Thermotropic Liquid Crystal

The arrangement of nanoscale building blocks into patterns with microscale periodicity is challenging to achieve via self-assembly processes. Here, we report on the phase transition-driven collective assembly of gold nanoparticles in a thermotropic liquid crystal. A temperature-induced transition from the isotropic to the nematic phase leads to the assembly of individual nanometre-sized particles into arrays of micrometre-sized aggregates, whose size and characteristic spacing can be tuned by varying the cooling rate. This fully reversible process offers hierarchical control over structural order on the molecular, nanoscopic, and microscopic level and is an interesting model system for the programmable patterning of nanocomposites with access to micrometre-sized periodicities.

We consider the problem of rational statistical control technical parameters of automatic spacecraft (AKA) in the process of their ground testing in autonomous and complex testing in a three-tier hierarchical structure: independent product testing, independent testing systems and comprehensive testing of the AKA in general. The mathematical model of control, the formalized statement of a problem and algorithm of optimization of statistical control of sets of products and their technical parameters on hierarchy of working off is given. At the same time, the model and algorithm allow you to select the optimal product range of each level of the hierarchy from the sets that are subject to mandatory control, take into account the specified requirements for technical parameters and the results of monitoring the technical parameters of the lower levels of products when planning and carrying out control of the parameters of the higher levels.
