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

We would like to use SANS to explore the mechanism for preparation and properties of cylindrical micelles. We hope to obtain key information relating to the growth mechanism...

Organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells have the potential to be the basis of a renewable energy source that is inexpensive and portable. Current state-of-the-art solution-processed...

We request two days’ beam time on SANS2D for the study of radiation-grafted anion-exchange membranes, both dry and hydrated under different ratios of D2O/H2O. These materials...

The aim of this collaborative proposal is to unravel micro- and nano-structures underlying unusually high solution viscosities from mixed surfactant systems. SANS is a unique...

We wish to investigate the magnetic structure of a series of magnetic multilayers using a new technique we have successfully implemented called Spin Echo Modulated Small Angle...

This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding how collagen based polypeptides interact with ionic surfactants using SANS. Both SDS and C12TAB will be...

In this proposal we will investigate hypothesized asymmetric diffusion of water into lipid cubic (QII) phases. This asymmetric diffusion, which is relevant to the behavior of...

Cyclic peptide-polymer conjugates can readily self-assembly into long nanotubes, and are being extensively studied for biomedical applications. Recently, we have conjugated a...

Surfactants have been widely used in cosmetics, detergents and pharmaceutical industries. These applications are always accompanied by surfactant-induced skin irritation which...

N-acyl amino acids are surfactants with attractive applications in different technological fields. They are referred to as mild surfactants because they are commonly considered...

We have been focusing on two component gel networks. Here, both components can individually form gels. In a mixed system, the LMWG can either co-assemble or self-sort. In a...

Please ignore. This is just for setting up ERAs ready for the Neutron Training Course.

Wax anti-settling additives are used to limit the sedimentation of wax crystals by reducing the crystal size and improving the stability of the wax crystal suspensions. The two...

A3-3 matrix material is the semi-graphitc composite used in high-temperature nuclear reactors to form fuel compounds containing coated particle fuel. In a CO2 cooled reactor,...

Solar cell materials are routinely used in many applications and many studies are ongoing which have three principle objectives. To increase the efficiency, reduce the cost of...

Polar functional groups on polymer chains are of particular interest for applications in adhesion, printing, biocompatibility and mineralisation. We have created a series of...

We are unravelling the solution structures of the Fab and Fc fragments in the IgA antibody family important in mucosal immunology. Having completed the structures for IgA...

Aggregates of the cationic conjugated polyelectrolyte (CPE) HTMA-PFP with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) will be studied in aqueous solutions using SANS. Previous fluorescence,...

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