Modes of protein adsorption at polyethylene oxide brushes of various polymer ...
We wish to understand the mechanism to which polymer brushes such as PEO resist the adsorption of protein and thus offer biocompatibility for various surface applications.... -
Phase separation of poly(ethylene glycol) and of poly(propylene glycol) in mi...
Phase behaviour studies have identified hydrogen bonding as a key aspect in polymer solubility in fluorinated liquids, both in terms of solute-solvent and solute-solute... -
Adsorption of modified PEI / SDS mixtures at the solid-solution interface
Polymer-surfactant mixtures are extensively used in a wide range of domestic, industrial and technological applications. This proposal is part of a collaboration between Oxford... -
Magnetoelectric coupling in the multiferroic ceramic BiFeO3 - PbTiO3
The polycrystalline ceramic BiFeO3 - PbTiO3 is both ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic for a wide range of compositional space. We have shown in previous experiments that (1)... -
Neutron reflectivity study of phase separation in polymer-drug thin films
Nearly 40% of new chemical entries are poorly water-soluble. Drug encapsulation into water-soluble polymers is an active research area owing to the ability of improving drug... -
Sustainable polymeric deposition aids
This is a new programme of work and a collaboration between CCLRC, Oxford, Unilever and Manchester. It is concerned with polymer aided deposition to solid substrates, using... -

We will use SANS to characterize dispersions of gold nanoparticles functionalized with poly(dimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate) brushes grafted from 25 nm gold nanoparticle... -
Interactions between a polymer brush grown from a macro-initiator-modified sa...
We propose to make neutron reflectivity measurements of the weak polyelectrolyte, poly(dimethy amino ethyl methacrylate), grown from two different surface densities of initiator... -
Investigating dental resin polymer structures of as a function of light-curin...
Dimethacrylate resins are currently used for dental fillings. The polymers are set by free radical polymerisation. At present light curing protocols require 40s exposure at... -

SANS study of self assembled structures formed from salicylate surfactant in ...
We wish to determine a structure we have observed in a dodecane/surfactant/water system. Initial experimentation has suggested the possibility of spontaneous formation of a... -
Structure in electrospun fibres prepared using polymer blends
This proposal is part of a major research programme at Reading which is focused on nano-fibres prepared by electrospinning. The programme is centered on the spinning... -
Interfacial structure in self-assembling conjugated polymer photovoltaic devices
The proposal aims to determine the degree of interfacial mixing and roughness at an interface between two conjugated polymers, as part of a broder program to understand how to... -
Atomic and Ionic Mobility in Glass Ionomer Cements (GICs)
A proposal is made to measure atom/ion mobility/diffusion in GIC samples. Vesuvio is ideal to explore diffusion of ions bound by ~0.5-5eV bond energies and covalently bound... -
Insoluble layer formation in polymer bilayers
In a previous neutron reflectivity(NR) measurement (RB620370) on CRISP, we showed that the insoluble interlayer formed between the charge injection layer and a semiconducting...
