We propose to study the hydration of N-methylacetamide (NMA) at ambient conditions and at two concentrations, namely 1 NMA : 50 H2O and 1 NMA : 15 H2O, by applying the isotopic... -
Deep Eutectic Solvents: Metal Ion Dissolution
Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are molecular mixtures similar to ionic liquids, having melting points below room temperature. However instead of being composed of a salt, the... -
Molecular Dynamics in Polymer Nanocomposites
Our aim is to determine whether the fast dynamics, of either the backbone or the phenyl ring of polystyrene, are altered by the presence of carbon nanotubes, and, if so, whether... -
