Thesis
Zhang, X. New catalysts bearing chelate ligands for ring opening polymerization studies. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4443364

Chapter 1: The accumulation of traditional polymer (plastic) pollution has led people to start looking for biodegradable plastics as alternatives. This first chapter provides information on the concept and the development of biodegradable polymers. I...

Sound absorption properties of porous composites fabricated by a hydrogel templating technique (2013)
Journal Article
Rutkevicius, M., Mehl, G. H., Paunov, V. N., Qin, Q., Rubini, P. A., Stoyanov, S. D., & Petkov, J. (2013). Sound absorption properties of porous composites fabricated by a hydrogel templating technique. Journal of Materials Research, 28(17), 2409-2414. https://doi.org/10.1557/jmr.2013.194

We have used a hydrogel templating technique followed by the subsequent evaporation of water present to fabricate porous cement and porous PDMS composites, and we have analyzed their sound absorption properties. All experiments were carried out with... Read More about Sound absorption properties of porous composites fabricated by a hydrogel templating technique.
