The National Group of Raman Spectroscopy and non-linear effects (GNSR) meets every two years to explore results and applications. This volume constitutes the proceedings of the meeting in 2001, presenting the ideas and experiences of a range of members of the scientific communit…
Fossilized microorganisms (microfossils) preserved within Precambrian sedimentary rocks represent a vital source of evidence for early life on Earth, and studies of such microfossils and the organic matter (kerogen) of which they are typically composed have helped guide the mode…
The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the combination of experimental and computational methods in the search for reproducible colloidal surface-enhanced Raman scattering of pharmaceutical compounds. In the search for optimal experimental conditions for colloidal …
Raman spectroscopy has been used to characterise both organic and geological samples in order to build a database for the future characterization of biomarker molecules that are of astrobiological relevance. Characteristic geological features and hydrated minerals recently found…
An improved method to evaluate Young's modulus of bacterial cellulose (BC) nanofibrils is presented. This estimation takes into account polarisation configurations, nanofibril orientation and tensile deformation axis direction. A range of 79 - 88 GPa has been obtained showing th…
Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) is an alternative material that has been widely studied to enhance the mechanical properties of a polymer matrix due to a number of perceived advantages over traditional plant fibre forms. Mechanical properties of MFC networks were found to depen…
The objective of this project was to apply machine learning methods to determine protein secondary structure content and protein fold class from ROA and Raman vibrational spectral data. Raman and ROA are sensitive to biomolecular structure with the bands of each spectra correspo…
Raman spectroscopy has been used to monitor the deformation of natural cellulose whisker polymer nanocomposites. Cotton and tunicate whiskers were used as reinforcements in polymer matrices. Raman spectra from the nanocomposites highlight an intense band located at the 1095 cm-1…
