TL;DR: The use of specular neutron reflection to study a wide variety of problems in surface and interfacial chemistry is introduced and discussed in this paper, where the design of the SURF reflectometer has been optimised for the surface chemistry of soft matter and new experimental results that exploit the novel features of this second generation neutron reflectometer are presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the application of nanodiamond (ND) can greatly increase the performance of electrochemically active polymers, such as polyaniline (PANI), in a symmetric two-electrode confi guration with 1 M H 2 SO 4 electrolyte.

TL;DR: Both the real and imaginary parts of the third-order susceptibility per macrocycle are amplified by ladder formation, as revealed by degenerate four-wave mixing measurements at 1064 nm.

TL;DR: In this article, the dewetting of thin films of end-functionalized polymers, ω- and α,ω-barium sulfonato polystyrenes, on a silicon substrate has been investigated as a function of initial film thickness.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used specular and off-specular neutron reflection measurements to characterize the length scale and growth rate of the instability of the buried, polystyrene interfaces.
