The formation of aggregates of helical fibrils is analyzed numerically. The aggregate morphology, chirality and stability are studied as a function of temperature and helical pitch of individual fibrils. The simulations show the existence of a critical pitch above which the handedness of the ...

This communication reports a novel solvent free technology to generate and stabilise the triclinic form of artemisinin. We show that the stability of the triclinic form obtained by high temperature extrusion is greater than that of material made using a solvent based technique.

In this work we study structural recovery of a soft glassy Laponite suspension by monitoring temporal evolution of elastic modulus under isothermal conditions as well as following step temperature jumps. Interestingly, evolution behavior under isothermal conditions indicates the rate, and not ...
