Today, a number of technological devices, such as the readout sensor in the hard disc drive, have used the exchange bias (EB) effect, which arises in a...

Organic solar cells (OPVs) are photovoltaic devices that can convert the energy from sunlight into electricity and have attracted much attention as a viable green energy source...

The degradation of an easel painting typically results in canvas loss in strength and elasticity so that it does not effectively support the paint structure. Lining of the...

Offshore structures such as wind turbines and oil rigs generally comprise steel structures—essentially ferritic iron—and are extremely prone to corrosion, a problem that causes...

Ionic liquid/Polymer mixtures, where the ionic liquid is the minority component are of particular interest for their potential as high temperature plasticisers and conducting...

We have developed an experimental approach using a buried magnetic layer to provide contrast in systems consisting of complex biomolecular layers tethered to gold surfaces. This...

Much progress has been made researching organic solar cells (OSC) in the last two decades, but the field still holds surprises. Until recently, the general assumption was that...

We shall demonstrate the use of neutron reflectometry to obtain three-dimensional structures in a non-invasive experiment. Spinodal dewetting is one of the few areas where...

We have recently been able to form a thin graphene oxide (GO) film with uniform thickness around 30±2Å from aqueous GO suspensions by spin coating (onto small wafers for...

We shall demonstrate the use of neutron reflectometry to obtain three-dimensional structures in a non-invasive experiment. Spinodal dewetting is one of the few areas where...

A number of studies have determined that non-ionic surfactants are capable of altering diffusionrates and transportation of both water and active ingredients thorough the waxy...

As our understanding of surfactant interfacial behaviour grows it is important to assess the applicability of the results to industrial applications. In these cases there are...
