For ideal gasses, the likelihood of collision of two molecules is a function of concentrations as well as environmental factors such as temperature.This too is the case for particles diffusing within liquids.Two such particles are bacteria and their viruses, the latter called bacteriophages or phages.Here, I review the basic process of predicting t
New Protic Ionic Liquids as Potential Additives to Lubricate Si-Based MEMS/NEMS
The motivation for this work was to develop new protic ionic liquids (PILs) as additives for the lubrication of micro and nanoelectromechanical systems Aloe Vera (MEMS and NEMS).Ten PILs based on the combination of methylimidazolium ([MIMH]), 4-picolinium ([4-picH]), pyridinium ([PyrH]), 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-undec-7-ene-8-ium ([DBUH]) and tetram
