Polymer-clay nanocomposites for packaging - Sustainpack
Innovation and sustainable development in the Fibre based packaging value chain
The use of confocal raman microspectroscopy in depth profiling polymer films
In collaboration with the Instituto de Cienncia y Tecnologia de Polimeros (Madrid) we have examined the extent of the surface modification of a polymeric membrane. The polymer (PVC) was modified according to the following reaction scheme
Raman spectroscopy and ESEM images of Class G oilwell cement
Raman microscopy allows us to understand the early stages of oilwell cement hydration, which is crucial to its application
Raman spectroscopy of White Portland cement
The grey colour of ordinary Portland cement is due to the presence of ferrite, the presence of which is unwelcome in White Portland cement (WPC)
Fire retardant clay-polymer nanocomposites - SUREFIRE
The SUREFIRE project was undertaken to develop a brand-new class of materials that provide strength, stiffness, hardness and fire performance properties to compete with conventional materials such as steel or concrete.
Characterisation of polymers, minerals and organic-inorganic complexes
We have a range of methods that can be used to analyse polymers, minerals and organic-inorganic complexes
Raman spectroscopy of cement - Pure synthetic C-S-H
A series of synthetic C-S-H phases has been prepared, with the aim of studying structural changes with changes in C/S
An Analysis of the Statistical Fatigue Behaviour of Single and Multi-Spot Welded Joints
Multi-spot welded joints are routinely used in the automotive and other industries to produce structurally critical components
