IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
EnglishWe present a simple molecular level model based on nematogenic Gay-Berne monomers linked by Finitely Extendable Nonlinear Elastic Potential (FENE) bonds for describing main chain polymerization in liquid crystals. We apply the model to study the influence that the order of the medium has on the characteristics of the chains obtained. We find that the chains prepared from the nematic are actually straighter than those obtained from a polymerization in the isotropic phase and that they are characterized by a small number of hairpins as experimentally observed.
