Investigations of atomic and intermediate-range structure in model membranes
This proposals aims to investigate the atomic and intermediate range structure in model membrane environments. By beginning with a disperse system of a phosphocholine lipid in... -
Study of the reorganization of DES upon dilution with Benzylalcohol
Nanoporous carbons are of great importance for development of energy storage and gas adsorption devices. The critical parameter is pore size and it is difficult to predict. Our... -
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... -
Structure of myoglobin-sugar-water systems
This proposal is a continuation of our previous experiment on NIMROD (Rb 1520094), where we studied aqueous solutions of trehalose (33 wt% trehalose) as well as myoglobin in the... -
Liquid Nanostructure and Amphiphile Self-Assembly in pre-Ouzo Ternary Mixtures
Ionic liquids (ILs) - salts that melt near room temperature - have remarkable properties as solvents for a wide variety of molecules and ions. ILs share with water the rare... -
