Day, M., Blanchard, R., English, R., Dobbie, T., Williams, R. L., Garvey, M. J., & Wong, D. (2008). Shear and extensional rheometry of PDMS tamponade agents used in vitroretinal surgery.

The emulsification of low molar mass silicone oil (PDMS)-based tamponade agents used in the treatment of complex retinal detachments is a significant clinical problem leading to the patient suffering impairment of vision whilst the tamponade is in pl...

A Brownian dynamics computer simulation study of a highly coarse-grained model of telechelic associating polymers has been carried out. In a critical concentration range the model produces the so-called 'loops-to-bridges' transition, thought to exist...

The influence of the extensional viscosity of very low concentrations of high molecular mass water-soluble polymers on atomisation and droplet impact (2008)
Journal Article
Williams, P. A., English, R. J., Blanchard, R. L., Rose, S. A., Lyons, L., & Whitehead, M. (2008). The influence of the extensional viscosity of very low concentrations of high molecular mass water-soluble polymers on atomisation and droplet impact. Pest

BACKGROUND: Water-soluble polymers are increasingly added to herbicide and pesticide formulations at very low concentrations (100–1000 mg L−1) in order to control the spray characteristics, notably to reduce spray drift and influence droplet bounce....
