    Abstract: In this study, translocation of a semi flexible polymer through a cylindrical channel have been investigated. A two-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation was employed, by utilizing the bond fluctuation method (BFM) to investigate the translocation processes of a chain length N. To surmount the entropic barrier, the middle monomers of the polymer have ... Show More

    Abstract: During previous catalytic tests on the reducing power of NOx catalysts based on pozzolana and PN-black citric acid polymer, it was found that the use of the NO2 model molecule poses a significant health and environmental risk. Thus, a project was launched to find another, much less harmful model molecule. Hydrogen peroxide H2O2 was chosen, a molecu... Show More
