A molecular dynamics investigation of hydrolytic polymerization in a metal-hydroxide gel
Article Abstract:
The spontaneous hydrolytic polymerization of an active hydroxide in the anti-bayerite structure is followed with the use of molecular dynamics simulations. The polymer populations are calculated as a function of reaction process and compared with a model governed by purely random bonding, the results of which suggest that interfacial processes are required for the rapid transformation to higher order oligomers.

Investigation of the requirements for plasma-induced polymerization of alcohols
Article Abstract:
The requirements for plasma-induced alcohol polymerization by comparing the reactions of several types of aliphatic and alkanes are analyzed. The results reveal that alcohol polymerization requires the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen into alcohol.

Fixing atmospheric nitrogen in alcohol during plasma-induced alcohol polymerization
Article Abstract:
Plasma-induced fixing of atmospheric nitrogen during 1-butanol polymerization is demonstrated. Electrons emitted from an atomic force microscope tip dissociate both C-H bonds in 1-butanoland nitrogen and oxygen molecules in air.
