We plan to use the OFFSPEC SPIN-Echo reflectometer to study the mechanism of the 'peristaltic mode' in the spinodal dewetting of thin polymer films. In the peristaltic mode the...

Electrospinning is a technique that produces nanoscale to microscale sized polymer fibre from solution and the molten state. We have previously used small angle neutron...

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...

By adding only about 1% of soft polymer nanoparticles to natural rubber, a dramatic decrease in the viscosity (more than 50%) is induced. Our recent time of flight measurements...
