MML group had a pleasant Fajita Lunch on Friday 17th February 2017. We wish everyone has a fruitful and successful new year.  The BEST MML Fajita food, with special thanks to Andrew and Jerónimo  Happy MML members with Fajita in their minds

A new paper by James A. Elliott and his Turkish collaborators Elif Ozden-Yenigun and Canan Atilgan is published in Computational Materials ScienceIn this paper, we study the crosslinking route and interfacial interactions for achieving superior properties in carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced epoxy-based nanocomposites by using multi-scale modelling…

A new paper by John S. Bulmer, Thurid S. Gspann, Jon S. Barnard and James A. Elliott is published in Carbon.Raman spectroscopy's D:G ratio is a well-known indicator of graphitic crystallinity in single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with widespread qualitative application to macroscopic CNT assemblies. Here, we show how the D:G ratio yields quantit…
