Processing of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene : modelling the decay of fusion defects (2002)
Journal Article
Wu, J., Buckley, C., & O'Connor, J. (2002). Processing of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene : modelling the decay of fusion defects. Chemical Engineering Research and Design, 80(A5), 423-431. https://doi.org/10.1205/026387602320224003

A problem in applications of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is the tendency for components to contain fusion defects, arising during processing of the as-polymerized powder. These defects have been implicated previously in failures... Read More about Processing of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene : modelling the decay of fusion defects.

Film thickness effects on the distribution of high-molecular-weight heterotelechelic polymers (2002)
Journal Article
Hutchings, L., Richards, R., Thompson, R., & Bucknall, D. (2002). Film thickness effects on the distribution of high-molecular-weight heterotelechelic polymers. The European Physical Journal E, 8(2), 121-128

High-molecular-weight heterotelechelic deuteriopolystyrene, NDPSF, possessing an amine functional group at one end of the chain and a fluorocarbon group at the other was tethered to a silicon substrate by its amine functional group. These layers were... Read More about Film thickness effects on the distribution of high-molecular-weight heterotelechelic polymers.

A biosensor for monitoring formaldehyde using a new lipophilic tetrathiafulvalene-tetracyanoquinodimethane salt and a polyurethane membrane (2002)
Journal Article
Kataky, R., Bryce, M., Goldenberg, L., Hayes, S., & Nowak, A. (2002). A biosensor for monitoring formaldehyde using a new lipophilic tetrathiafulvalene-tetracyanoquinodimethane salt and a polyurethane membrane. Talanta, 56(3), 451-458

A format for a disposable screen-printed biosensor was investigated for monitoring formaldehyde. The screen-printed sensor format comprised a working electrode (WE) modified with platinised carbon, a new lipophilic tetrathiafulvalene-tetracyanoquinod...
