Lubricants contain a complex mixtures of polymers and base oils that must provide protection to moving surfaces with minimal energy loss due to friction or viscous drag. There...

The self assembled structure of silica aggregates in polybutadiene rubber is vital to our understanding of dynamic energy dissipation effects in tyres. Previous experiments on...

Our overall aim is to understand the origins of energy dissipation mechanisms in filled rubbers. These effects are responsible for much of the carbon footprint associated with...

Oligomers are commonly added to adhesives in order to improve surface tack properties. However, it is also important that the oligomers do not adversely affect the solid (glassy...
