Patterned, swellable hydrogels are finding increasing applications as sensing, optical focussing and actuation elements in Lab-on-a-chip structures because of their property...

We propose to determine the structures (polymer and solvent populations and spatial distributions) of polyaniline films deposited by different protocols. These involve different...

Nanoporous membranes are widely used in (bio)sensors, chromatography, charge storage devices, filtration and catalysis. With increasing efforts to develop microfabricated sytem-...

This experiment is part of a programme to study the effect of applied electric fields on the structure of biomimetic films formed at Au electrodes, with emphasis on...

Nanoporous membranes fabricated by polymerization around soluble templates have found many applications in (bio)sensors, charge storage devices, filtration and catalysis....

We propose time-resolved specular neutron reflectivity (NR) measurements during electrodeposition of polyaniline (PAni) films via different electrochemical control functions:...

We propose to determine the nucleation/growth processes and the structures (metal distributions and solvent population/distribution) of metallic films deposited insitu by...

We propose to develop a new and generic, multi-probe technique to characterize the mass, and changes in mass, of material probed in a NR experiment. This methodology will be...

Physical developer (PD) is a latent fingerprint development technique that is highly effective on paper and related surfaces, notably banknotes. The process exploits a redox...

Although the physical structure and electrochemical properties of thin conducting polymer films are known to be influenced by the method used to deposit them, our understanding...

We wish to make specular NR measurements on fluorophore functionalization of amine-functionalized polypyrrole (PPy-NH2) films. The critical issue is film penetration of solution...

With the advent of TS-II, there is a drive to probe more complex and multicomponent systems using neutron reflectivity. In such studies, confidence associated with model Nb fits...

We propose specular NR measurements on PEDOT films exposed to a novel room temperature ionic liquid, the deep eutectic solvent Propaline. The fundamental interest is that PEDOT...

Tuning the colour of electrochromic conducting polymers can be achieved by layer upon layer deposition of multiphase components. This approach can offer advantages over other...

The immersion deposition of silver onto copper and brass from deep eutectic solvents (DES) is a novel method for protecting the surface of printed circuit boards. Background...

Here we propose a study that will contribute to the final challenges of PhD training programme (Emma Palin). We will study the electrochemical dissolution of a bi-metallic films...

The proposed project is aimed at determining the nucleation/growth processes and structures (metal distributions and solvent population/distribution) of metallic films deposited...

We propose to study the composition of metallic films of Cr, Co & Ni using specular NR measurements during electrolytic growth in deep eutectic solvent media in order to...
