This master’s thesis outlines the novel spin exchange process which was developed
to create centimetre scale nanorod assemblies of copper and silver chalcogenides.
These assemblies originated by synthesising CdS and CdSe ...
Soils play an important role in the sequestration of soil carbon. Land management uses such as afforestation, grassland management etc can play a vital role in the mitigation of carbon from the atmosphere. Bioenergy crops ...
Superhydrophobicity can be seen in nature with varying degrees of wetting.
The leaves of the lotus plant have long been identified for their superhydrophobic
properties. Superhydrophobic surfaces have contact angles ...
