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... -
Multiscale time-resolving study of crystallisation in poly(e-caprolactone) ba...
We will exploit the unique capability of Nimrod in the study of the long standing issue of polymer crystallisation. We focus on polycaprolactone containing small quantities of... -
Nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) impact on soil microbial communities
The use of nanoparticles for environmental remediation is an emerging technology. Pioneering the field is the use of nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) to cleanup ground waters... -
Cross-linked Electrospun Fibres containing Cellulose
In this proposal we shall explore the nature of electrospun fibres produced from blends of cellulose and polystyrene which we shall use as a model to develop high strength... -
Chain conformations in aligned electrospun fibres
This proposal is part of a major research programme at Reading which is focused on nano-fibres prepared by electrospinning. The programme is focused on the electrospinning... -
Polymer chain conformations in solutions for electrospinning
This proposal is part of a research programme which is focused on nano-fibres prepared by electrospinning. The programme is centered on developing an understanding of the...
