Phase separation and self-ordering in thin film polymers

Prof Hazel Assender

The project will examine phase separation and self-ordering processes and morphological changes in thin film polymers, comparing the processes and kinetics in thin film systems with those in the bulk. The work will consider the effect of substrate interactions as well as processing characteristics on the resulting structures.  This project may only to be available for MSc applicants.
