I'm very happy to have been part of this project now published in 'Investigating the microcracking behaviour of a commercial epoxy matrix under cryogenic conditions' in Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing (tinyurl.com/3e29wxde).

Investigating the microcracking behaviour of a commercial epoxy matrix under cryogenic conditions

Carbon fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are increasingly being adopted in cryogenic applications, particularly in zero-emission aviation and lightwei…

I’m attending an important meeting on student support but really distracted by the presence in the room of this giant horn (is that even how it’s called?). #schoolofmusic

I keep seeing announcements about a new season of Handmaid’s Tale coming up and I can’t figure out if it’s true or about the current political 💩storm.

(1/5) I am very proud of this paper, about one of the first projects I started when I joined @bristoluni.bsky.social. At the time I asked an (unsuspecting) undergraduate student to study the optical properties of PIMs for her final year project. advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Polymer of Intrinsic Microporosity as Light Absorber for Luminescent Solar Concentrators

The first use of a polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM-1) is demonstrated as a light absorber in a luminescent solar concentrator (LSC). Combined with a red dye emitter, PIM-1 acts as an antenna ....

What better way to start then to highlight good news. May I introduce Dr. Justin Park, Ph.D. Defended his co-toutelle thesis with @sebrochat.bsky.social (BristolU) and Pierangelo Gobbo (UTrieste).

So I took the plunge and created an account here… great to see folks I used to see on that other place, who went silent in the last couple of months! Hope for more interesting convos and fewer bots/conspiracies/crypto madness.
