasing attractive force followed by repulsion upon further compression. The long-range attractive force is believed to be due to bridging between the free chain ends and the AFM tip. The PNIPAM brush exhibited a bridging force at a grafting density of 0.037 nm(-2), a value lower than the sigma needed to induce bridging in the PDMA brush. Bridging was therefore found to depend on grafting density as well as on the nature of the monomer. The grafting densities of these polymers were larger than those typically associated with bridging. Bridging interactions were used to confirm the presence of PNIPAM in a block copolymer PMEA-b-PNIPAMA brush given that the original PMEA homopolymer brush produced a purely repulsive force. The attractive force was first detected in the block copolymer brush at a separation that increased with the length of the PNIPAM block.},

	abstract = {Homopolymer brushes of poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA), poly(methoxyethylacrylamide) (PMEA) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM) grown on atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) initiator functionalized latex particles were used as macroinitiators for the synthesis of PDMA-b-PNIPAM/PMEA, PMEA-b-PDMA/PNIPAM and PNIPAM-b-PDMA block copolymer brushes by surface initiated aqueous ATRP. The grafted homopolymer and block copolymer brushes were analyzed for molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, chain grafting density, composition and hydrodynamic thickness (HT) using gel permeation chromatography-multi-angle laser light scattering, H-1 NMR, particle size analysis and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques. The measured graft molecular weight increased following the second ATRP reaction in all cases, indicating the second block had been added. Chain growth depended on the nature of the monomer used for block copolymerization and its concentration. Unimodal distribution of polymer chains in GPC with non-overlap of molar mass-elution volume curves implied an efficient block copolymerization. This was supported by the increase in HT measured by particle size analysis, equilibrium thickness observed by AFM and the composition of the block copolymer layer by H-1 NMR analysis, both in situ and on cleaved chains in solution. 1H NMR analysis of the grafted latex and cleaved polymers from the surface demonstrated that accurate determination of the copolymer composition by this method is possible without detaching polymer chains from surface. Block copolymer brushes obey the same power law dependence of HT on molecular weight as homopolymer brushes in good solvent conditions. The NIPAM-containing block copolymer brushes were sensitive to changes in the environment as shown by a decrease in HT with increase in the temperature of the medium. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.
