The Glass Transition near the Surface of a Polybutadiene Film
The influence of surfaces and interfaces on the dynamical properties of polymers has been a very active area in recent years. The recently developed low energy muon (LEM)... -
Control of shish formation in semicrystalline polymers
Measurements of shish structure in semicrystalline polymers after controlled shear-induced crystallizationA combinatorial approach developed to find the boundary conditions for... -
Telechelic Polymer - Homopolymer Blends
We have recently embarked on a new 1 year project funded by Michelin to explore the self-associatation and mechanical properties of telechelic rubbery materials. Such materials... -
Anomalous temperature dependence of the ALC spectrum of polybutadiene
The relative importance of factors affecting the low temperature ALC spectra of organic molecular systems such as polymers and small molecules is a topical issue. Polybutadiene...
