IINS study of the terminating protons in the basic structural units of graphi...
Carbon blacks can be graphitised to different degrees, whereas glassy (vitreous) carbons, which are used as electrode material, in electronics and construction, and as... -
SANS evaluation of novel nanocolloidal drug carriers
With the beamtime requested we plan to employ small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) to study novel nanocolloidal drug carriers prepared using lipids, surfactants and... -
Solubilisation in Zwitterionic Micelles: Effect of Structure
The project aims to probe the relationship between surfactant structure, the micelles formed in solution, and the type of drug molecules that the micelles solubilise. Once... -
Structural and mechanistic study of nanocapsule / hydrogel composites for dru...
The targeted delivery of non-water soluble drugs for applications such as cancer remains a major challenge. Nanocapsules are new materials that can act as a depot for such drugs... -
Structure and mobility of surfactant additives in PDMS resin
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... -
On the structure and composition of non-lamellar lipid-based liquid crystalli...
Liquid crystalline particles consisting of glycerol dioleate (GDO) / soy phosphatidylcholine (SPC) mixture and stabilised by polysorbate 80 (P80) have proven to be suitable as... -
SANS study of interaction of iron with alginate
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... -
Origin of co-nonsolvency, based on the Flory-Huggins interaction parameters o...
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... -
The In-Situ Investigation of Proton Exchange Fuel Cell Membranes under Contro...
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... -
Tuning the Magnetic Properties of γ-Fe2O3 Fe3O4 Thin Films for Atom Tr...
In this work we will investigate how the magnetic properties of nanometer thick iron-oxide films can be manipulated by heating them in air. Our preliminary results indicate that... -
Magnetic interactions in ferromagnetic topological insulator multilayer struc...
Topological insulators are one of the most important recent discoveries in condensed matter physics. The topological surface state can become gapped when ferromagnetic order is... -
Locating proteins in curved lipid bilayers
Non-lamellar lipid phases are known to play important roles in-vivo and have attracted enormous interest as biocompatible scaffolds in applications form drug delivery to... -
Bacterial lipoteichoic-acid (LTA) micelles: From molecular self-assembly to m...
Whilst the biological effect of lipoteichoic-acid (LTA) contributing to bacterial infections is widely reported in microbiological and immunological studies, very little is... -
Micelles of highly branched surfactants at the design limit
Results from this experiment will help develop to design 21st century surfactants (better performance with lower environmental consequences) by gaining essential information on... -
Probing the viability of water-in-CO2 microemulsions with Headgroup-free amph...
Recent SANS studies of an unusual headgroup-free surfactant (Nohead FC6-HC4) produced data that implied the formation of W/CO2 microemulsions (MEs) at a particular pressure (P)... -
Adsorbtion from nematic mixtures: bulk characterization
The aim is to measure any tendency towards phase separation in a nematic mixture to complement an adsorption study on the same mixture. The base is 4-pentyl 4¿- cyanobiphenyl... -
Investigating the breakdown of spring-exchange coupling at low temperature on...
Strong magnets with a high energy product are vital when optimizing the efficiency in the electricindustry. This can be achieved by making spring-exchange coupled magnets....
