Electrical, elastic properties and defect structures of isotactic polypropylene composites doped with nanographite and graphene nanoparticles
L. V. Elnikova, A. N. Ozerin, V. G. Shevchenko +5
Conducting polymers have wide technological applications in sensors, actuators, electric and optical devices, solar cells etc. To improve their operational performance, mechanical,…
Elasticity in the Gauge Theory of Active Nematics with Topological Defects
L. V. Elnikova
We analyze the phase behavior of lyotropic nematic liquid crystals in the self-organizing flow, viz. so called active nematics (AN). Their elastic properties are mutually caused by…
Elastic energy and string configurations in the chiral gauge theory of biaxial uniaxial nematic phase transitions
L. V. Elnikova
In nematic liquid crystals (NLCs), topological defects of a chiral origin play a role in phase transitions and lead to phase configurations of nontrivial topology, like those in ne…
Spin glass transitions of smectic- crosslinked elastomers
L. V. Elnikova
Elastomers are artificial polymeric materials created for industrial and commercial applications. Depending on their purpose, they are performing in different species and structure…
Lattice model calculations on aqueous acetone and tetramethyl urea
L. V. Elnikova
In frames of the Ising model, we analyze self-organization of aqueous acetone (AC) and tetramethyl urea (TMU), caused by lyotropic phase transformations. Using the lattice Monte Ca…
The Polyakov line, the Nishimori line and polymer networks standing a smectic liquid crystal
L. V. Elnikova
We once more specify an universality of a phase transition from smectic-A to nematic phase in the crosslinked polymer network with a smectic liquid crystal, basing on the X-ray and…
Phase heterogeneities of lipidic aggregates
L. V. Elnikova
We propose a model for explanation the "domain-wall" type configuration states in binary lipid mixtures of cationic and neutral lipids, associated with observed relaxation effects…
Elastic properties of vanadium pentoxide aggregates and topological defects
L. V. Elnikova
We study the aqueous solution of vanadium pentoxide by using topology methods. The experiments by Zocher, Kaznacheev, and Dogic exhibited, that in the sol phases of ,…
Comments to topological defects in bilayer vesicles
L. V. Elnikova
To explain the details of bilayer vesicle aggregation, we revised the anyon model for lipid domains formation in closed vesicles of lipid-cholesterol system /cholesterol…
Lattice analogy of area-difference elasticity model for lipid-detergent bilayer vesiculation
L. V. Elnikova
The vesiculation process was examined in the lipid-detergent solution (dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-phoshatidylcholine/octaethylleneglycol n-dodecyl ether/water), using small-angle neutr…
Surface defects in vesicle aggregates and anyons
Liliya V. Elnikova
We consider surface defects in connection to the closed vesicle form evolution in mesomorphism of lyotropic aggregates, based on the experimental data by Feigenson \cite{Feig} on c…
