We propose to use SANS to probe the self organised formation of P3HT nanowires in a solution of deuterated chlorobenzene over a 48 hr period in order to better understand the...

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...

Non-ionic/metallosurfactant (P123/CTAF) mixed micelles are used as templates for the hydrothermal synthesis of mesoporous ferrisilicate materials. It was hypothesized that...

Polysiloxane materials are commonly used in marine coatings due to their inherently low surface energy and flexibility which makes them suitable base materials for foul release...

Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK with approximately 41,000 individuals in the UK diagnosed annually. Importantly it is estimated that over half of all...

Co-solvency and Co-nonsolvency are two extreme phenomena in the field of polymer solution. The former is the phenomenon that a mixture of two nonsolvent forms a good solvent for...

Neutron scattering will allow to advance the understanding of lipoprotein behavior in solution and at the interface of relevant biological interfaces. Here we focus on HDL...

The aim of this work is to use small angle neutron scattering (SANS) to probe the vapour sorption of the ionomeric component of novel proton exchange membranes as a function of...

We would like to use SANS to explore the mechanism for preparation and properties of cylindrical micelles. We hope to obtain key information relating to the growth mechanism...

Understanding the nature of protein translocating events through bacterial pores offers an uniqueopportunity to develop novel drug delivery systems, whilst also providing...

Most of the energy that we gain from the breakdown of sugars and other fats is harnessed by mitochondria, the 'power plants' of our cells. However,, specialised cells in some...

Results from this experiment will help develop to design 21st century surfactants (better performance with lower environmental consequences) by gaining essential information on...

Surfactant systems responsive to pH, temperature, CO2, and light are known. Our new work has shown for the first time, magneto-responsive surfactants (also being ionic liquids...

Acquired multidrug resistance (MDR) in pathogenic microbials is a world-wide threat to human health. Several MarR–like proteins regulate the expression of efflux pumps, which...

This collaborative study with the chemical engineering groups from University of Innsbruck, Austria and Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece is part of this large EU...

We request two days’ beam time on SANS2D for the study of radiation-grafted anion-exchange membranes, both dry and hydrated under different ratios of D2O/H2O. These materials...

This projects aims to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between processing conditions, active layer morphology and device performance in polymer solar...

We propose to study an effect of uniaxial pressure on a magnetic structure of triangular antiferromagnet PdCrO2. The experiment will mark a technical milestone in development of...

Building from experimental kinetic work already carried out, we will investigate the initial steps in the assembly mechanism of gemini surfactants that form fibrous gels in...
