Should solid-state molecular packing have to obey the rules of crystallographic symmetry? (2003)
Journal Article
Steed, J. (2003). Should solid-state molecular packing have to obey the rules of crystallographic symmetry?. CrystEngComm, 5(32), 169-179. https://doi.org/10.1039/b304631a

About 8% of crystal structures contain more than one independent molecule or formula unit; the number being denoted by the parameter Z. To most chemists and crystallographers such structures are nothing but a pain in the scientific rear! The crystall...

Surfactant adsorption and Marangoni flow in liquid jets I. Experiments (2003)
Journal Article
Battal, T., Bain, C., Weiss, M., & Darton, R. (2003). Surfactant adsorption and Marangoni flow in liquid jets I. Experiments. Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 263(1), 250-260. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0021-9797%2803%2900253-4

The adsorption of surfactants at an expanding liquid surface has been studied in a gravity-driven laminar water jet with Reynolds numbers in the range from 1000 to 2000. Surface concentrations of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (C16TAB) were deduc... Read More about Surfactant adsorption and Marangoni flow in liquid jets I. Experiments.

Monte Carlo simulations of an amphiphilic polymer at a hydrophobic/hydrophilic interface (2003)
Journal Article
Miller, A., Wilson, M., Cook, M., & Richards, R. (2003). Monte Carlo simulations of an amphiphilic polymer at a hydrophobic/hydrophilic interface. Molecular Physics, 101(8), 1131-1138

Monte Carlo simulations have been carried out for an off-lattice model of an amphiphilic polymer at a hydrophobic/hydrophilic interface. The model system consists of a polynorbornene backbone with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) grafts modelled atomistica...

Confocal microscopy of a dense particle system (2002)
Journal Article
Bromley, E., & Hopkinson, I. (2002). Confocal microscopy of a dense particle system. Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 245(1), 75-80

We report experiments utilizing confocal microscopy to determine the position of cornflour starch granules in a paste, as a function of distance from a wall. The granules have an average diameter of 15 mum. If a solvent is chosen such as to approxima... Read More about Confocal microscopy of a dense particle system.

The constitutive equation and flow dynamics of bubbly magmas (2002)
Journal Article
Llewellin, E., Mader, H., & Wilson, S. (2002). The constitutive equation and flow dynamics of bubbly magmas. Geophysical Research Letters, 29(24), https://doi.org/10.1029/2002gl015697

A generalized constitutive equation for bubbly liquids is presented which successfully reproduces the expected viscosity response for both steady flows with varying capillary number Ca (a measure of the bubble deformation) and unsteady flows with var...

Scaled chiral indices for ferroelectric liquid crystals (2002)
Journal Article
Solymosi, M., Low, R., Grayson, M., Neal, M., Wilson, M., & Earl, D. (2002). Scaled chiral indices for ferroelectric liquid crystals. Ferroelectrics, 277, 483-490

Chirality of optically active liquid crystal molecules has become an important research topic and the subject of a number of theoretical and experimental studies. We present here the results of the application of a newly developed scaling method of a... Read More about Scaled chiral indices for ferroelectric liquid crystals.

Rotational viscosities of Gay-Berne mesogens (2002)
Journal Article
Cuetos, A., Ilnytskyi, J., & Wilson, M. (2002). Rotational viscosities of Gay-Berne mesogens. Molecular Physics, 100(24), 3839-3845

Rotational viscosities gamma(1) are calculated for three Gay-Berne models for a wide range of state points in the nematic phase. There was a strong density dependence in the results, with gamma(1) increasing with increasing density. Away from the cle... Read More about Rotational viscosities of Gay-Berne mesogens.

Sol gel-immobilised terbium complexes for luminescent sensing of dissolved oxygen by analysis of emission decay (2002)
Journal Article
Blair, S., Kataky, R., & Parker, D. (2002). Sol gel-immobilised terbium complexes for luminescent sensing of dissolved oxygen by analysis of emission decay. New Journal of Chemistry, 26(5), 530-535

Cationic terbium complexes bearing an N-methylphenanthridinium chromophore have been incorporated in sol gel thin films and their response characteristics analysed with respect to variations in dissolved oxygen concentration. Analysis of the emission... Read More about Sol gel-immobilised terbium complexes for luminescent sensing of dissolved oxygen by analysis of emission decay.
