Near surface concentration profile of sheared semi-dilute polymer solutions
Suzanne Lafon, Tiago Outerelo-Corvo, Marion Grzelka +5
Controlling the structure of polymer solutions near a solid surface is crucial for many industrial processes, as it significantly impacts solution flow and influences slip at the i…
Photo-Switchable Surfactants for Responsive Air-Water Interfaces: Azo vs. Arylazopyrazole Amphiphiles
Marco Schnurbus, Richard A. Campbell, Jörn Droste +5
Arylazopyrazoles (AAPs) as substitutes for azo derivatives have gained considerable attention due to their superior properties offering E/Z photo-isomerization with high yield. In…
The viscoelastic signature underpinning polymer deformation under shear flow
Airidas Korolkovas, Sylvain Prévost, Maciej Kawecki +4
Entangled polymers are deformed by a strong shear flow. The shape of the polymer, called the form factor, is measured by small angle neutron scattering. However, the real-space mol…
Polymer brush collapse under shear flow
Airidas Korolkovas, Cesar Rodriguez-Emmenegger, Andres de los Santos Pereira +6
Shear responsive surfaces offer potential advances in a number of applications. Surface functionalisation using polymer brushes is one route to such properties, particularly in the…
Combined neutron reflectometry and rheology
Max Wolff, Peter Kuhns, Georg Liesche +3
We have combined neutron reflectometry with rheology in order to investigate the solid boundary of liquids and polymers under shear deformation. Our approach allows one to apply a…
The search for Nanobubbles by using specular and off-specular Neutron Reflectometry
Philipp Gutfreund, Marco Maccarini, Andrew Dennison +1
We apply specular and off-specular neutron reflection at the hydrophobic silicon/water interface to check for evidence of nanoscopic air bubbles whose presence is claimed after an…
