Phase retrieval for non-trivial systems
Neutron reflectometry (NR) is a very powerful technique for the study of thin layers. It is able to measure composition, thickness and roughness and is a very penetrating... -
The interpenetration of two poly(ethylene oxide) polymer brushes under confin...
Coating two surfaces with polymer brushes has been shown on many occasions to reduce friction by orders of magnitude. These ultra-low frictions are believed to stem from be the... -
Interactions of native vs. modified protamines with Gram-negative model biome...
Protamines are cationic antimicrobial peptides found commonly in the sperm cells of fish such as herring and salmon that are particularly active against food-borne Gram-negative... -
Molecular Weight and Incipient Crystallinity Effects on Polymer Surface Segre...
We have established multi-end functional polymers as potent additives for spontaneous surface modification of blends. Since semi-crystalline polymers such as PE, PP, PET could... -
Neutron reflectivity studies on bulk heterojunction (BHJ) thin films
Polymer solar cells (PSCs) open up new perspectives in the solar cell market. The morphology of the active layer of PSCs plays a crucial role on the corresponding devices... -
Binding Particles with Proteins at Interfaces
Understanding and controlling the interaction of nanoparticles with biomaterials is key to alleviation of concerns about nanotoxicity. This knowledge can also be used to design... -
An off-specular neutron scattering study of the 'peristaltic mode' in the dew...
We plan to use the OFFSPEC SPIN-Echo reflectometer to study the mechanism of the 'peristaltic mode' in the spinodal dewetting of thin polymer films. In the peristaltic mode the... -
A new approach to monitoring copper corrosion using polarised neutron reflection
The aim of this experiment is to test a new approach to monitoring the corrosion of copper using polarised neutron reflection to simultaneously measure two contrasts with time.... -
Non-Fullerene Based Acceptors for Organic Solar Cells
Organic Solar Cells (OSCs) have attracted substantial commercial and scientific interest as they provide a pathway to realizing a renewable energy source that is portable... -
Encapsulation in Mixed Cat-anionic Surfactant Polymer Films
This proposal continues our investigations into polyelectrolyte-surfactant films at the air-solution interface. Using mixtures of cationic and anionic surfactants (CTAB/SDS) we... -
Oxidation of bilayer of DPPC on a mineral interface by aqueous OH radical ki...
Oxidation of atmospheric aerosol can produce cloud condensation nuclei capable of changing the reflectivity and lifetime of clouds. The oxidation of organic film on atmospheric... -
