Fractal Characteristics of Pore Structure of Longmaxi Shales with Different Burial Depths in Southern Sichuan and Its Geological Significance by Manping Yang, Yanyan Pan, Hongye Feng, Qiang Yan, Yanjun Lu, Wanxin Wang, Yu Qi, Hongjian Zhu

“…The fractal dimension has a positive association with the pore structure parameters (SSA, PV), TOC, and <i>R</i>_o and a negative association with the mineral component (quartz, feldspar, clay mineral) contents. Minerals like quartz, feldspar, and clay will slow down the expansion of pores, but when SSA and PV increase, the pore heterogeneity will be greater and the pore structure more complex.…”

Aggregation modes of anionic oxacarbocyanines with polycations in solution and in ESAMs by Andrea Lodi, Glauco Ponterini

“…On the contrary, the latter are extensively and almost exclusively obtained in electrostatically self-assembled multilayers (ESAMs) prepared by alternate polycation/dye adsorption on quartz substrates. The J-aggregate growth on supported polycations is qualitatively shared by the four cyanines, a fact that reveals the crucial role of the double anionic substitutions on the dyes. …”
