Acid /amine complexation on an iron oxide /Oil interface
This experiment seeks to characterise the monolayer composition and structure of binary mixtures of fatty acid and amine. This represents a key additive system used commercially... -
Temperature-Dependent Structural Changes in Liquid Benzene
The non-covalent interactions between aromatic rings are of fundamental importance in large number biological and chemical processes. The local structure of aromatic liquids is... -
Polymer-Lipid Nanodisc Self-assembly Processes Using Stop Flow
Polymer stabilized lipid nanodiscs offer enormous potential as tools for enabling membrane protein structural studies & biophysics. Polymer stabilized lipid bilayer discs... -
In-situ reaction of lithium amide or imide with manganese(IV) oxide
We request 3 days beam time on POLARIS for in-situ powder diffraction studies of the reactions of lithium amide or lithium imide with manganese(IV) oxide under flowing argon or... -
A total scattering study of the concentration and temperature dependence of s...
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are ubiquitous in our portable electronics, however they are ill suited for applications where cost or sustainability are of paramount importance,... -
Tuneable Adsorption of Soft Colloids on Model Biomembrane
Understanding how nanoparticles interact with lipid bilayers will potentially have high impact on the development of new drug delivery systems, and on the investigation of their... -
Structural characterisation of a pyrochlore solid solution in the Na2O●...
3 days on POLARIS are requested to study three pyrochlore compositions in the Na2O●Bi2O3●TiO2 system that has been reported only once in the literature, without any... -
Interaction of sugars and a model peptide
We propose to perform a NDIS experiments at the SANDALS diffractometer at T = 300 K on 7 aqueous solutions of NMA and trehalose and NMA and glucose, aimed at investigating the... -
Structural investigation of the high temperature phases in ammonium iodate
We will investigate the structures of the high temperature (RT to 400K) phases of ammonium iodate, and the features that accompany these phase transitions. From our previous...
