Organisms which live in the presence of large quantities of salt are known as halophilic (meaningsalt-loving). Halophilic proteins are of great interest due to their ability to...

We will investigate a series of aluminophosphate systems, in particular related to small pore materials and determine the short and medium range order structures and more...

Our recent work demonstrates that the details of solvent structure around micelles are accessible using Empirical Potential Structure Refinement methods combined with neutron...

We propose to study the influence of deposition rates and annealing effects on microporous amorphous solid water samples (ASW) using NIMROD. The data will allow us to monitor...

Over the past few years, extensive developments have been made in the use of neutron diffraction for structural studies of liquids and amorphous materials at high pressure....

Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are mixtures of organic salts and hydrogen bond donors, that form strongly hydrogen-bonded room temperature liquids. DES share many features with...

Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are novel liquids composed of inexpensive components, and are non-flammable, with a low volatility. One problem with DES is frequently their...

The safe storage of spent nuclear fuels in an underground repository requires the fundamental chemistry to be well understood so predictions of solubility behaviour over 100,000...

The proposal aims to use neutron scattering coupled with NMR spectroscopy to study the selective hydrogenation of a fragrance (cinnamaldehyde) to high value products. The study...

Co-solvency is a phenomenon where a small quantity of co-solvent is added to a bulk solvent to enhance the solubility of a desired solute in the mixture. Correspondingly, there...

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are molecular mixtures similar to ionic liquids, having melting points below room temperature. DES share many of the features of ionic liquids (low...

This experiment will determine the rate at which pore collapse occurs in (compact) Amoprhous Solid Water (ASW), determining the size and shape changes involved in the pore...

Alkali aluminosilicate gels are important materials as precursors of crystalline (zeolites) and amorphous (glasses, porous silica/aluminas) materials. The structure of...

The manufacture of every ton of cement emits approximately 0.8 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, comprising 5–7% of the global human-made CO2 emissions. A low pH - low CO2 class...

A understanding of the aqueous chemistry of the actinide ions is not as well developed as for transition metals or the lanthanides. Fundamentally important information such as...

This experiment will establish the structural changes that occur in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW), a porous material that can be formed by vapour-depositing water onto a cold...

We request 2 days on SANDALS to characterise the temperature dependent properties of amorphous icy particles as they will be used in a more detailed study on NIMROD in Feburary...

This proposal constitutes a new direction in our research on surfactant-templated inorganic materials. These nanostructured materials are composited of ordered arrays of...

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are complexes of organic salts and neutral hydrogen bond donors. They are tuneable, low volatility liquids that are environmentally benign and which...

Our previous proposals on ceramic glazes were rejected due to the high number of chemical components listed in the proposed (industrially typical) samples. Unfortunately the...
