Corona Dynamics in Polymer Stabilised Nanocomposites
The Payne effect, whereby filled polymers experience a loss of modulus under applied strain is responsible for much of the energy loss of vehicle tyres in everyday use. It has... -
Does tethered PEG behave as a typical polymer brush at the solid-liquid inter...
We propose to make neutron reflectivity measurements of hydrophillic polymers covalently attached, via thiol chemistry, to the gold-water interface. In particular, we will... -
INS Study of Multifunctional Catalysts (Ru, Pd-loaded Nb2O5Hx) for the Effici...
We request 7 days on TOSCA to carry out inelastic neutron scattering study of two novel multifunctional catalysts (Ru/Nb2O5Hx and Pd/Nb2O5Hx) for the efficient cleavage of C-O... -
Investigating the effect of pore structure upon interactions of hydrogen with...
Three MOFs samples with high hydrogen storage capacities at 77K, and high surface area, are willing to be analyzed. In order to investigate hydrogen interactions within the... -
Modes of protein adsorption at polyethylene oxide brushes of various polymer ...
We wish to understand the mechanism to which polymer brushes such as PEO resist the adsorption of protein and thus offer biocompatibility for various surface applications....
