There are two contributions to the rms roughness of a polymer-polymer interface; i) the so-called ¿intrinsic interfacial width¿ due to mixing of the polymers at a molecular...

In order to extend our level of knowledge towards Oriental Arms and Armour, we have selected five samples specifically smelted, forged, characterized, and traded by Hitachi...

Rcently the NFL behaviour near an antiferromagnetic quantum critical point (AFQCP) has been investigated extensively. Very recently, we have investigated, for the first time,...

We wish to trace the changes in lattice parameters and atomic coordinates around the first and second order Curie transitions of Fe2P and boron (11B)-doped Fe2P0.95,B0.05...

Our long-term aim is a detailed study of the manufacture of wootz (the so-called Damascus steel)a high-C% cast steel which was very slowly cooled and very carefully forged so as...

This proposal aims to investigate the dynamics of the melting transition in H2O and CO2 when confined in a vycor (SiO2) matrix. The field of fluids in confined geometries is...

Dissolved molecular oxygen in solution depolarizes muonium because ground-state molecular oxygen has triplet electrons and is paramagnetic. People normally remove them from...

A full-sized section of 304-stainless steel pipe with a non-stress relieved girth-butt weld has been obtained from a Pressurised Water Reactor. This project will accurately map...

Recently, a number of creep cracks have been found in complex pipe to pipe intersections, referred to as bifurcations in the boilers of the UK¿s Advanced Gas Cooled Reactors...

We propose to use the OSIRIS spectrometer to measure the inelastic magnetic scattering on the newly discovered heavy Fermion compound Ce3Co4Sn13. This compound has one of the...

Laser forming is a novel manufacturing technique used to form metal sheet into complex geometries. The process is based on the introduction of thermal stress including plastic...

Residual stresses (RSs) in welded structures are inevitable and it is vital that they are considered and quantitatively estimated when analysing cracking and fracture problems...

The key objective is mapping the internal microstructure of a series of samples of European sword blades from the 17th-18th c. The samples, which include a full blade and are...

We have a long-standing interest in the temperature- and magnetic field-evolution of magnetic and crystal structure in CoMnSi. This is driven by an interest in the...

Controlled vesicle fusion has major advantages in diagnostic and drug delivery applications. We have designed a DNA hybridisation-based assay for directed fusion of vesicles...

While traditionally considered competing phenomena, recent theoretical and experimental work has shown that, when juxtaposed, there is a wealth of proximity effects in...

The energy of transmitted neutrons can be obtained from their time-of-flight, simultaneously with the acquisition of the transmission radiographic image by a pixilated detector....

Bonded crack retarders are a novel technology for providing improved damage tolerance in aerospace structures. They can be applied either in locations where mechanical fastening...

The asphaltene fraction of crude oil is defined by its solubility parameters (insoluble in n-heptanebut soluble in toluene). Changes in conditions (temperature, pressure,...

Polymers adsorbed or otherwise attached to interfaces provide an extremely powerful tool to control the forces that act between interfaces. The functionality of these attached...
