This dataset contains the raw data of the chemical analysis described in the associated publication (DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.3c08250), namely the mass spectral data of the plastic...

In the proposed experiments we extend previous work on characterization of aggregates formed by cationic conjugated polymers and oligomers in water. Particular emphasis will be...

Polymers, end-functionalised with carboxylic acid (COOH) groups do not normally segregate to film surfaces due to the high surface energy of these functionalities. However, we...

We have observed formation of polymer-surfactant films at the air interface having a range of structures, related to their solution interactions. The films form with...

We propose to make neutron reflectivity measurements of hydrophillic polymers covalently attached, via thiol chemistry, to the gold-water interface. In particular, we will...

We wish to exploit the unique capability of Nimrod to move forward the long standing issue of the way in which long chain polymers crystallise. There are two key length scales:...

Gaining control of the building blocks of magnetic materials will enable the design and growth of bespoke magnetic devices. However, the ability to tune the magnetic...

Measurements of shish structure in semicrystalline polymers after controlled shear-induced crystallizationA combinatorial approach developed to find the boundary conditions for...

We have recently developed a method to prepare a wide variety of amphiphilic diblock copolymers through a supramolecular linkage that is stable in water. This has been achieved...

Progress in the development of nano-sized hybrid therapeutics and nano-sized drug delivery systems - "nanomedicines" - over the last decade has been remarkable. One key...

We will exploit the unique capability of NIMROD to bring new understanding to the way in which long chain polymers crystallise. There are three key length scales: the first...

Associative polymers have a very important role as rheological modifiers, due to their ability to form interconnected networks of hydrophobic domains. Additionally,...

Using conjugated polymers as the active materials in electronic and optoelectronic devices opens up the possibility of fabricating all-polymer devices, such as active matrix...

In this work we will study a novel block copolymers consisting of a linear cationic block and uncharged bottle-brush block having 45 units long poly(ethylene oxide) side chains....

We wish to exploit the unique capability of Nimrod to move forward the long standing issue of the way in which long chain polymers crystallise. For synthetic polymers there are...

This proposal continues our research on mesostructured surfactant templated polymer films. The films are robust and form spontaneously at the air-water interface. Recent...

The behaviour of multiple polymers in competition for colloidal silica has previously been investigated in our group using solvent relaxation nuclear magnetic resonance. We...

LCST, or ¿cloud point¿ is a property of some types of polymers in solution. At low temperatures, the polymers are fully solvated and exist as extended conformations in solution....

We extend previous work on aggregates formed by cationic conjugated oligomers in water with surfactants and...

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...
