Co-solvency and Co-nonsolvency are two extreme phenomena in the field of polymer solution. The former is the phenomenon that a mixture of two nonsolvent forms a good solvent for...

Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are a class of solar cells that harvest photogenerated excitations ('excitons') and split them into free charges to generate electrical power. A...

We would like to use SANS to explore the mechanism for preparation and properties of cylindrical micelles. We hope to obtain key information relating to the growth mechanism...

Solid-state Organic Solar cells (OSCs) have the potential to be the basis of a renewable energy source that is inexpensive and portable. Current state-of-the-art...

The aim is to measure any tendency towards phase separation in a nematic mixture to complement an adsorption study on the same mixture. The base is 4-pentyl 4¿- cyanobiphenyl...

We request two days’ beam time on SANS2D for the study of radiation-grafted anion-exchange membranes, both dry and hydrated under different ratios of D2O/H2O. These materials...

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...

We propose to study an effect of uniaxial pressure on a magnetic structure of triangular antiferromagnet PdCrO2. The experiment will mark a technical milestone in development of...

Surfactant self-assembly has been extensively studied in aqueous solution at room temperature or above, but it was less documented at temperatures below 0 °C. Our preliminary...

Ferromagnetic shape memory alloys can undergo reversible strain changes in external magnetic fields. Here we want to characterize NiMnGa alloys, which present brittle behavior...

Molten chocolate is a semi-solid suspension of (mostly) sugar, but also cocoa and milk solids in oil. In order to allow the sugar grains to flow past each other, either when the...

The proposal aims to explore different self-assembly structures in CO2 with the focus of developing viscosity modifiers for supercritical CO2 (sc-CO2). This is part of a...

The self-assembly of (cyclic peptide)-polymer conjugates provide a versatile and functional platform for the precise design of polymeric supramolecular nanotubes. Moving the...

The consumer demands for functional food have increased the interest for encapsulation of bioactive compounds in the food industry. Encapsulation is crucial, since these...

This proposal is part of a major EPSRC (EP/GR065705)/Unilever funded programme to develop and control the spontaneous formation of surfactant multilayer structures at...

Cyclic peptide-polymer conjugates can readily self-assembly into long nanotubes, and are being extensively studied for biomedical applications. Recently, we have conjugated a...

Coacervates have been studied for a long time for their unusual properties: they are dense networks of charged polymers that are soluble in water. Instead of flocculating when...

N-acyl amino acids are surfactants with attractive applications in different technological fields. They are referred to as mild surfactants because they are commonly considered...

Please ignore. This is just for setting up ERAs ready for the Neutron Training Course.

Addition of multivalent salts to water soluble polyelectrolytes, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC), induces conformational change to the polyelectrolyte structure,...
