Chain anisotropy in nanofibre production
Fibres with submicron diameters are commonly formed by two techniques, electrospinning , and centrifugal force spinning; in both cases polymer solutions are subjected to forces,... -
Probing the structure of polymer stabilised foams
Polyurethane foams (PUFs) are commonly prepared by mixing Pluronic type copolymers and isocyanate reactive monomers in the presence of additives e.g. catalysts, blowing agent... -
Employing Rheo-SANS to understand how silk is spun
Combining structural information about silk proteins in solution whilst undergoing mechanical shear will open a new window into silk production in vivo and provide valuable...
