Journal ArticleDOI
Task-specific ionic liquid for solubilizing metal oxides
Peter Nockemann,Ben Thijs,Stijn Pittois,Jan Thoen,Christ Glorieux,Kristof Van Hecke,Luc Van Meervelt,Barbara Kirchner,Koen Binnemans +8 more
TL;DR: The structures, the energetics, and the charge distribution of the betaine cation and the bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anion, as well as the cation-anion pairs, were studied by density functional theory calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanoparticle-induced widening of the temperature range of liquid-crystalline blue phases
Eva Karatairi,Brigita Rožič,Zdravko Kutnjak,Vassilios Tzitzios,George Nounesis,George Cordoyiannis,Jan Thoen,Christ Glorieux,Samo Kralj +8 more
TL;DR: Systematic high-resolution calorimetric studies reveal thatblue phase III is effectively stabilized in a wide temperature range by mixing surface-functionalized nanoparticles with chiral liquid crystals, yielding a robust method to stabilize blue phases, especially blue phase III.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two-dimensional ultrasonic strain rate measurement of the human heart in vivo
Jan D'hooge,Elisa E. Konofagou,Fadi Jamal,Andreas Heimdal,L. Barrios,Bart Bijnens,Jan Thoen,F. Van de Werf,George R. Sutherland,Paul Suetens +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility of two-dimensional strain rate estimation of the human heart in vivo has been demonstrated using ultrasonic B-mode data at a high temporal resolution of 3.8 ms and processed off-line.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity of imidazolium ionic liquids
Jan Leys,Michael Wübbenhorst,Chirukandath Preethy Menon,R. Rajesh,Jan Thoen,Christ Glorieux,Peter Nockemann,Ben Thijs,Koen Binnemans,Stéphane Longuemart +9 more
TL;DR: The electrical conductivities of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquids with different anions were determined in the temperature range between 123 and 393 K on the basis of dielectric measurements in the frequency range from 1 to 10(7) Hz.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature dependence of the enthalpy and the heat capacity of the liquid-crystal octylcyanobiphenyl (8CB)
TL;DR: In this paper, an adiabatic scanning calorimeter has been used to study the thermal behavior of the liquid-crystal octylcyanobiphenyl (8CB) in the temperature range between 10 and 50°C.
