Polystrene chain conformations in good solvents and electrospun fibres
This proposal is centered on the preparation of nanoscale fibres prepared by electrospinning and is the focus of the final year PhD programme of Saeed Mohan. These experiments... -
Anion effects on self-assembly in deep eutectic solvents.
Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are mixtures of an organic salt with a hydrogen bond donor that form strong interactions which hinder crystallisation. DES share many features with... -
Chain Conformations in Monodisperse/Polydiserpse Electrospinning Solutions
Electrospinning is a technique which produces fibres from a polymer solution exposed to an electric field. The technique forms fibres substantially smaller in diameter than a... -
Encapsulation of monomers in cationic surfactant-polymer solutions
We have been studying the solution interactions leading to formation of solid polymer-surfactant films at the air-solution interface. We wish to use the mesostructures in the... -
Probing the internal structure of ethyl butyrate containing microemulsions us...
The proposal aims to establish the location of the oil, ethyl butyrate in dodecyldimethylamine-N-oxide (DDAO) microemulsions. Molecular dynamic simulations have proposed that a... -
Cross-linked Electrospun Fibres containing Cellulose
In this proposal we shall explore the nature of electrospun fibres produced from blends of cellulose and polystyrene which we shall use as a model to develop high strength...
