Selection of a suitable vegetable oil for high voltage insulation applications (2009)

Hosier, I L, Guushua, A, Vaughan, A S, Swingler, S G

Many items of high voltage plant employ a liquid both as a dielectric and a coolant. Currently these systems use a mineral oil, however, this suffers from the drawback of being potentially toxic and...

Propylene based systems for high voltage cable insulation applications (2009)

Hosier, I L, Cozzarini, L, Vaughan, A S, Swingler, S G

Crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) remains the material of choice for extruded high voltage cables, possessing excellent thermo-mechanical and electrical properties. However, it is not easily recyclable...

Thermal and Electrical Ageing of Silicone Oil (2009)

Hosier, I L, Vaughan, A S, Swingler, S G, Moss, G

Silcone oil provides an excellent self healing liquid insulation system for high voltage applications, combining good dielectric properties with the ability to operate at very high temperatures. As...

The occurrence of the hexagonal phase in two long chain monodisperse carboxylic acids at high pressure (2008)

Hosier, I.L.

High-pressure differential thermal analysis (DTA) experiments have allowed the pressure–temperature phase diagrams to be constructed for the monoacid CH3–(CH2)190–COOH and the diacid...

The effect of dibenzylidene sorbitol on the crystallization behaviour of polyethylene (2008)

Vaughan, A.S., Hosier, I.L.

The influence of dibenzylidene sorbitol (DBS) on the optical clarity, crystallization behaviour and morphology of polyethylene has been studied by UV/visible spectroscopy, differential scanning...

Lamellar morphology of random metallocene propylene copolymers studied by atomic force microscopy (2004)

Hosier, I.L., Alamo, R.G., Lin, J.S.

Four sets of propylene based random copolymers with co-units of ethylene, 1-butene, 1-hexene and 1-octene, and a total defect content up to similar to 9 mol% (including co-unit and other defects),...

Formation of the alpha and gamma polymorphs in random metallocene-propylene copolymers. Effect of concentration and type of comonomer (2003)

Hosier, I.L., Alamo, R.G., Esteso, P., Isasi, J.R., Mandelkern, L.

Four sets of random propylene-based copolymers with 1-10 mol % of ethylene, 1-butene, 1-hexene, or 1-octene as co-units, synthesized with the same metallocene catalyst, were investigated by...

The occurrence of hexagonal phases in three monodisperse long n-alkanes at high pressures (2002)

Hosier, I.L., Bassett, D.C.

Stable hexagonal phases have been identified in the three monodisperse long n-alkanes C390H782, C294H590 and C246H494 at pressures similar to0.5 GPa and above. Their isobaric temperature range of...

A comparison of the morphology and crystallization kinetics of two centrally branched monodisperse alkanes with n-alkanes of equal and half length (2002)

Hosier, I.L., Bassett, D.C.

The isothermal crystallization kinetics and morphologies of two centrally branched monodisperse alkanes have been studied and compared with two long n-alkanes, one of equal and one of half, the...

On permanent cilia and segregation in the crystallization of binary blends of monodisperse n-alkanes (2002)

Hosier, I.L, Bassett, D.C

The isothermal crystallization kinetics and morphology have been investigated for a series of dilute binary blends using six monodisperse n-alkanes as guest in C162H326 as host. Two patterns of...

Morphology and crystallization kinetics of dilute binary blends of two monodisperse n-alkanes with a length ratio of two (2001)

Hosier, I.L, Bassett, D.C

The crystallization kinetics and morphologies of dilute binary blends of the monodisperse alkane n-C122H246 in n-C246H494 and vice versa have been investigated. With a molecular length ratio close to...

A study of the morphologies and growth kinetics of three monodisperse n-alkanes: C122H246, C162H326 and C246H494 (2000)

Hosier, I.L., Bassett, D.C.

An optical and electron microscopic study has been made of three monodisperse n-alkanes crystallising as extended-chain lamellae. All showed similar morphologies at the same supercooling and the same...

On morphology of consolidated UHMWPE resin in hip cups (1999)

Olley, R.H., Hosier, I.L., Bassett, D.C.

The microstructure of replacement hip cups made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has been revealed by permanganic etching to bring out the fine details. Specimens are examined...
