Ymchwil
Yn fy ngrŵp ymchwil rydym yn gweithio ar blastigau a pholymerau. Gellir rhannu ein hymchwil yn ddadansoddiad amgylcheddol o bolymerau a phlastigau, a datblygu polymerau ailgylchadwy y genhedlaeth nesaf.
Analyis amgylcheddol: Rydym yn datblygu dulliau ar gyfer monitro a deall tynged plastigau sy'n hydawdd mewn dŵr, microblastigau a gwlyb-wipes, er mwyn deall eu heffaith envionmental yn llawn. Mae gennym brosiectau cydweithredol sy'n ceisio deall effaith y deunyddiau hyn ar yr amgylchedd naturiol.
Polymerau yn y dyfodol: Rydym yn datblygu catalyddion ar gyfer paratoi polymerau newydd, ynghyd â'r dechnoleg i'w hailgylchu'n effeithiol trwy ddad-bolymereiddio. Ein nod yw paratoi deunyddiau sydd ag eiddo gwell i bolymerau traddodiadol fel y gellir eu defnyddio mewn cymwysiadau yn y byd go iawn wrth wella ôl troed amgylcheddol y sector polymer. Mae prosiectau penodol yn cynnwys rhai neu'r cyfan ohonynt:
- Paratoi amgylcheddau ligand newydd ar gyfer catalysis effeithiol
- Datblygu cymhlethdodau catalytig gweithgar ar gyfer polymerization
- Penderfyniad mecanwaith adwaith gan ddefnyddio dadansoddiadau sbectrosgopig ac astudiaethau cyfrifiannol
- Dadansoddi priodweddau deunyddiau polymerau newydd a wnaed yn ein labordy
Fel rhan o'n hymdrechion ymchwil, rydym yn cydweithio â gwyddonwyr a pheirianwyr o bob rhan o'r meysydd ymchwil catalysis a deunyddiau.
I gael rhagor o wybodaeth am brosiectau penodol sydd ar gael gyda Dr Benjamin Ward, adolygwch adran synthesis moleciwlaidd ein themâu prosiect ymchwil.
