Using a simple model we wish to mimic the lipid structure of the stratum corneum (the top layer of the skin). The simple model offers several advantages to our research area...

Over the last two decades, many polymers have been tested to increase CO2 viscosity for applications in enhanced oil recovery using CO2 (CO2-EOR). Unfortunately, conventional...

As a new group of synthetic biosurfactants, the acyl-L-carnitines offer potential for different applications including working as edible biocides. Whilst extensive studies have...

The aim of this experiment is to investigate surfactant aggregation in ionic liquids and also ionic liquid ¿ oil and ionic liquid ¿ water microemulsions via SANS. Contrast...

Nanoscale magnetic skyrmions are swirl-like magnetisation entities that satisfy topological quantisation conditions. They can therefore not be easily unwound into another...

Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are a class of solar cells that harvest photogenerated excitations ('excitons') and split them into free charges to generate electrical power. A...

The archetype chiral system MnSi belongs to the family of non-centrosymmetric cubic helimagnets where a helimagnetic ordering exists below the critical temperature of 29 K. This...

x-ray radiography is familiar to everyone who visits a dentist. Equally well known is that fact that x-ray radiography is not well suited to seeing contrast between different...

We request 5 days (15 shifts) with CRISP to perform specular measurements on novel functionalized SrTiO3(substrate)/complex FM oxide/small molecules/ FM metal nanostructures to...

Spin echo small-angle neutron scattering (SESANS) beamtime is requested to study the growth of polymer nanolatices in novel microemulsion systems. The natural incompatibility of...

Low molecular weight gels are formed by the self-assembly of small molecules into fibres that entangle to form a matrix. Hydrogels are an important class, as these are typically...

Cyclic peptides with alternating side chain stereochemistry are capable of self-assembling into long nanotubes (CPNTs). The conjugation of polymers to these peptides renders the...

We shall demonstrate the use of neutron reflectometry to obtain three-dimensional structures in a non-invasive experiment. Spinodal dewetting is one of the few areas where...

Magnetic skyrmions have a robust topological magnetic structure, which makes them ideal for use as binary information carriers. The skyrmions appear in a well-ordered lattice...

We would like to explore the potential of energy-dependent neutron imaging, in view of the future Bragg edge transmission analysis options on IMAT and LARMOR. The experiments...

The development of SESANS as a measurement probe of structures with length scales in the size range of 100nm-20micrometers has progressed steadily over the past 5-10 years. The...

A neutron radiography study will be conducted on tin- and lead-rich organ pipes fragments. We will try to infer, by energy selective neutron imaging too, whether different...

For the last two decades, many polymers have been tested to increase CO2 viscosity for enhanced oil recovery using CO2 (CO2-EOR). Unfortunately, conventional HC-polymers were...

Co-polymers confined in small droplets may have a structure different from that in the bulk. These droplets are produced by annealing a spin-coated polymer film with a thickness...

The recent discovery of skyrmions and skyrmion lattices in materials with no inversion symmetry and their corresponding potential applications of Skyrmions in magnetic...
