Aggregation behaviour in solution of cationic conjugated polymers and oligomers
We extend previous work on aggregates formed by cationic conjugated oligomers in water with surfactants and... -
Aggregation of Polar Multi-end Functional Polymers
Polar functional groups on polymer chains are of particular interest for applications in adhesion, printing, biocompatibility and mineralisation. We have created a series of... -
Ionic Liquid Aggregation in Polymers
Ionic liquid/Polymer mixtures, where the ionic liquid is the minority component are of particular interest for their potential as high temperature plasticisers and conducting... -
Understanding Melt Phase Aggregation in Semicrystalline Polymer Blends
We have recently prepared and studied the surface properties of some well-defined multi-end functional polyethylenes. Whilst most of our surface studies indicate that these... -
Aggregation behaviour in solution of cationic conjugated polymers and oligomers
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... -
Aggregation phenomena inside polymer brushes: lateral structure
We will use off-specular reflectivity to probe the characteristic lateral length-scales in responsive polyelectrolyte brushes grown by surface-initiated ATRP from solid-liquid... -
Aggregation of chiral catalysts based on the Trost ligand
The project represents a new application of SANS to investigate chemically sophisticated chiral catalysts, addressing important questions in modern synthetic and catalytic... -
Effect of iron and manganese supply on a natural phytoplankton community of t...
This study highlights the importance of manganese (Mn) next to iron (Fe) for the growth of specific Southern Ocean phytoplankton groups with important implications for carbon...
