Dr. Richard Thompson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Durham University, UK. His research explores polymer physical chemistry, focusing on surface and interface behavior, rheology, and nanocomposite design. He applies experimental techniques like rheology, ion beam analysis, and neutron scattering alongside theory to study polymer dynamics.
- Current affiliations: Durham University (Department of Chemistry)
- Research themes: polymer self-organisation, solvent-controlled surface modification, industrial collaborations (materials processing, electronics)
- Key methods: rheology, neutron scattering, spin-echo SANS, surface-sensitive spectroscopy
Scientific Contributions include advancements in polymer extrudate swell modeling, nanocomposite reinforcement strategies, and solvent-free processing. His 15 most recent publications span topics from Payne effect reduction in nanocomposites to biosourced coatings for biosensors, with a focus on industrial applications and fundamental polymer physics.
- Scientific Leadership: Member of ISIS Facility Access Panels, IOP Polymer Physics Group Committee, and British Society of Rheology Council
- Students: Supervises Emily Tate, Josephine Binks, and Lucy Porter
