SANS Study of the interaction of reconstituted model wheat waxes with non-ion...
The understanding of the plant wax-surfactant interaction process is crucial to the development of more effective pesticide and fungicide formulations, essential for improving... -
Structure of lithiated anatase and rutile nanotubes
Bulk and nanoparticulate forms of various phases of titania (anatase, rutile, TiO2-B) act as hosts for Li intercalation but the nanoscale TiO2 can store significantly more Li... -
Simultaneous SANS and modulated SESANS to resolve growth of surfactant-templa...

Neutron reflection study of effects of non-ionic alkyl ethoxylates on model w...
We propose to use NR to study the structural features of the model wheat wax films formulated from the known main components of long chain primary alcohols and an ester. By... -
Structure of chain-grafted silica nanoparticles
The aim of the proposed experiment is to carry out a series of SANS measurements on chain-grafted silica nanoparticles prepared in our laboratory. In this experiment we plan to... -
Understanding the microstructure of polymer blends used as control release co...
Solid oral dosage forms consist of polymer layer encapsulated drug-bound particles with a desired drug release profile e.g. pulsatile, controlled, delayed and targeted,... -
Free volume calibration of Polystyrene (PS) bulk above and below its glass tr...
Free volume theory has successfully predicted and described all of the liquid-to-solid transitions in hard sphere system. However, in polymer system, the exact molecular picture... -
Oriented antibody binding layers
The proposal concerns the assembly of high density antibody binding surfaces to increase the sensitivity of medical diagnostics. Previously we showed that antibody binding... -
Local structure in Ti2AlX (X = Ta, Mo, Nb, Cr or Fe) B2 ordered intermetallic...
Research focused on improving the efficiency of gas turbines is of great importance for energy generation and transportation. A much desired way of achieving this is the... -
Structural investigation of biodegradable Mg-based bulk metallic glass
Mg-Zn-Ca glasses show considerable promise for use as medical implants. Magnesium, zinc and calcium are all elements found within the human body, and the biocompatibility of... -
Study of Quantum Anomalous Hall Effect Materials
We aim at studying materials that exhibit the Quantum Anomalous Hall Effect (QAHE) and understand the underlying mechanisms that provide the fine balance of ferromagnetic doping... -

Investigation of cement pore structure evolution in underground repository co...
It is proposed that radioactive waste generated in the Netherlands be buried underground in Boom clay formations. As this will need to be stored for hundreds of thousands of... -
NR study of binding of short antimicrobial alpha-helix peptides with model li...
In this work we explore how our rationally designed peptide amphiphiles bind onto lipid monolayers using neutron reflection combined with deuterium labelling to the lipids,... -
In Situ Measurement of the Spin Seebeck Effect
The spin Seebeck effect (SSE) is a newly discovered phenomenon that if harnessed, could result in a significant improvement of the efficiency of thermoelectric generators. The... -
Refining compositions for bio-active phosphate glasses
We wish to investigate the structural changes which arise when B2O3 is added to a bioactive phosphate glass. We are particularly interested to study the phosphate environment... -
The structure of polar aprotic solvents in cylindrical nanopores
The aim of this experiment is to understand the structure of two widely used polar organic solvents, N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) and N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), in cylindrical... -
CuH: a (nearly) 200 year old problem SANDALS
Copper (I) hydride, CuH, is unique amongst the binary metal hydrides in that it can be synthesised, at room temperature, in aqueous solution. In recent years CuH generated in... -
Structure determination of solution aggregation of single alkyl chain PC surf...
We have synthesised alkyl phosphorylcholine (CnPC) surfactants in hydrogenated and deuterated form and have determined their solution aggregation using SANS. In this part of... -
Solution aggregation of short peptide surfactants
Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly to lead to interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation....
