内容简介:
【简介】 The Wolfson Materials and Catalysis Centre (WMCC) was established in 2000 with grant aid from the Wolfson Trust, to bring together synthetic, catalytic and materials expertise at UEA. The Centre is led jointly by Prof. M. Bochmann and Professor M. J. Cook.
The Centre brings a multidisciplinary approach to molecular-level research in catalysis and materials chemistry, including:
Polymerisation catalysis development and testing of alkene polymerisation catalysts, heterogenised catalysts: M. Bochmann, S.J. Lancaster, C. Redshaw
New materials based on functionalised copolymers: M. Bochmann, S.J. Lancaster
Novel palladium catalysts for organic synthesis: A.N. Cammidge
Synthesis and development of liquid crystalline materials and supramolecular structures: M.J. Cook, A.N. Cammidge
Non-linear optical materials: G.R. Stephenson
Photophysics of macrocycles: M.J. Cook, D.A. Russell
Development of sensors and devices by thin film formulations and polymer imprinting methods: M. J. Cook, D. A. Russell, A.G. Mayes
Solid-state NMR of polymers and catalyst support materials: N.J. Clayden
FT-Raman, Raman/differential scanning calorimetry, neutron scattering and muon spectroscopy on inorganic materials: U.A. Jayasooriya
RAIRS and transmission FTIR spectroscopy: D.A. Russell, M.J. Cook
Organometalcarbonyl Sensors and Bioprobes: G.R. Stephenson Part of WMCC's activities are linked to EU Research Networks on New Olefin Copolymer Materials by Metal Catalysed Polymerisations (coordinated by M. Bochmann), Non-linear optical materials (coordinated by G.R. Stephenson) and silicon oxycarbide glasses (U. A. Jayasooriya).
