Understanding the properties of nucleobase functionalized nanostructures
We have recently prepared a number of new nucleobase functionalised polymers which undergo interesting and unexpected self-assembly. We hope to use SANS to explore further the... -
Understanding the effect of pressure on ionic liquid structure
There are few studies on the effect of pressure on ionic liquids; however, there are indications that, at pressures around 1.0 GPa, these systems undergo a significant change in... -
Understanding the properties of phosphlipid-homopolymer self assembles
We hope to explore the self assembly properties of a novel chain end functionalised homopolymer to better understand its structure and enable tuning of its properties to enable... -
Understanding the ground state wavefunction in PrPtAl and YbNiSn
The proposal addreses the compounds PrPtAl and YbNiSn. Both systems are canted ferromagnets with both materials undergoing moment reorientation transitions as a function of... -
Understanding the Earth's Core-Mantle Boundary: Crystal and Magnetic Structur...
The physical properties of the post-perovskite phase of MgSiO3 control the dynamics of the lower thermal boundary layer of the Earth¿s mantle, but many of these properties... -
Understanding the superconductivity in YbSb2
The number of Type I binary of ternary alloys is small. Recently, YbSb2 is reported to be a type I superconductor. However, it has an unusual phase diagram, which might show a... -
Understanding the "post-perovskite" structure (II): the Behaviour of CaPtO3 a...
Recently, our view of the Earth¿s lower mantle changed dramatically. It had been thought that two major phases were present throughout all of the lower mantle:... -
Understanding the mechanism of benzyl alcohol oxidation using supported Au-Pd...
Gold, in its nano-scale, has been found to be very effective catalyst for oxidation reactions. More recently, it was shown that supported Au-Pd catalysts can be used for... -

Understanding enhanced thermoelectric properties of sodium cobaltate doped by...
The thermoelectric power factor for (Na1-y¿My¿)0.8CoO2 is dramatically increased when M = Sr, but it is essentally unchanged from the pure compound when M = Ca. Our previous SXD... -
Understanding Phospho-L-Serine (PS) role in the Organization of Cholesterol C...
Our goal is to understand the role of POPS, a lipid component only found in the inner leaflet of plasma membrane, in the organization of cholesterol in cell membranes. Our... -

Antimicrobial Peptide Binding & Rearrangement in Model Membranes ¿ Building a...
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are attractive drug candidates because of their selectivity and speed of action against bacteria. We have developed a novel approach to delivering... -
Understanding Amphiphilic Self-Assembly in and by Protic Ionic Liquids
The goal of this project is to understand the intermolecular forces that promote amphiphile self assembly in ethylammonium nitrate (EAN), a room temperature ionic liquid (IL).... -
Understanding Melt Phase Aggregation in Semicrystalline Polymer Blends
We have recently prepared and studied the surface properties of some well-defined multi-end functional polyethylenes. Whilst most of our surface studies indicate that these... -
Understanding the liquid structure of binary ionic liquids
This proposal aims to extend our understanding of ionic liquid structure and determine the effect of a short and long alkyl chain length ionic liquid on the nanoscale... -
Understanding the mechanism of benzyl alcohol oxidation using supported Au-Pd...
This proposal is a continuation of RB1000003. The aim of the present experiment is to gain further insight into the mechanism of benzyl alcohol oxidation using supported Au-Pd... -
Understanding the structural changes in bioactive aluminium-doped phosphate g...
Additions of a small amount of alumina to bioactive phosphate-based glass significantly improves the formation of the hydroxycarbonate apatite layer on the surface when exposed... -
Understanding the Affect of Lipid Tail Saturation on Anaesthetic Interaction ...
The mechanism of general anaesthetic action is poorly understood despite their widespread use. It is hoped that investigating the interaction of anaesthetics with lipid bilayers... -
Understanding Micelle Formation in Binary Ionic Liquid Mixtures
Neutron diffraction will be used to investigate and compare the structure of binary mixtures of ionic liquids above and below the critical micelle concentration. Mixtures of...
