Structure of biocompatible fluorescent microemulsions
Building from work previously carried out at ISIS (RB1410544) and pulished open-access in Chem. Commun. 2016, 25, 7344, we propose a SANS experiment to investigate the structure... -
SANS study of the effects of leucine-isoleucine sequences on the self-assembl...
In this work, we have selected a group of short peptides containing 4-5 Ile (I) and 1 Lys (K) and examined the effects of sequential substitution of one I by L on... -
Determination of SANS feasibility for precipitates in CuCrZr

Investigation of the arm exchange process in coordination star polymers using...
Coordination star polymers are a group of novel macromolecules with coordination metal-organic polyhedral (MOP) that make-up the core section. There is rare studies on the... -
Resolving mixing.demixing effects in hydrocarbon/fluorocarbon micelles
Surfactants ability to lower surface tension and act as solubilising agents is critical for their wide use in everyday products. An oily hydrocarbon (HC) "tail group" attached... -
Micellization in H/F-Carbon surfactant mixtures used in fire-fighting foams
The aim is to probe the micellar compositions of fluorocarbon/ hydrocarbon mixtures used in commercial fire-fighting foam formulations (Figure 1) using contrast variation SANS.... -
Formulating polymer solutions to stabilise polymeric foams
Polyurethane foams (PUF) are commonly prepared by mixing Pluronic type copolymers and isocyanate reactive monomers in the presence of additives e.g. catalysts, blowing agents... -
Controlling the morphology of fullerene-free polymer solar cells using additi...
We have recently demonstrated, using small angle neutron scattering in combination with other techniques, that in organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) the additive... -
SANS Studies on Aggregate Structures of Peptide Amphiphiles
Peptide amphiphiles have special self-assembling behaviors and important aggregate properties, which make them have many potential applications both in vitro and in vivo. The... -
Understanding nanoscale inhomogeneities in industrial films
The world wide trade in chemicals is shipped via large tankers. These tankers have their holds coated in epoxy resin based systems. The major issue in their use is the waste and... -
Self-assembly of low surface energy single chain surfactants at low and high ...
The research topic is Green Low Surface Energy Materials (LSEMs), with the aim to develop new hydrocarbon (HC) architectures to replace environmentally hazardous fluorocarbon... -
A study of nanoprobe size changes within a gel for a remote strain detection ...
We have created a new probe that is able to remotely measure the strain within injectable gels. In this set of experiments we aim to measure the performance of the probe within... -
Self-assemble behaviour of surfactant in alcohol/water co-solvents
The self-assembly behavior of surfactant in alcohol/water co-solvent is quite different from aqueous solution, and has got less attention. Nevertheless, these systems have great... -
Optimizing micellar drug solubilisation using surfactant designed with a hydr...
In our recent research at Kings we have shown that significant increases in micellar drug solubilization can be achieved by matching' the hydrophobe of a drug with the... -
Constructing analogues of gemini and oligomeric surfactants through noncovale...
Gemini-like and oligomeric-like surfactants can be constructed by single-chain or gemini surfacants with connecting molecules through noncovalent binding without complicated... -
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... -
SANS study of the interaction of model plant leaf waxes with non-ionic surfac...
The understanding of the plant wax-surfactant interaction process is crucial to the development of more effective pesticide and fungicide formulations, essential for improving... -
Fundamentals of molecular self-assembly in deep eutectic solvents (DES)
Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are considered promising green solvents for future industrial formulations due to their biocompatibility, low cost, green production, and... -
How do polymeric de-emulsifiers work? Contrast variation studies with model w...
The project is to understand fundamental structure-performance relationships of chemical demulsifiers in water-in-crude oil (w/o) systems. In particular, to understand how... -
SANS to Monitor the Accessibility of Electrolytes into Aqueous Based Supercap...
Supercapacitors are devices capable of absorbing and delivering large amounts of energy over short time-scales. They are ideal for high-power/low-energy applications such as...
