SANS DETERMINATION OF CO2 ABSORPTION INTO SURFACTANT STABILISING LAYERS
Recent SAXS measurements have indicated that CO2 can dramatically swell the surfactant layer in w/o microemulsions formed in CO2-swollen oils and also enhance solubilisation... -
The Local Structure of Doped α - Tricalcium Phosphate
The biomaterial potential of many calcium phosphates, such as hydroxyapatites and tricalcium phosphates (Ca3(PO4)2, TCP hereafter), have led to much literature attention over... -
Designing polymer therapeutics to diffuse through mucin
Progress in the development of nano-sized hybrid therapeutics and nano-sized drug delivery systems - "nanomedicines" - over the last decade has been remarkable. One key... -
Muonium Defect Levels in 4H Silicon Carbide
We propose to obtain the temperature dependence of the diamagnetic spin-precession amplitudes up to 1100 K for the three electrical types of 4H-SiC in order to extract the Mu... -
Degenerate ground-states in Ho2-xYxSn2O7
Ho2-xYxSn2O7 is characterized by degenerate magnetic ground-states, which involve the magnetic structure for x->0 (Spin-Ice phase) and the two-fold degeneracy of the... -
Water-based gels of half N-acetylated chitosans; potential pharmaceutical exc...
These experiments are part of a much broader programme at the University of Reading. focused on the use of water-soluble half-acetylated chitosan as a mucoadhesive polymer,... -
Magnetic energy levels of the tridiminished-icosahedron magnetic molecule {Fe9}
We propose to conduct inelastic neutron scattering measurements on a deuterated polycrystalline sample of the {Fe9} molecule [(Fe9-3-O)4 (O3PPh)3(O2CCMe3)13] to...
