Polystyrene latex - 'single crystal' structure studies and melting under flow
For deionised, charge stabilised latices, there has been some uncertainty about the stacking sequence of close packed layers in samples at equilibrium. The ABCA stacking in... -
A SANS Study of Hydration Shell and Magnetic Field Alignment of Amyloid Pepti...
We will perform neutron scattering experiments (SANS) to probe the mechanism of alignment of amyloid peptides on drying in the presence of a 2T magnetic field, as well as the... -
D2O Vapour Diffusion at the Air Water Interface
A theoretical estimate of the H/D exchange rate for an open trough (e.g. D2O in ambient atmosphere, 50% relative humidity) yields an amount of exchanged liquid of the order of... -
Proton Zero Point Energy Effects on the Folding of Proteins
Earlier experiment at ISIS have shown that water responds to the distortion of the hydrogen bond network by delocalizing some of the protons in the vicinity of the defects. That... -
Exchange kinetics of complex coacervates core micelles
Coacervates have been studied for a long time for their unusual properties: they are dense networks of charged polymers that are soluble in water. Instead of flocculating when... -
Determining the Order in Aqueous Solutions of Pharmaceuticals
We request 6 days on NIMROD to collect total scattering neutron diffraction data of aqueous solutions of paracetamol and caffeine. While much effort has gone into improving the... -
Ionic Liquid ¿ Water Interactions
This project aims to examine the structure of microemulsions formed by water and 1-methyl-3-ethylimidazolium-based ionic liquids with the acetate or octanoate anion. These... -
A Time-Resolved SANS Study of the Gelation Mechanisms of Tetrapeptide Hydroge...
Time-resolved SANS will be used to investigate the mechanisms and kinetics of ordering of aseries of novel designed tetrapeptide-based hydrogelators. These inexpensive materials... -
Zwitterion doped PEDOT:PSS bulk morphology modification as a function of dopi...
We propose to use SANS to study the intra-particle information (size, shape, interactions) of pristine and zwitterion doped PEDOT:PSS in order to have a better understanding of... -
Spontaneous surface multilayer formation in oligoamine ¿ surfactant mixtures
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...
