Isotope effects in the dynamics of hydrogen bonded liquids
An investigation into the dynamics of diffusion in water and methanol when different isotopic ratios are used. This aims to clarify the extent of any adverse effects when... -
Hydrophilic Melt Additive Segregation in Polyolefins
Small molecule additives are used in melt processing, sometimes to lubricate extrusion or to provide bespoke hydrophilic surfaces. Both applications require the additive to... -
H-bonding pattern in high-pressure polymorphs of carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are compounds most vital for all living organisms. Thanks to their multiple hydroxyl groups they can create numerous short-range interactions. Therefore they are... -
A High-Pressure investigation on 3,4,5-Trinitropyrazole
This proposal will explore the effect of elevated pressure on the 3,4,5-Trinitropyrazole (TNP). TNP releases a large amount of dinitrogen gas as a detonation product which is... -

The mechanism of lipid transport in Gram-negative bacteria
The bacterial cell envelope is one of the best targets for antimicrobial development. It is this envelope that harbours the instruments of microbial warfare, preventing its... -
Probing the internal structure of ethyl butyrate containing microemulsions us...
The proposal aims to establish the location of the oil, ethyl butyrate in dodecyldimethylamine-N-oxide (DDAO) microemulsions. Molecular dynamic simulations have proposed that a... -
Ion distribution in light-emitting electrochemical cells
Semiconducting polymers are researched as alternatives to inorganic materials for use in electronic devices, such as solar cells or organic light-emitting diodes. Polymers are... -
Do hydroxyl radicals penetrate the organic monolayer at the air-water interface?
The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important climatic effects.... -
Study of Association of Novel Zwitterionic Materials in Aqeous Solution for E...
New polyionic zwiterionic salts have been developed that show extreme hydrophilicity, offering potential to form microsegregated structures in the presence of water. In these... -
Search for magnetic ordering in the high pressure metallic state of LuNiO3 & ...
It has very recently been shown that Mott-insulators located at the crossover regime closer to the itinerant side, such as RNiO3, undergo a pressure-induced transition into a... -
Quasielastic scattering in stuffed spin ices: defects or low lying singlets?
The subjects of this proposal, Ho2+xTi2-xO7-x/2, are brand new materials1 related to Ho2Ti2O7, a spin ice2,3. They have the remarkable property of remaining disordered at very... -
Thermal expansion of persubstituited aromatics I: benzene.
Benzene is probably the most studied compound in the history of organic chemistry. Whenever a new experimental technique or theoretical method is being developed most of the... -
Adsorption of surfactants used in fire-fighting foams
The aim is to use Neutron Reflectivity (NR) to gain essential information on adsorption properties of practical fluorotelomer surfactants used in fire-fighting foam formulations... -
Local structure studies in the pressure-induced order-disorder phase transiti...
BaTiO3 is often thought of as the classic example of a ferroelectric material, with a well-defined, widely-taught phase diagram. However, the nature of the ferroelectric phase... -
Me-ND311BD4: a temperature dependent study of its crystal structure and decom...
We request 4 days on HRPD with the IGAn apparatus to follow the structural changes of Me-ND4 11BD4 as a function of temperature. The high resolution of HRPD will allow us to... -
Self-assembled Floating Lipid Bilayers: What Forces Are Causing the Bilayer t...
Recently (RB19100102) we have discovered that floating bilayers composed of fluid phase lipids can be produced by deposited vesicles onto charge modified oligo(ethylene... -
SESANS of beetle scales and butterfly wings
Neutron scattering and in particular SESANS is able to give us excellent ensemble averaging of the optical properties of materials which exhibit structural colour. We plan to... -
Following the formation of Ho2Ge2O7 pyrochlore using high-pressure neutron di...
When synthesised at high pressure and temperature, holmium germanate adopts the pyrochlore structure. Because of its geometry, materials with this structure often have exotic... -
Ultra-rapid microwave materials synthesis in-situ; a microwave reactor for ti...
Microwave techniques are of interest to the materials chemistry community as they allow access to new metastable materials, and offer synthetic routes that are considerably...
