This SANS experiment was proposed by 4 PhD students from 3 different institutions in a Marie-Curie Training Network. They are all in the second year of their PhD and their...

This proposal is to perform SANS contrast measurements on three protein/DNA interactions currently worked on at the Research Complex at Harwell. This is part of an ongoing...

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

The aim is to probe the mixed micellar compositions of three common industrial fluorotelomer surfactants used in fire-fighting foam formulations (Figure 1) using contrast...

With the beamtime requested we plan to employ small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) to study novel nanocolloidal drug carriers prepared using lipids, surfactants and...

Progress in the development of nano-sized hybrid therapeutics and nano-sized drug delivery systems - "nanomedicines" - over the last decade has been remarkable. One key...

Due to the naturally low viscosity of liquid CO2 (0.1-1.0 cP pressure/temperature dependent) the CO2 is prone to ¿fingering¿, limiting the efficiency of CO2-EOR [1]. In order to...

We have been investigating the influcence of the cationic staphylococcal lipid lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol (L-PG) on bacterial resistance to antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). Using...

Cellulose is an important natural material used in many industrial applications, such as food and medicine. Cellulose micro-fibrils (CMF) are produced from wood, plants, and...

The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin B (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents that can circumvent the...

Liquid crystalline particles consisting of glycerol dioleate (GDO) / soy phosphatidylcholine (SPC) mixture and stabilised by polysorbate 80 (P80) have proven to be suitable as...

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) can be formed from glycerides and loaded with diverse cargo for healthcare applications. A key advantage of LNPs over liposomes is the significant...

Colloidal dispersions of organic semiconducting nanoparticles (NPs) have shown promise for the generation of active layers in organic solar cells.Composite NPs containing a...

The aim of this experiment is to investigate surfactant aggregation in ionic liquids and also ionic liquid ¿ oil and ionic liquid ¿ water microemulsions via SANS. Contrast...

Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly, leading interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation....

Conjugated polythiophenes (PTs) have emerged as a promising class of material in organic solar cells. The device performance depends on the inherently-linked optoelectronic...

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

The proposal aims to establish the location of the oil, ethyl butyrate in dodecyldimethylamine-N-oxide (DDAO) microemulsions. Molecular dynamic simulations have proposed that a...

The aim is to probe micellar structures of three common industrial fluorotelomer surfactants used in fire-fighting foam formulations (Figure 1) using contrast variation SANS....

Recurring infection following dental interventions such as fillings is the most common reason for failure, leading to further treatments including root canal therapy, where the...
