9 results about "Spinodal decomposition" patented technology

Spinodal decomposition is a mechanism for the rapid unmixing of a mixture of liquids or solids from one thermodynamic phase to form two coexisting phases. As an example, consider a hot mixture of water and an oil. At high temperatures the oil and the water may mix to form a single thermodynamic phase in which water molecules are surrounded by oil molecules and vice versa. The mixture is then suddenly cooled to a temperature at which thermodynamic equilibrium favours an oil-rich phase coexisting with a water-rich phase. Spinodal decomposition then occurs when the mixture is such that there is essentially no barrier to nucleation of the new oil-rich and water-rich phases. In other words, the oil and water molecules immediately start to cluster together into microscopic water-rich and oil-rich clusters throughout the liquid. These clusters then rapidly grow and coalesce until there is a single macroscopic oil-rich cluster, the oil-rich phase, and a single water-rich cluster, the water-rich phase.

Synergistic control and dynamic assembly of viscoelastic networks and biomolecular condensates by aqueous liquid-liquid phase separation and liquid-solid phase separation (aqll-LS PS2)

A biological network mimic for investigating subcellular structures and their interaction with biomolecular condensates is presented. The mimic is a stimulus-responsive polymer and a non-responsive polymer in an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS). One effective mimic is an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) that combines poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) and dextran (DEX). The ATPS mimic, displays ultrasensitive thermo-induced aqueous liquid-liquid phase separation and liquid-solid phase separation (AqLL-LS PS2). Diverse structures, including networks, hollow spheres, and spinodal decomposition-like patterns, are generated by regulating component concentrations and temperatures. These structures are thermally reconfigurable. Networks can melt fused in sarcoma (FUS) condensates. The mimics provides methods to examine potential treatments of neurode-generative diseases by dissolving pathologically relevant biomolecular condensates.
