Polymeric surface coatings are widely used to tailor the properties of surfaces. At the microscopic level, polymer layers provide steric stabilisation that gives colloidal...

The aim is to measure any tendency towards phase separation in a nematic mixture to complement an adsorption study on the same mixture. The base is 4-pentyl 4¿- cyanobiphenyl...

Carbon nanotubes are of great interest due to their unique properties, such as their high aspect ratio and electrical conductivity. Many possible applications of CNTs require...

In the context of a project in collaboration with ISIS that focuses on structural studies under mechanical confinement, with a specific focus on biological lubricants, the...

Nowadays, a significant research effort is devoted to understand and mimic biological lubricants which, in contrast to most man-made lubricants, are based on water. It has been...
