This experiment exploits the unique capability of Nimrod to study the crystallisation of nanofibrils of a molecular gelator dibenzylidene sorbitol from alkane solutions on...

In this proposal we seek time to study the chain conformation(that is the way a polymer chain is arranged) in the solution state on a narrow molecular weight distribution PMMA....

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...

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...

Fibres with submicron diameters are commonly formed by two techniques, electrospinning , and centrifugal force spinning; in both cases polymer solutions are subjected to forces,...

We will exploit the unique capability of Nimrod in the study of the crystallisation from the melt of isotactic polypropylene. We focus on two perdeuterated polypropylenes with...

The aim of this experiment is to explore a very recent discovery made by ourselves that shear flow can suppress the nucleation and growth of crystals of specific low molar mass...

Thus proposal seeks to explore the nature of electrospun composite fibres where the polymeric material contains a substantial quantity of biopolymer obtained from food waste -...

We will exploit the unique capability of Nimrod in the study of the structural transformation of a diblock copolymer from the disordered randomly mixed phase to the ordered...

This proposal is part of a new research programme at Reading which is focused on a new types of macromolecular structures namely conetworks and pseudo-conetworks. These are...

This experiment is focused on the use of the unique capability of Nimrod to study the crystallisation of polymers from solution. We wish to obtain high quality time-resolved...

Electrospinning is a technique that produces nanoscale to microscale sized polymer fibre from solution and the molten state. We have previously used small angle neutron...

We will exploit the unique capability of NIMROD to bring new understanding to the way in which long chain polymers, specifically stereoregulqr polypropylenes, crystallise. There...

We will exploit the powerful and unique capability of NIMROD to follow in a time-resolving manner the crystallisation of polyethyleneoxide (PEO). There are three key length...

This proposal is part of a major research programme at Reading which is focused on nano-fibres prepared by electrospinning. The programme is centered on the spinning...

This proposal is focused on developing an understanding of how surfaces affect the local structure of synthetic polymers. There is considerable evidence for a strong variation...

This experiment is focused on the use of the unique capability of Nimrod to study the crystallisation of polymers from solution. We wish to obtain high quality time-resolved...

This is part of an on-going investigation into nano/micro scale sized polymer fibres at the University of Reading, prepared through the process of electrospinning. Currently we...

Centrifugal force spinning is a technique that has recently come into light as an easy route to producing large quantities of nano- to micro- scale polymer fibres in a short...
