Conductive polymers (CP) show desirable physicochemical properties, with CP-based nanocomposites being manufactured for various applications i.e. sensors The filler particles... -
High-pressure studies of methyl stearate
In order to tackle emissions targets for CO2, there is increasing pressure to replace fossil fuels with renewable fuels. Biodiesel is one such renewable transportation fuel that... -
A QENS Study of Guaiacol, a Lignin Model Compound, on a Hydrodeoxygenation Ca...
Bio-oil can be obtained from the pyrolysis of biomass and maintains a closed carbon cycle with no net increase in atmospheric CO2 level, making the environment cleaner. However,... -
Hydride-ion mobility analysis of SrVO2H using quasielastic neutron scattering
The proposed experiment at ISIS aims at the characterization of the diffusional motion of the hydride-ions in SrVO2H, which possesses the highest H (hydride) content among... -
Investigation of segmental dynamics in polymer nanocomposite glasses with gra...
Polymer nanocomposites are formed by embedding polymer grafted nanoparticles in homopolymer host matrix. Polymers form glasses when cooled through their glass transition...
