We have recently studied the surface segregations of amphiphilic block copolymers blended in a matrix of cross-linked poly(dimethyl siloxane). In this system, while the...

Bacterial LPS (endotoxin) is a key determinant of host/pathogen interactions. We propose to investigate the role of membrane lateral phase separation on LPS insertion into model...

Using conjugated polymers as the active materials in electronic and optoelectronic devices opens up the possibility of fabricating all-polymer devices, such as active matrix...

Recently De Haan et al. described the phase-object approximation for small angle neutron scattering. This method can be extended towards neutron reflectometry. Prelimenary...

A second-generation surface force style apparatus has been developed to probe the inter-surface and near-surface structures under compressive forces. Systems of current academic...

The aim of this experiment is to study the nucleation and molecular layer-by-layer growth of a 'thin film' (TF) phase at the buried substrate interface of thin films of fully...

We intend to perform accurate measurements of the magnetic field profile in the Meissner state of an ¿extreme¿ low-k superconductor (In, k = 0.06, k is the Ginzburg-Landau...

The tunnel magnetoresistive effect (TMR) is critically dependent upon interfacial disorder. Polarised neutron reflectivity will be used to characterise the magnetic roughness at...

We propose to make neutron reflectivity measurements of hydrophillic polymers covalently attached, via thiol chemistry, to the gold-water interface. In particular, we will...

Here we propose to study the Janus character of self-assembled amphiphilic nanoparticles. For that amphiphilic core-shell nanoparticles will be synthesized with a surface...

The aim of the present neutron reflectivity proposal is to obtain stereochemical and kinetic information studying the thermo-lyotropic behaviour of the lipid mixture DOPC-DDAB...
