Peptide resistance in asymmetric MRSA-mimetic vesicles
We have been investigating the influcence of the cationic staphylococcal lipid lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol (L-PG) on bacterial resistance to antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). Using... -
Framework Investigation of Germanosilicate Zeolites
We request 5 days on VESUVIO to study atomic momentum distributions within the frameworks of a series of SixGe(12-x)O24 zeolites with the SOD framework. Neutron... -
Vibrational Spectroscopic Analysis of NbOPO4Hx and Ru/NbOPO4Hx catalysts for ...
Lignin valorization is receiving increasing attention. We request 7 days on TOSCA to carry out inelastic neutron scattering (INS) study of two key chemical processes in lignin... -
Conformational behaviour of amphiphilic polymethacrylate-poly(acrylic acid) c...
We shall use SANS to investigate the conformational behaviour of a range of amphiphilic copolymers with varying architectures: graft, hyperbranched block, hyperbranched random,... -
Controlled Assembly of Cationic Polythiophene-Surfactant Complexes
We intend to study the phase behaviour of 2 cationic polythiophenes, P3MAHT and P3ImiHT, in the presence of the perfluorinated surfactant potassium... -
CATIONIC POLYMERS AS POTENTIAL GENE DELIVERY AGENTS: EVALUATION OF CONFORMATI...
Bio-responsive polymers hold great promise as delivery vehicles for drugs, peptides and proteins as their chemistry can be tuned to effect a change in physico-chemical... -
SANS from photoconductive hydrogel mixtures and their gelators.
Hydrogels are formed from a self?assembled network of fibres made up of small molecules (gelators) trap and hold water at just 1% by weight, or less, from the solution they are... -
Quantitative determination of the Bragg edge transmission analysis of 9 steel...
The Bragg edge transmission (BET) analysis is a technique exploiting the presence, position and shape of the edges which form in time of flight transmitted neutron beams. This... -
Magnetic alignment of fullerene-containing gel fibers
The magnetic field-driven alignment of a photoconductive gel formed by an alkylated fullerene-C60 in n-alkanes will be studied. These could find application in next-generation... -
Aza-crown-stabilized Alkali-Alkalide Systems: Solvent and metal effects on di...
We request 4 days on IRIS to investigate the diffusional and rotational dynamics of the alkalide forming, fully methylated aza-crown hexamethyl-hexacyclen (HMHC) in... -
Non-equilibrium kinetics in highly interacting polymer mixtures
We seek to investigate the non-equilibrium phenomena of a model polymer mixture by time-solved SANS and temperature jump experiments within (a) one-phase region and (b) one to... -
Ionic liquid containing microemulsions
The aim of this experiment is to characterise several novel ionic liquid ¿ oil and ionic liquid ¿ water microemulsions via SANS prior to their use in the synthesis of metallic... -
Studies of Free Radical Final States on Au nanoparticles by RF-muSR and ALC S...
Small-sized metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of long standing interest to both magnetism and heterogeneous catalysis. Recent µSR studies of bare Au NPs encapsulated in mesoporous... -
INS STUDY OF BIOCHAR AS SOLID ACID CATALYSTS
Pyrolysis is considered as a sustainable way to generate energy from bio-oil, however, biochar – a solid residue by-product– is inevitably produced in the production line. We... -
