Journal Article
Huang, Q., Agostini, S., Hengeller, L., Shivokhin, M., Alvarez, N. J., Hutchings, L. R., & Hassager, O. (2016). Dynamics of Star Polymers in Fast Extensional Flow and Stress Relaxation. Macromolecules, 49(17), 6694-6699. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.macromol.6b01348

We confirm the observation from Ianniruberto and Marrucci [ Macromolecules 2013, 46, 267−275] that entangled melts of branched polystyrenes behave like linear polystyrenes in the steady state of fast extensional flow, by measuring a linear, an asymme...

Spontaneous Nanoparticle Dispersal in Polybutadiene by Brush-Forming End-Functional Polymers (2016)
Journal Article
Hart, J. M., Kimani, S. M., Hutchings, L. R., Grillo, I., Hughes, A. V., Clarke, N., …Thompson, R. L. (2016). Spontaneous Nanoparticle Dispersal in Polybutadiene by Brush-Forming End-Functional Polymers. Macromolecules, 49(4), 1434-1443. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.macromol.5b02318

A masterbatch additive for the enhanced dispersal of bare silica nanoparticles in polybutadiene is demonstrated using tetrahydroxyl end-functional polybutadienes (“4OH-PBd”). Neutron reflectometry and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) confirm the... Read More about Spontaneous Nanoparticle Dispersal in Polybutadiene by Brush-Forming End-Functional Polymers.
