HyperMacs to HyperBlocks: A Novel Class of Branched Thermoplastic Elastomer (2009)
Journal Article
Hutchings, L., Dodds, J., Rees, D., Kimani, S., Wu, J., & Smith, E. (2009). HyperMacs to HyperBlocks: A Novel Class of Branched Thermoplastic Elastomer. Macromolecules, 42(22), 8675-8687. https://doi.org/10.1021/ma901819f

We demonstrate here the great versatility of the macromonomer approach for the synthesis of long chain hyperbranched polymers (HyperMacs) and describe the synthesis of HyperMacs from polybutadiene and poly(methyl methacrylate) using analogous yet mod...

The long-chain dynamics in a model homopolymer blend under strong flow: small-angle neutron scattering and theory (2009)
Journal Article
Graham, R. S., Bent, J., Clarke, N., Hutchings, L. R., Richards, R. W., Gough, T., …McLeish, T. C. (2009). The long-chain dynamics in a model homopolymer blend under strong flow: small-angle neutron scattering and theory. Soft Matter, 5(12), 2383-2389. https://doi.org/10.1039/b817440g

We use small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements to provide a detailed picture of the non-linear dynamics of the long chains in a model polystyrene blend. By a weighted subtraction of SANS measurements from two otherwise identical blends wit...

Neutron flow-mapping: Multiscale modelling opens a new experimental window (2009)
Journal Article
McLeish, T. C., Clarke, N., de Luca, E., Hutchings, L. R., Graham, R. S., Gough, T., …Chambon, P. (2009). Neutron flow-mapping: Multiscale modelling opens a new experimental window. Soft Matter, 5(22), 4426-4432. https://doi.org/10.1039/b916288g

Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) has delivered significant insight into the rich and varied phenomena seen in the non-linear dynamics of entangled polymers. The lengthscales accessible by SANS are ideally matched to the strongly lengthscale-depe... Read More about Neutron flow-mapping: Multiscale modelling opens a new experimental window.
