Compatibilisation of polymer blends using electrospinning
This proposal seachs time to establish the conditions under which electrospinning can be used to provide (non-equilibrium) mixtures of immiscible polymers. Such an outcome might... -
Thermal expansion of recovered high-pressure ice polymorphs
The ambient-pressure phase of ice is a well-known example of a molecular solid that exhibits negative volume thermal expansion below 60 K. In a recent study carried out on HRPD... -
In situ diffraction studies of cathode materials for Li ion batteries
Li-ion batteries are interesting because they offer high power and, as a consequence, they are preferred to aqueous-based batteries for traction applications e.g. hybrid... -
Probing of hydride phase formation of Pd nanoclusters embedded in the NH2-UiO...
With this proposal, we would like to investigate a material that could be used as a catalyst for hydrogenation reactions. A catalyst acts to increase the rate of a reaction by... -
In situ studies on hydride diffusion and exchange in alkaline earth hydrides ...
Thermogravimetric analysis on alkaline earth hydrides in St Andrews has revealed a remarkably fast exchange of deuterium and hydrogen by alkaline earth hydrides at relatively... -
The phase stability of alpha-glycine at high pressure
Though the beta and gamma forms of the simplest amino acid, glycine, yield a variety of different phases on application of pressure, Raman data suggest that the most common... -
In situ studies on the decomposition of NaNH2 and possible formation of Na2NH.
Group 1 amides of general formula MNH2 are some of the most promising materials for hydrogen storage applications due to their relatively low temperatures of hydrogen evolution... -
