Understanding polymer nucleation by studying droplets crystallization in immiscible polymer blends
; Müller Sánchez, Alejandro Jesús; (Elsevier, 2023-01)
This Feature Article reviews our recent work on the nucleation and crystallization of finely dispersed semicrystalline polymeric droplets in immiscible matrices. Droplets dispersions can be used as a toolbox to investigate ... -
Understanding Public Support for Externality-Correcting Taxes and Subsidies: A Lab Experiment
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-01-01)The potential of taxation to correcting environmental externalities has been long recognized among economists. Yet, this welfare-enhancing policy commonly faces strong opposition by citizens. Conversely, externality-correcting ... -
Understanding risks in the light of uncertainty: low-probability, high-impact coastal events in cities
(Environmental Research Letters, 2017-01-17)A quantification of present and future mean annual losses due to extreme coastal events can be crucial for adequate decision making on adaptation to climate change in coastal areas around the globe. However, this approach ... -
