Multiscale time-resolving study of crystallisation in poly(e-caprolactone) ba...
We will exploit the unique capability of Nimrod in the study of the long standing issue of polymer crystallisation. We focus on polycaprolactone containing small quantities of... -
Structures of Titanium Dioxide Nanomaterials using Neutron Total Scattering
We propose to examine the structure of anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2) obtained by different synthetic techniques (including hydrothermal and sol-gel) and of different particle... -
Probing Ion Binding to Micelles ¿ Investigating the Hofmeister Series
This proposal continues our research on ion binding to surfactant micelles. Our recent work demonstrates that the details of water structure around micelles are now accessible... -
A total scattering study of the concentration and temperature dependence of s...
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are ubiquitous in our portable electronics, however they are ill suited for applications where cost or sustainability are of paramount importance,... -
The effect of confinement on the structure of alcohol-water mixtures
Compared with gas phase reactions, liquid phase catalytic processes are complex due to the effect of the solvent. The solvent controls many aspects of the overall reaction... -
Structural studies on drugs and lipids in amphiphilic solutions
How drugs cross the formidable blood brain barrier in order to function is not well understood, specifically with respect to the interplay between hydrophobic and hydrophilic... -
Total scattering study of the interactions of ammonia borane adsorbed in MCM-41
We ask for 4 days on NIMROD to study the atomic- and intermediate-range order of ammonia-borane (AB) intercalated into mesoporous MCM-41. Ammonia borane is one of the leading... -
Modelling Protein-Protein Interactions and the Hofmeister Effect
Nimrod is a unique instrument that bridges atomic resolution solution scattering with small angle scattering. The opportunity therefore exists to probe both the microscopic... -
Local microstructure investigations of lignin-derived hard carbon
Sodium ion batteries (NIB) are promising alternatives to the current lithium ion batteries: sodium is cheap, sustainable, and has similar properties to lithium. Search for an... -
Solvent density fluctuations and H-bonding between solute molecules in superc...
Supercritical CO2 is an interesting medium for supercritical fluid extraction of aromatic molecules, due to the low temperatures and pressures needed to the process. Methanol is... -

Unraveling the structural ordering of water in amorphous calcium carbonate us...
Calcium carbonates make up some of the most abundant minerals in the world. They are of great importance in geology and in the field of biomaterials as well as having several... -
Pressure and Temperature dependence of the CsPb(IxBr1-x)3 perovskites: candid...
Halide perovskites have been the focus of an intense research effort, ever since the discovery that they can be employed to fabricate highly efficient solar cells. One of the... -
Effect of Variation in the Anion on the Bulk Nanostructure of Protic Ionic Li...
In a recently published note we presented the first experimental evidence (obtained using the LoQ instrument at ISIS) for nanoscale segregation of short (< C4) alkyl chain... -
Characterization of heterogeneous solvent structure in a carbon capture fluid
We propose to use neutron scattering experiments to gain molecular level insight into an intriguing liquid structure observed in a water-free CO2-capture solvent. Switchable... -
Salts Dissolved in Salts: Ionic Liquid + inorganic salt mixtures
Ionic liquids (ILs) are low melting point organic salts that until recently were thought to have homogeneous microstructure. In recent SANDALS research,1 we showed pure ILs are... -
Solvation structures of cyclic compounds: the crown ethers
Crown ethers are cyclic molecules formed by joining ether groups into a ring. These compounds have many interesting solution properties, including their ability to bind strongly... -
Solvation and structure of iron oxide in a choline chloride/oxalic acid deep ...
We aim to investigate the solvation of iron oxide and zinc oxide in an environmentally friendly deep eutectic solvent system in order to understand how to engineer these new...
