This proposal aims to understand how the structure of non-ionic surfactant micelles affects the amount of fungicides solubilised. SANS is a technique unique for unravelling the...

A recent LOQ experiment revealed that co-monomers are homogenously distributed within regions of colloidal poly(NIPAM) microgel particles. This proposal has two aims: (1) refine...

Exposure to ozone gas can cause inflammation of the airways and breathing difficulties. The initial reaction of ozone is thought to be predominantly with lipids present in the...

We will perform neutron scattering experiments (SANS) to probe the mechanism of alignment of amyloid peptides on drying in the presence of a 2T magnetic field, as well as the...

High shear in paints and emulsion is common during both processing and application. Spray coating, films rolling and mixing all contaain high shear states. We are interested in...

Low temperature embrittlement of stainless steels is due to phase separation and in this proposal we will further investigate the underlying mechanisms for phase separation....

As part of a wider study we are studying the effects of polymer architecture between cyclic and linear polymers. From ATR-FTIR measurements we observe clear differences between...

The sun is an abundant and cheap source of energy, harnessing it as storable fuel has the potential for a large societal impact. Organic photoelectrodes (PEs) formed from low...

This projects aims to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between processing conditions, active layer morphology and device performance in polymer solar...

Increased environmental pressures and awareness is promoting a major drive towards an increased use of biosurfactants to produce more biosustainable and biodegradable consumer...
