Surfactants at the metal-oil interface
The lubrication of surfaces by oils is a key aspect of many academic and industrial problems with significant financial implications. We would like to study, for the first time... -
pH Responsive Polymer Blend Surfaces
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... -
Molecular Weight and Incipient Crystallinity Effects on Polymer Surface Segre...
We have established multi-end functional polymers as potent additives for spontaneous surface modification of blends. Since semi-crystalline polymers such as PE, PP, PET could... -
Distribution of End-Functionalized Polymers in Semi-Crystalline Blends
Although the surface properties and self-organisation of end-functional polymers in amorphous blends are well understood, the influence of crystallinity has received little... -
Magnetism, structure and superconductivity in Sr1¿xNaxFe2As2 (HRPD)
We will use the high resolution of HRPD and the excellent long d-spacing data available on OSIRIS to investigate the phase transitions in Sr1-xNaxFe2As2 which are associated... -
Understanding pressure-driven structural and magnetic properties in LaFeO3
This proposal is concerned with determining variations in the high pressure crystallographic and magnetic structure of LaFeO3. LaFeO3 is a characteristic example of...
