Molecular modeling simulations to predict compatibility of poly(vinyl alcohol) and chitosan blends: A comparison with experiments
Article Abstract:
The compatibility of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and chitosan (CS) polymers are studied using molecular modeling strategies to understand the interactions between CS and PVA polymers in order to predict their compatibility from atomistic simulations. The results are correlated well to obtain realistic information about interactions involved as a function of blend composition.

Amorphous Iron (III) oxide-A review
Article Abstract:
The morphology, magnetic properties, crystallization mechanism and applications of the nanoparticles of amorphous Iron oxide are studied. The size of these amorphous particles predetermines the structure of the initial crystalline polymorph.
