Structure-performance relationships of chemical demulsifiers
The project is to understand fundamental structure-performance relationships of chemical demulsifiers in water-in-crude oil (w/o) systems. In particular, to understand how... -
Structural characterisation of a transmembrane biological electron conduit us...
Many bacteria are able to respire using solid minerals and metals as electron acceptors in the absence of oxygen or other diffusible substrates. In Shewanella oneidensis this... -
Contrast variation SANS to understand drug directed assembly of multi lamella...
Recurring infection following dental interventions such as fillings is the most common reason for failure, leading to further treatments including root canal therapy, where the... -
Compatibilisation of polymer blends using electrospinning
This proposal seachs time to establish the conditions under which electrospinning can be used to provide (non-equilibrium) mixtures of immiscible polymers. Such an outcome might... -
Pinning down pinholin: a structural mechanism to explain how peptide adsorpti...
We will use specular and off-specular neutron reflectivity to provide a structural mechanism for the way in which the amphipathic peptide pinholin controls bacterial cell lysis... -
Short peptide self-assembly and pesticide solubilisation in binary surfactant...

The Power of Neutron Reflectivity for Batteries
Catastrophic failures of lithium batteries is a major safety concern, however our understanding and control over the mechanisms of these failures is still lacking. Lithium is... -
The formation of water-in-supercritical carbon dioxide microemulsions using q...
For twenty years scientists have been searching for surfactants able to solubilise water nano-domains in supercritical carbon dioxide, scCO2 (as water-in-scCO2 microemulsions,... -
Testing the "film bending energy model" in low contrast microemulsions
This proposal is the first part of a fundamental study aiming to improve understanding about technically challenging water-in-CO2 (w/c) microemulsions, by firstly investigating... -
Antimicrobial peptide-loaded nanogels and their interaction with lipid bilayers
Due to increasing antibiotic resistance, bacteria membrane disrupting antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are of increasing interest as alternatives to classical antibiotics. AMPs are... -
HC-polymer 3D-network conjugated by hydrocarbon-fluorocarbon core/shell aggre...
For the last two decades, many polymers have been tested to increase CO2 viscosity for enhanced oil recovery. Unfortunately, HC-polymers were found to be inactive for the... -
SANS study of synthesis of interpenetrating polymer networks in supercritical...
We use SANS to study synthesis of interpenetrating polymer network in supercritical CO2 in situ at sans2D. The initial system contains an inorganic polymer network, hydrophilic... -
SANS study of lipid-based nanocarriers as inhaled drug delivery systems for a...
The present project aims to achieve a more detailed structural characterization by SANS of Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLN) and liposomes in a perspective of an inhaled anti... -
Interactions of polyfluorinated substances with a phospholipid bilayer
Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have been used in various industrial applications and consumer products, but have received increasing global concern due to their... -
Using neutron reflectivity to understand the structural basis for the rheolog...

Controlling the morphology of bulk heterojunction (BHJ) films using mixtures ...
Through a combination of small angle neutron scattering, ion-beam analysis and ellipsometry we have recently demonstrated that in organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) the... -
Non-equilibrium kinetics in highly interacting polymer mixtures
We seek to investigate the non-equilibrium phenomena of a model polymer mixture by time-solved SANS and temperature jump experiments within (a) one-phase region and (b) one to... -
Gelation of oxidised cellulose nanofibrils with industrially relevant anionic...
This proposal aims to investigate the interaction of oxidised cellulose nanofibrils (OCNF) and anionic surfactants, such as sodium laureth sulphate (SLES) and sodium lauroyl... -
GISANS directed to study lipid bilayer structures on nanowire arrays
Nanowires are increasingly being used in life science to interact with living cells, for example as nanometer probes. The interaction between the cell membrane, i.e. a lipid... -
SANS study of the effect of thermal annealing on the morphology of bulk heter...
This projects aims to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between processing conditions, active layer morphology and device performance in polymer solar...
