In this paper, we review the state of the field of optical Kerr effect (OKE) spectroscopy of
simple liquids, with a focus on results from our laboratory. We discuss the history and the …

High pressures play a more and more important role in modern technology. Examples are
the supercritical fluid extraction of medical drugs and dyes from biological material, the …

Although pressure is usually believed to be an always positive quantity, negative pressure
states exists since the beginning of the Universe and they have been studied since …

Nature uses negative pressures in the most resourceful and efficient ways. Yet, negative
pressure states are still sometimes considered inaccessible by part of the scientific …

Aqueous solutions of a copolymer derivative of a polyacrylamide showed very interesting
behavior, that in which the system evolves from one kind of double criticality (pressure …

The metastable superheated solutions are liquids in transitory thermodynamic equilibrium
inside the stability domain of their vapor (whatever the temperature is). Some natural …

Pre-impregnated sheets of advanced carbon fibers with highly viscous thermoset-based
resin systems are commonly used in fabricating aerospace composite parts. As prepreg …

A new method has been presented in this paper on the determination of the liquid–liquid
critical locus of a binary liquid mixture (nitrobenzene/n-hexane) under negative pressure …

The stability limits in binary fluid mixtures are investigated on the basis of the global phase
diagram approach employing a model for the attracting hard-sphere fluid. In addition to the …

We survey the types of binary (T, p, x) liquid–liquid phase diagrams that have already been
found experimentally or that can be predicted to exist, emphasizing the topological …
