We ask for 3 days of beam time on CRISP to study the absorption and desorption of hydrogen and deuterium in two Mg/Ti multilayer samples. Our specific objective is to understand...

The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin B (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents. The successful development of...

Nature frequently uses charged, weak-polyelectrolyte brushes at interfaces to control surface function and properties; surface wetting, lubrication, to limit deposition of...

Physical developer (PD) is a latent fingerprint development technique that is highly effective on paper and related surfaces, notably banknotes. The process exploits a redox...

The surface tension of proteins often exhibits a reproducible lagtime, which is sensitiv to a range of conditions such as concentration, pH, ionic strength. We have also found...

The proposing team has recently obtained important neutron scattering results on samples containing molecular hydrogen (sII and sH hydrogen-filled clathrate hydrates), measured...

We grafted 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) polymer brush from the silicon wafer surface through Cu (0) mediated controlled radical polymerization (CuCRP) to mimic...

The hydrogen tungsten bronzes HxWO3 are promising materials because of their potential applications in hydrogen technology. Their potential applications are related to the...

hard carbon are promising anodes for sodium ion batteries, due to their high capacity and green production from biowaste. However, they require treatment at very high...

We request 5 days on NIMROD to characterise the pressure and temperature dependent properties of amorphous icy particles generated in liquid ethane, as they will be used in...

Zeolites are porous framework materials that have active catalytic sites inside narrow channels. Unwanted reactions create coke in the pores which may block access to the active...

This is one of a pair of linked proposals, one for SURF and one for INTER. The voltage response of poly(2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) weak polybase brushes...

Understanding the planetary formation process by the coagulation of interstellart dust grains requires to study the ice-phase dependant collisional properties of icy dust...

This projects aims to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between processing conditions, active layer morphology and device performance in polymer solar...

Porous materials impregnated with metal nanoparticles are extremely useful in catalysis, an industry that had a global turnover in 2010 of over three trillion dollars....

There are great energy costs associated with the separation of the light olefins (ethylene and propylene) from mixed hydrocarbon gas feeds. These olefins (obtained from natural...

This experiment will measure the microstructure of Amorphous Solid Water (ASW), a porous material that can be formed by vapour-depositing water onto a cold plate, an excellent...

Cellulose, known as a fascinating biopolymer and a never ending-source of new sustainable materials, is attracting increasing attention in different fields owing to its...

In a proof-of-concept beamtime award (RB1220486) we studied the process of platinum-catalysed benzene hydrogenation in the pores of MCM-41 using standard neutron diffraction...

In this proposal we wish to study in situ formation of methane hydrates in surfactant solutions. The broad aim of this research is to enable us to understand how we can...
