The pharmaceutical industry has been described as being 'in a period of crisis' as the number of drug approvals relative to most major pharmaceutical companies Research and...

The term cononsolvency has been used to describe a situation in which a polymer is less soluble in a mixture of two cosolvents than it is in either one of the pure solvents. If...

A large number of chemicals are currently obtained by catalytic synthetic processes, but usually in most of these processes the catalyst remains in the reaction medium during...

We request 2 days on SANDALS to characterise the temperature dependent properties of amorphous icy particles as they will be used in a more detailed study on NIMROD in Feburary...

Borate solution is a much peculiar substance, in which not only hydrated cation but also varied borate speciation such as [B3O3(OH)4–], [B4O5(OH)42–], [B(OH)4–] and [B(OH)3] are...

In the late 1960s, a molecular theory of sweet taste was proposed, based on the presence of a ?functional structure? in all sweeteners, eliciting the sweet response via the...

Carbonates and phosphates are highly important in biomineralization. They are found as hydroxyapatite (Ca5(PO4)3OH) in bone or calcite/aragonite(CaCO3) in seashells and...

Biominerals, including calcium carbonates, are found in a range of organisms. Although amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is inherently unstable, it is a key material in...

This proposal is concerned with determining the active species of the polymerisation catalyst comprising ansa-bridged indenyl zirconium complexes supported with MAO on silica...

New polyionic zwiterionic salts have been developed that show extreme hydrophilicity, offering potential to form microsegregated structures in the presence of water. In these...

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are formed by complexing appropriate organic salts and neutral hydrogen bond donor species to produce chemically tuneable, low volatility liquids...

Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is a transient phase in one of the most important biomineralisation systems in animals (s.g.) such as crustaceans. The literature reports many...

There is an increasing urgency to find stable and lightweight hydrogen storage materials for clean transport applications. Promising options being investigated include Mg-based...

Carbonates and phosphates are highly important in biomineralization. They are found as hydroxyapatite (Ca5(PO4)3OH) in bone or calcite/aragonite(CaCO3) in seashells and...

Over the past few years, extensive developments have been made in the use of neutron diffraction for structural studies of liquids and amorphous materials at high pressure....

Citric acid is not only a molecule of fundamental importance for cell respiration but also used in multiple and varied industrial applications including food industry and...

Among the most important features affecting the behaviour of Ionic Liquids (IL) and their mixtures with molecular liquids (ML), ion pairing is attracting a great attention. This...

The appearance of multiple crystal forms is one of the bottlenecks in pharmaceutical formulation. To date the result of a crystallisation experiment cannot be predicted and we...

We request 5 days on Sandals to study the interactions of the neurotransmitters dopamine, L-dihydroxyphenylalanine and norepinephrine in aqueous solution. The interactions of...

We propose to use neutron scattering to determine the Al-O distances in aluminosilicate and aluminoborate glasses, an information that can only be given by scattering...
