LF and RF muSR Studies of Polymer Dynamics in Polydimethylsiloxane
Muon spin relaxation will be used to study the dynamical properties of the polymer polydimethylsiloxane. This has emerged as an excellent model system for the study of polymer... -
The Dynamics of Paraquat in Aqueous Solution and Hydrated Clay
This proposal will enable us to study the dynamics of an important water soluble pesticide molecule, paraquat, in solution and in the interlayer region of swelling... -
Local Dynamics in End-Functional Poly(ethylenes)
Poly(ethylene)s carrying multiple end-functional groups on a single chain end have been prepared from polybutadiene, saturated with either hydrogen or deuterium. These materials... -
Spin Dynamics in the isotopically enriched spin ice 162Dy2Ti2O7
In an attempt to study the dynamics of Dy2Ti2O7 measured using muons we have made a sample of 162Dy2Ti2O7 where the 161 and 164 isotopes are reduced to a minimum (max. 0.6% of... -
Tracking Temperature-Dependency of Setting Dynamics in Bioactive Glass Compos...
Demand for new medical & biomaterials with elevated longevities is accelerating through the ageing of the population. The historic implantation of foreign materials into the... -
Dynamics of Polymer/Polymer nanocomposites
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... -
Dynamics of attentional bias for food in adults, children, and restrained
Objective: Empirical evidence of attentional bias (AB) for food in obese and restrained eaters is contradictory. It has been suggested that AB for food in obese people might...
