The present study was undertaken tc investigate the mechanism for primary nucleation in
polymer crystallization. Previous studies in this area have not been conclusive. Experiments on …

In this paper we show that processes such as Brownian motion, convection, sedimentation,
and bacterial contamination can cause small particles to move through liquids in a fashion …

Residual stress is inherent in any fiber reinforced composite, created by the laminates
processing route and high levels of anisotropy. The aim of this article is to provide an up to date …

Machining of carbon fibre reinforced polymers is part of the production process that introduces
several challenges due to inherent characteristics of CFRPs such as non-homogeneity of …

In this Article, we show that inclined silicon surfaces patterned with poly(methacrylic acid)
brushes are able to control the position and movement of 20 μm silica particles, which are …

A novel area detector has been designed for material science SR studies, capable of
simultaneously collecting the diffraction data in two angular regimes. The detector for collecting …

A strategy for the design of adhesives is proposed which uses knowledge of polymer-surface
interactions and block copolymer behaviour, giving target molecules which can build in …

Exacerbations are serious events for patients with COPD; not only are the episodes themselves
distressing, debilitating and even devastating, but they are linked to increased morbidity …

Block copolymer modified epoxy resins have generated significant interest since it was
demonstrated that the combination could lead to nanostructured thermosets through self-…
