Polystrene chain conformations in good solvents and electrospun fibres
This proposal is centered on the preparation of nanoscale fibres prepared by electrospinning and is the focus of the final year PhD programme of Saeed Mohan. These experiments... -
Shear controlled crystallisation of low molar mass compound in a polymer matrix
The aim of this experiment is to explore a very recent discovery made by ourselves that shear flow can suppress the nucleation and growth of crystals of specific low molar mass... -
Gelation and spin crossover transitions in gels formed from 1d metallo-organi...
This proposal is part of a research programme at Reading which is focused on thermoresponsive supramolecular gels formed from self-assembling metallo organic polymers. These... -
Multiscale studies of crystallisation in synthetic polymers
We will exploit the unique capability of NIMROD to bring new understanding to the way in which long chain polymers crystallise. There are three key length scales: the first... -
Structure in Polymer Conetworks
This proposal is part of a new research programme at Reading which is focused on a new types of macromolecular structures namely conetworks and pseudo-conetworks. These are... -
Multiscale studies of crystallisation in synthetic polymers
We wish to exploit the unique capability of Nimrod to move forward the long standing issue of the way in which long chain polymers crystallise. For synthetic polymers there are... -
