A Model for Tackifier Elastomer Interaction
Oligomers are commonly added to adhesives in order to improve surface tack properties. However, it is also important that the oligomers do not adversely affect the solid (glassy... -
Comparison of Adsorption at the Native Aluminium Oxide/Oil and Alumina/Oil In...
In this proposal we investigate the suitability of a-alumina as a model for the natural oxide formed on aluminium metal. Alumina is often used as a model for the metal system... -
The interaction of oxidatively damaged lung proteins with anionic lipids
Lung surfactant protein B, SP-B, interacts with lipids at the air-water interface of the lung where its presence is vital for correct respiratory function. SP-B and its... -
Phase behaviour in Polymer-Photovoltaic Thin Film Blends
In polymer-fullerene based photovoltaic systems the phase behaviour of the blends is poorly understood and remains a fundamental stumbling block to improvements in device... -
Microstructure of Homoeopathic Organic Solar Cells
Much progress has been made researching organic solar cells (OSC) in the last two decades, but the field still holds surprises. Until recently, the general assumption was that... -
Does spinodal dewetting proceed by peristalsis?
We shall demonstrate the use of neutron reflectometry to obtain three-dimensional structures in a non-invasive experiment. Spinodal dewetting is one of the few areas where... -

Spray-coating plastic solar cells: New materials & innovative processes for O...
We propose to study a range of new selenium containing lower energy gap organic photovoltaic materials deposited by spray coating using neutron reflectivity. The new materials...
