Anelasticity in ODS MA956 steel during unloading in cyclic creep straining
Oxide dispersion-strengthened steels are still being regarded as suitable choices for components in advanced nuclear power plants. It is important, then, to study how permanent... -
Sample dynamics by quasielastic neutron scattering on the sub nanosecond scal...
TOFLAR is a new technique to study atomic motions on the time scale from a fraction of a picosecond up to one nanosecond. In contrast to some established techniques that only... -
Measuring the structure of a poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) gel layer under compress...
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... -
The role of tryptophan in puroindoline/purothionin cooperative binding to bio...
The puroindoline (PIN) and purothionin (PTH) families of polypeptides both occur in wheat and are implicated in antipathogenic defence mechanisms, and of interest for potential... -
Phase behaviour of nano-sized ion-inserted compounds
Insertion reactions are of key importance for Li-ion and Hydrogen storage materials and energy storage devices. Nano-sizing the electrode materials has emerged as a promising... -
SANS study of the effect of thermal annealing on the morphology of bulk heter...
This projects aims to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between processing conditions, active layer morphology and device performance in polymer solar... -
Magnetic proximity effect and in-plane correlations in amorphous CoAlZr/FeZr ...
The purpose of this project work is to establish a broader understanding of the magnetic proximity effect observed in a magnetic amorphous multilayer. This will be achieved by... -
Cross-linked Electrospun Fibres containing Cellulose
In this proposal we shall explore the nature of electrospun fibres produced from blends of cellulose and polystyrene which we shall use as a model to develop high strength...
