Our paper on the effect of plasticisers on polymer crystallisation now available open access in Polymer: doi.org/10.1016/j.polymer.20…
Samira's work on assessing various urea force fields is now available open access in @CGD_ACS pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
Well done Samira! @Strath_ChemEng
Congratulations to Samira who had a paper accepted in Crystal Growth and Design @CGD_ACS! The work tested various OPLS and GAFF based force fields for urea in crystal and solution phases. @Strath_ChemEng
