Formulating polymer solutions to stabilise polymeric foams
Polyurethane foams (PUFs) are commonly prepared by mixing Pluronic type copolymers and isocyanate reactive monomers in the presence of additives e.g. catalysts, blowing agent... -
Incommensurate-commensurate phase transitions in K2SeO4
Materials with incommensurate structures often show exotic properties (such as charge density waves). The development of reliable and efficient refinement techniques for such... -
Probing the structure of polymeric foams on SANS2d ?
Polyurethane foams (PUFs) are commonly prepared by mixing Pluronic type copolymers and isocyanate reactive monomers in the presence of additives e.g. catalysts, blowing agent... -
Lattice strain evolution during cyclic deforma- tion of an engineering steel ...
In our research programme the overall goal is to explore how residual stress/strain infulences thedeformation and fracture behaviour of engineering steels at high temperatures.... -
The Effect of Residual Stress Distribution on Creep Cracking Behaviour of Wel...
Fracture prediction of structures manufactured from high strength engineering steels is a high priority in key industries. In this work residual stress (RS) effects on creep... -
Pre-Strain Effects on Intergranular Stresses and Subsequent Deformation
The proposal aims to examine how introducing 8% plastic strain in 316H steel through precompression, influences the intergranular strains in the material when loaded parallel... -
Lattice strain evolution during uniaxial tension of an engineering steel
In our research program the overall goal is to explore residual stress effects on fracture of engineering steels at high temperatures. Towards this goal, we need to understand... -
Hydrophobicity ¿ The Key to Polymer-Drug Conjugate Conformation
The use of polymer-drug conjugates for the delivery of drugs to specific sites of disease within the body has shown much clinical promise. It has become clear that the... -
Understanding the mechanism of benzyl alcohol oxidation using supported Au-Pd...
Gold, in its nano-scale, has been found to be very effective catalyst for oxidation reactions. More recently, it was shown that supported Au-Pd catalysts can be used for... -
Lattice strain evolution during high temperature deformation of an engineerin...
In our research programme the overall goal is to explore how residual stress/strain influences the deformation and fracture behaviour of engineering steels at high temperatures.... -
Texture memory and variant selection for steel and titanium and zirconium alloys
The proposed experiment will focus on determining the level of texture memory and variant selection on both heating and cooling for steel and titanium and zirconium alloys with... -
Rheo-SANS study of peptide gels
Low molecular weight gelators (LMWG) form hydrogels via self-assembly in water under specific conditions to form long, fibrillar structures. Non-covalent forces interactions...
