Prof Gareth Price
Profile
Our research work crosses a number of topics, the common theme being the preparation, characterisation and application of polymers with controlled structure and properties. Many projects involve more than one of these areas.
Research Interests
- High Intensity Ultrasound in chemistry (“Sonochemistry”)
- Synthesis and Preparation of Functional Polymers
- Characterisation and Properties of Polymer Systems
