Soft hydrogen bonding: how does methanol dock onto olefins and aromatic compo...
Hydrogen bonding (HB) is an ubiquitous interaction. Weak HB (WHB) has long been acknowledged to exist such as: O-H ...... pi cloud, where either the aromatic electron cloud or... -
SEGMENTAL DYNAMICS OF LINEAR AND CROSS-LINKED POLYISOPRENE IN NATURAL RUBBER
The aim of this experiment is to explore the segmental mode of natural rubber NR by means of quasielastic neutron scattering, QENS, and observe the influence of natural... -
Why is Choline Arginate the Best Performing Bio-IL for Biomass Pretreatment?
The ionic liquid choline arginate [Ch][Arg] is more effective for coal pretreatment than other choline based amino acid ILs, but the underlying mechanism is unclear.... -
Strain effects in filled rubber nanocomposites
The overall aim of this project is to understand the origins of energy dissipation mechanisms in filled rubbers. These effects are responsible for much of the carbon footprint...
