This proposal continues our research on mesostructured surfactant templated polymer films. The films are robust and form spontaneously at the air-water interface. Recent...

Topotactic reduction of YMnO3 with CaH2 yields three new reduced phases. Two of these phases appear to have compositions close to YMnO2.5 but with very different anion vacancy...

The selective oxidation of saturated C-H bonds is a crucial step in many industrial processes. Recent we have discovered an alternative green one-step route for the selective...

Recently there has been a vast expansion in understanding about the interactions between oppositely charged polyelectrolyte/surfactant mixtures. The use of neutron reflectometry...

These experiments are part of a much broader programme at the University of Reading. focused on the use of water-soluble half-acetylated chitosan as a mucoadhesive polymer,...

In recent incoherent inelastic neutron scattering experiments we have shown that the anharmonic single-particle dynamics of H2 can be measured with high precision in quantum...

The aim of the current project is to probe (at the nanometer length scale) the relationship between the solution structures of a surfactant molecule, the aggregate(s) it forms...

We have prepared a new family of rare-earth carbonates, R4(CO3)6(H2O)2en (R=Dy-Lu). With the exception of R=Er, all materials exhibit a steadily decreasing meff below 70K. The...

ND on powder from the FTU tokamak - sample 1

The aim of the study is to use SANS in combination with contrast variation to determine the effect of solubilising the lipophilic drug, testosterone propionate, in micelles...

In recent years nano- and microparticles composed of polymeric or lipid material have been proposed as drug carriers. Their use allows the modification of the biopharmaceutic...

Grazing incidence small angle neutron scattering (GISANS) will be used to investigate the lateral phase behavior in thin films of blends of electron-donor...

This proposal continues our research on mesostructured surfactant templated polymer films that form spontaneously at the air-water interface. Our recent research has shown it is...
