Phase Separation in Organic Photovoltaic Cells
Organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells have the potential to be the basis of a renewable energy source that is inexpensive and portable. Current state-of-the-art solution-processed... -
Structural characterization of a series of polymer-protein conjugates for chr...
Polymer-protein conjugates have been designed to deliver an appropriate target growth factor to promote a more rapid healing of chronic wounds, an incredibly important area for... -
Generation of 3D-networks by mixing inexpensive HC-polymers, amphiphiles, and...
For the last two decades, many polymers have been tested to increase CO2 viscosity for enhanced oil recovery using CO2 (CO2-EOR). Unfortunately, conventional HC-polymers were... -
Salt effects on gelation of oxidised cellulose nanofibrils with nonionic surf...
Our group has been studying partially oxidised anionic cellulose (AC) nanofibrils which form gels in the presence of moderate salt concentrations and with anionic surfactants.... -
Metallomicroemulsions - a new class of supramolecularly organised metal ions
Incorporation of d- or f-block metals into ligand systems that renders a metal complex surface active or drives its partitioning into surfactant phases enables the localisation... -
Structure of aggregation of peptide surfactants: effect of the size of amino ...
Peptide surfactants are a group of interesting biomimetic amphiphiles capable of forming a range of nanostructures. The aim of this work is to use SANS to determine the... -
Co-micellization of hydrotropes and surfactants
This proposal builds on recent work with hydrotropes alone (Langmuir, 2011, 27, 12346-12353); now co-micellisation of hydrotropes with surfactants will be investigated. The aim... -
The structure of the Bam complex, the Gram-negative outer membrane protein fo...
The proteins of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria are critical for bacterial survival, from providing basic physiological functions, to impairing virulence and... -
Surfactant induced gelation of TEMPO-oxidized cellulose; Using betaine-based ...
Our group has been working cellulose nanofibrils (OCNF) which form hydrogels in the presence of certain additives. Previously, we have studied the effect of salt, single... -
Effect of steroid structure on solubilisation in a series of C12 surfactant m...
The current project aims to probe (at the nanometer length scale) the relationship between the structure of a surfactant molecule, the micelles it forms in solution, and the... -
Mechanism of Wax Anti-Settling Additives and their role within Wax Crystallis...
Wax anti-settling additives are used to limit the sedimentation of wax crystals by reducing the crystal size and improving the stability of the wax crystal suspensions. The two... -
Change in conformation of a chiral poly(2-oxazoline) induced by temperature o...
The aim of this experiment is to investigate the change in conformation of a chiral polymer dissolved in hexafluoroisopropanol as the temperature of the system is varied.... -
Phase Behaviour of Colloidal Mixtures Under Shear
There are specific models about the influence of shear on mixtures that are distinctive from dspersions of unifom particles. Understanding the flow behaviour of mixtures of... -
Micellization in glycerol:choline chloride deep eutectic solvent
Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are molecular mixtures with melting points below room temperature. DES share many features of ionic liquids (low vapour pressure, adjustable... -
Thin Water Layers
The aim of this proposal is to determine the thickness of a water layer surrounding colloidal particles dispersed in oil with changes in ionic strength. Recent work by our group... -
Film formation in macroRAFT latices studied by SANS
Latex is made from tiny polymer particles in water. Latex films are used in paints and to manufacture adhesives & inks. Latex is good for the environment, as it does not... -
SANS Investigation on Packing Structure of Proteasome Activator 28
Proteasome plays an important role in the processing of antigenenic proteins for presentation by the MHC class I pathway. PA28 is an activator of the 20S proteasome, a large... -

SANS studies on the structures of non-ionic surfactant micelles with/without ...
SANS is about the only technique that can determine the size and shape of surfactant micelles and the subsequent changes upon pesticide solubilisation. The aim of this work is... -
Binary colloidal mixtures - SANS contrast variation to study high concentrati...
Mixtures of colloidal particles of essentially two different sizes are commonly used in technological applications such as film formation on surfaces, paper coatings, etc....
