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...

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...

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...

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...

Hydrophobins, hfb2, are secreted fungal proteins, which are strongly surface active and possess powerful emulsion and foam stabilising properties. Understanding their...

There is exciting potential for SANS to resolve an important problem in homogeneous catalyst chemistry. The Pd-chiral catalyst 1+ below has significant pan-industrial potential...

The aim is to understand how the addition of a common hydrogenated/ deuterated oil affects the size of the self-assembled structure of three common industrial fluorocarbon (FC)...

The results from this experiment will develop alternatives to controlling surface tension through the design of 21st century surfactants (better performance at lower...

Small-angle neutron scattering will investigate in phase diagrams from binary mixtures of different chain lengths of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium...

This proposal is about the development of sustainable detergency based formulations, based on the blending of biosurfactants and conventional surfactants, and is part of a CASE...

The nature of the ground state of the spin-1/2 kagome lattice antiferromagnet remains an important question. Cu(1,3-bdc) is a hybrid organometallic compound featuring S=1/2 Cu2+...

The aggregation of the Amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide is implicated in the progression of Alzheimer's disease, the treatment of which is a major current global healthcare...

Lithium ion batteries are the power source of choice for portable electrical devices owing to performance in terms of high specific capacity and reliability. Liquid electrolyte...

The process of cell division requires precise duplication of the genetic material. The separation of the two strands of DNA and the progression of the replisome are driven by...

This proposal continues our investigations into film-forming polyelectrolyte-surfactant solutions. We have found that mixed micelle systems offer greater control over micelle...

We wish to construct a spectrometer on the Larmor instrument capable of resolving very small energy transfers between the neutron and the sample. To achieve this we will use a...

Time-resolved SANS will be performed to investigate the effect of shear on the fibrillisation of insulin following denaturation. The rheological response will be measured...

Through a combination of small angle neutron scattering, ion-beam analysis and ellipsometry we have recently demonstrated that in organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) the...

Increasing the density of hydrogen storage under ambient conditions is a critical requirement for the widespread introduction of low-carbon hydrogen vehicles. Ammonia borane...

This SANS experiment was proposed by 4 PhD students from 3 different institutions in a Marie-Curie Training Network. They are all in the second year of their PhD and their...
