Mechanical properties of Ropaque hollow nanoparticles
Zhu, Liwen; Nguyen, Duc; Davey, Tim; Baker, Matthew; Such, Chris; Hawkett, Brian; Neto, ChiaraPublished 2017-10-15The elastic properties and strength upon compression of commercial Ropaque polystyrene hollow particles were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). These particles are commonly used in paints as opacifying agents, ...Open AccessArticle -

Micron-sized polystyrene particles by surfactant-free emulsion polymerization in air: synthesis and mechanism
Telford, Andrew; Pham, Binh; Neto, Chiara; Hawkett, BrianPublished 2013In this study, we propose an alternative method to produce high solids, micrometer-sized polystyrene (PS) latexes with narrow size distribution, based on the use of large amounts of polymerization initiator and allowing ...Open AccessArticle -
Premature detonation of an ammonium nitrate emulsion in reactive ground
Priyananda, Pramith; Djerdjev, Alexander; Gore, Jeff; Neto, Chiara; Beattie, James; Hawkett, BrianPublished 2015When ammonium nitrate emulsions are used in blast holes containing pyrite, they can exothermally react with pyrite, causing the emulsion to intensively heat and detonate prematurely. Such premature detonations can inflict ...Open AccessArticle
