Investigation of the surface structure of anionic surfactants induced by the ...
This proposal is part of a major EPSRC (EP/GR065705) / Unilever funded programme to develop and control the spontaneous formation of surfactant multilayer structures at... -
Local and long-range ordering in concentrated nanotube solutions
Manipulating nanoparticles in liquids is crucial for their scalable implementation in future technologies. For example, such liquids can be used like paint to create uniform... -
Operando Analysis of Lithium/Sulfur Cells with SANS and deuterated solvents
Lithium sulfur (Li/S) batteries have a fivefold higher theoretical gravimetric energy density (2680 Wh/kgsulfur) than state-of-the-art lithium ion batteries. However, the strong... -
Smectic Wetting at Nematic Surfaces
We have been studying the interaction between nematic liquid crystals and interfaces. It has been found that a surface that anchors the director in a perpendicular orientation... -
Methane hydrate formation in the presence of surfactant
In this proposal we wish to study in situ formation of methane hydrates in surfactant solutions. The broad aim of this research is to enable us to understand how we can... -
Structural studies of protein at the oil-water interface
We would like to measure the adsorption isotherm for protein, milk B-casein using neutron reflectometery at the oil-water interface. These measurements will be carried out for... -
Contributions of ¿NH3+ torsions to phase transitions of glycine
It is proposed to investigate the torsional dynamics of the ¿NH3+ group of glycine-d2 in its three polymorphic forms using quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS). This study is... -
Feasibility study to search for a structural signal from nanobubbles in solut...
There has been much interest recently in the possible applications of nanobubbles in solution, due to their wide applications in many fields of science and technology, such as... -
Interaction of thermo-responsive deutrated nanogels with lipid monolayer at t...
Drug delivery through skin is an important delivery route. However, the outermost layer of the skin provides a formidable barrier to dermal absorption and penetration for... -
Local structure within Li+ depleted LiFePO4
Lithium iron phosphate is a commonly used cathode material in Li-ion batteries. The material exhibits a two phase system on lithiation and delithiation with narrow solid... -
In-situ neutron diffraction studies of hydrogen desorption and reversibility ...
We ask for 4 days beam time on GEM to study the dehydrogenation and subsequent rehydrogenation of Mg(11BD4)2. Mg(BH4)2 is currently one of the most promising lightweight... -
Hydrogen production from ammonia using lithium imide: an isotope study
We have recently discovered that light metal amides and imides are excellent cattalysts for the decomposition of ammonia. We request 3 days on POLARIS to perform in situ neutron... -
Crystal electric field (CEF) effects in heavy fermion system YbRh3Si7
We studied a new metamagnetic heavy-fermion (HF) compound YbRh3 Si7, synthesized for the first time. This is the first HF compound in the ScRh3Si7 family, for which the only... -

Ion Binding in Tetradecyltrimethylammonium Surfactant Micelle Solutions
This proposal continues our studies of surfactant micelles using NIMROD, to obtain previously inaccessible details of headgroup-ion interactions. In our previous experiments... -
NR study of surface adsorption of antibodies with and without non-ionic surfa...
Nonionic surfactants usually do not show affinity to proteins and they work via competitive surface and interfacial processes in abinary mixture. However, we show in this work... -
Neutron analysis of the structure of SrAl2O4 from 300 to 1273 K.
SrAl2O4 is a stuffed tridymite that has attracted a good deal of interest, since doping with Eu2+ leads to a material with elastic-luminescent response. The structure and phase... -
Model anionic/non ionic surfactant adsoption at the interface below room temp...
An experiment performed on INTER last year found extreme non ideal mixing between C12E8/SLES3 at the air water interface: this feature became more extreme as the temperature... -
Phase diagram of LAS molecule: SANS investigation into surfactant and lipid m...
This proposal would like SANS time to better understand the LAS phase diagram. This has been prompted by recent experiments which show the system is not fully understood under... -
Solvation and interaction of polymers showing lower critical solution tempera...
LCST, or ¿cloud point¿ is a property of some types of polymers in solution. At low temperatures, the polymers are fully solvated and exist as extended conformations in solution....
