IIT Hyderabad is organizing a 10 days course on Finite Element Method, under the auspicies of
Global Initiative on Academic Network (GIAN) started by Ministry of Human Resource Development(MHRD)
Government of India.
The course will taught by Prof J N Reddy , Texas A&M University , USA and Dr. A Rajagopal , IIT Hyderabad.
For more details please see the attached brouchure.
A covalent network of polymer can imbibe a solvent to form a gel. In a cavity on the surface of the gel, capillary force may suck the solvent out of the gel to form a pure liquid phase. We show that such osmocapillary phase separation occurs when capillarity balances osmosis, and when the diffusion of solvent in the gel prevails over the condensation of solvent from the vapor. Osmocapillary phase separation can occur even when the gel is isolated from the vapor, or when the solvent is nonvolatile.
