Structure of Colloidal Titania Particles in Water vs Organic Solvent
Dye sensitised solar cells, based around colloids of the wide bandgap semiconductor TiO2 with bound dyes have potential to provide a cheap,sustainable source of solar energy... -
Structure of Cellulose Nanofibril Gels with Alcohols
Our group has been working partially oxidized cellulose nanofibrils which form gels in aqueous formulations. Recently we have observed that these fibrils also gel when dialysed... -
Solubilisation of Drug Molecules in Nonionic Surfactant Micelles: Structural ...
This proposal aims to understand how the structure of non-ionic surfactant micelles affects the amount of fungicides solubilised. SANS is a technique unique for unravelling the... -
Impact of homo- and hetero-association of complex molecular nano-sized drug d...
The present proposal concerns a PEGylated, hydrophobic drug containing polylysine dendrimer that demonstrates unexplained batch-to-batch variability in that two batches of the... -
Interactions between phenylboronic acid modified polyacrylamides and surfactants
We are currently investigating phenylboronic acid modified polyacrylamides with variable phenylboronic acid block lengths as a route to glucose sensors with controllable... -
Encapsulation of perfume actives with biodegradable amphiphilic graft copolymers
Amphiphilic non-linear graft copolymers formed by biocompatible blocks are attractive candidates for the encapsulation of actives in several applications, such as drug delivery,... -
Characterisation of self-assembly in cationic-oligoanion mixtures: from micel...
The proposal is part of an EPSRC funded programme (EP/GR065705) on surfactant multilayer structures, and involves the interaction between ionic surfactants and oligoions. It... -
Investigation of cement pore structure evolution in underground repository co...
It is proposed that radioactive waste generated in the Netherlands be buried underground in Boom clay formations. As this will need to be stored for hundreds of thousands of... -
Interactions between alkylmethacrylate modifed polymers and surfactant micelles
We have observed formation of polymer-surfactant films at the air interface having a range of structures, related to their solution interactions. The films form with... -

Elucidating the microstructure of dipeptide-based gelators
Dipeptide-based gelators can form hydrogels at low concentrations using a number of means. We have found that the method by which the gels are formed can have a profound effect... -
Impact of particle properties on the structure of supramolecular hydrogels
For biomaterial applications, it is important that the properties of self-assembled hydrogels are well controlled and match the requirements of the application. The influence of... -
The structure of particle stabilised foams
Many formulated products pass through or end up as foams, comprising immiscible millimeter sized bubbles dispersed into an aqueous continuous phase. Frequently, surfactants or... -
Effects of pH and ionic strength on stability and structure of lipid-polymer ...
Nanostructured lipid aggregates offer enormous potential as tools for membrane structural biology and biophysics. Styrene-Maleic Acid Lipid Particles have a number of attractive... -
E/T scaling and quantum critical fluctuations in Sr3Ru2O7
Nowadays, Fe3O4 iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 MNPs) have attracted attention as highly performing contrast agents for Magnetic Resonance Imaging technique (MRI), aiming to... -
CO2 foams stabilized by W/CO2 interfacially active hydrocarbon surfactants an...
CO2 foams can be formed in water/carbon dioxide (W/CO2) mixtures with the aid of W/CO2 interfacially active hydrocarbon surfactants and surface treated silica nanoparticles... -
Pickering emulsions stabilized with oxidised cellulose nanofibrils and starch
Our group has been working functionalised cellulose nanofibrils which form gels in aqueous formulations. Previously we have used these fibrils to stabilise oil-in-water... -
Molecular Mechanistic Processes of Complexation between DNA and Cationic Copo...
We have previously used LOQ to identify the complex (polyplex) structures formed between a short single strand DNA and a cationic diblock copolymer MPC30-DEA60. The SANS... -
Fundamentals of Nanotoxicity: The Role of Nanoparticles in Lowering the Energ...
Despite the increasing use of nanoparticles (NPs), our current knowledge of how NPs interact with the human body or the environment remains limited. Of a number of mechanisms, a... -
Structural development of magnetite chains
One dimensional (1D) magnetic nanostructures exhibit anisotropic magnetic properties and thereby differ from unstructured materials. However, magnetic chains are energetically...
