Quaternary ammonium and phosphonium based ionic liquids: a comparison of common anions (2014)
Journal Article
Blundell, R. K., & Licence, P. (2014). Quaternary ammonium and phosphonium based ionic liquids: a comparison of common anions. Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 16(29), 15278-15288. https://doi.org/10.1039/c4cp01901f

A series of ammonium-based ionic liquids and their phosphonium analogues have been investigated using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). A robust C 1s peak fitting model has been developed and described for the tetraalkylphosphonium and tetraalk...

Tuning the electronic environment of cations and anions using ionic liquid mixtures (2014)
Journal Article
Villar-Garcia, I. J., Licence, P., Lovelock, K. R., & Men, S. (2014). Tuning the electronic environment of cations and anions using ionic liquid mixtures. Chemical Science, 5(6), 2573-2579. https://doi.org/10.1039/c4sc00106k

Electrostatic interactions are ubiquitous in ionic liquids and therefore, the electronic environment (i.e. the distribution of electron density) of their constituent ions has a determining influence on their properties and applications. Moreover, the... Read More about Tuning the electronic environment of cations and anions using ionic liquid mixtures.

Mechanical Property Characterization of Aligned Plant Yarn Reinforced Thermoset Matrix Composites Manufactured via Vacuum Infusion (2014)
Journal Article
Shah, D. U., Schubel, P. J., Clifford, M. J., & Licence, P. (2014). Mechanical Property Characterization of Aligned Plant Yarn Reinforced Thermoset Matrix Composites Manufactured via Vacuum Infusion. Polymer-Plastics Technology and Engineering, 53(3), 239-253. https://doi.org/10.1080/03602559.2013.843710

This article evaluates the mechanical properties of vacuum-infused unidirectional plant fiber composites (PFRPs), composing of bast fiber yarns and thermoset matrices. PFRPs are found to have lower fiber volume fractions than E-glass composites (GFRP...
