INTERACTIONS OF PAMAM DENDRIMERS WITH DESIGNER BIOSURFACTANTS AT THE SOLID/LI...
Poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers have been identified as potential gene vectors. We have studied their association with surfactants, dilauroylphospholiponucleosides (DLPN),... -
Diffusion studies using methane as a probe molecule to investigate the methan...
Methanol-to-Hydrocarbons (MTH) is an important industrial reaction. It is thought to work through a 'hydrocarbon pool' mechanism where the hydrocarbons retained within the... -
Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons: Understanding liquid structure for benchmarking of...
Asphaltenes are a complex and problematic fraction of crude oil that can precipitate, alter wettability and stabilise unwanted oil-in-water emulsions. Asphaltenes have a high... -
Surfactant mixing at hydrophilic solid/liquid interfaces: (A) air/water measu...
The overall objective is to model the amount and composition of adsorbed mixtures of three types of zwitterionic surfactant and two charged surfactants at the silica/water... -
Lipopolysaccharide Functions as Bacterial Receptors to Antimicrobial Peptides
Neutron reflection (NR) is well established for studying molecular films such as lipid monolayers. Its high depth resolution combined with deuterium labelling can determine the... -
Complex evolution of solution microstructure in LAS / nonionic surfactant mix...
This proposal is part of a broad programme of collaborative research between RAL / Oxford and Unilever, using predominantly scattering techniques to investigate the nature of... -
Can surfactants be pushed out of polymer layers by applying compression?
For many applications such as paints, foods and drug formulations, aggregation of colloidal particles is prevented by combining polymer and surfactant adsorption. Key to this... -
Study of Deep Eutectic Solvents dilutions: nanometer size domains and molecul...
Carbon materials with nanopore structures are of great importance for development of energy storage and gas adsorption devices. The critical parameter is pore size and it is... -
Frustrated Lewis pairs: encounter complexes in an ionic liquid
Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLPs) are combinations of bulky Lewis acids and bases, which cannot form acid-base complexes due to steric hindrance. They are capable of metal-free H2... -
Understanding Melt Phase Aggregation in Semicrystalline Polymer Blends
We have recently prepared and studied the surface properties of some well-defined multi-end functional polyethylenes. Whilst most of our surface studies indicate that these... -
Solvent-solute interations in PET recycling systems
Glycolysis of polyethylterephthalate (PET) catalysed by ionic liquid solvents could offer a metal-free low cost approach to chemical recycling of waste PET. This work will... -
The origin of the dissolution of cellulose in NaOH/urea aqueous solution at -...
Cellulose is produced over tens of billions of tons every year in the world. It is the one of the most abundant natural polymer resources. Compared with petroleum-based... -
Structure and solvation of LiNTf2/1,2,3-trimethoxypropane - a new bio-derived...
This work will study the structure a new lithium-based electrolyte produced using 1,2,3-trimethoxypropane, a bioderived low-toxicity green solvent, as a first stage towards the... -
Mimicking Pathogens : Floating Gram Negative Bacterial Membranes Containing t...
Recently we have been able to show two advances in the creation of realistic models of the Gram negative bacterial outer surface for use in biophysical and structural studies.... -
Solvation structure of sodium ions and hexa-fluorophosphate ions in organic c...
Here we propose to study the local structure of sodium in standard organic carbonate electrolytes for sodium ion batteries. Three different electrolytes are chosen to study; a... -
Composition depth profiling of novel spray-coated plastic solar cell materials
We propose to study a range of new lower energy gap organic photovoltaic (OPV) materials deposited by spray coating using neutron reflectivity. The new materials to be studied... -

Probing Solvation and Segregation in Multilayer Conducting Polymer Films
Tuning the colour of electrochromic conducting polymers can be achieved by layer upon layer deposition of multiphase components. This approach can offer advantages over other... -
Scrutinizing the role of the counterion in the axial coordination of the Pd(I...
The solution chemistry of Pt(II) and Pd(II) cations has attracted experimental and theoretical attention because of their relevance in catalytic processes and the... -
Hydrogenation of frustrated Lewis pairs in solution
It has been postulated that 'Frustrated Lewis Pairs' react after associating in an encounter complex held by dispersion forces, and that is it is this complex that interacts,...
