Hydrophilic Melt Additive Segregation in Polyolefins
Small molecule additives are used in melt processing, sometimes to lubricate extrusion or to provide bespoke hydrophilic surfaces. Both applications require the additive to... -
A High-Pressure investigation on 3,4,5-Trinitropyrazole
This proposal will explore the effect of elevated pressure on the 3,4,5-Trinitropyrazole (TNP). TNP releases a large amount of dinitrogen gas as a detonation product which is... -
The mechanism of lipid transport in Gram-negative bacteria
The bacterial cell envelope is one of the best targets for antimicrobial development. It is this envelope that harbours the instruments of microbial warfare, preventing its... -
Interactions between lipoprotein particles from human serum and model blood v...
In westernised societies, atherosclerosis and its clinical consequences such as heart disease and stroke constitute the leading cause of death. Thus, the prevention or... -

FePS3 magnetic and crystal structure under pressure
We have metallised the two-dimensional honeycomb anti-ferromagnet FePS3 at 5.5 GPa. The mechanisms for metallisation, as well as the physical properties of the metallic state,... -
Protein Adsorption at the PDMS Oil/Water Interface
Neutron reflection has been successfully used to measure the conformation of proteins adsorbed at the oil/water interface. However, in several such experiments, hexadecane has... -
Self-assembled Floating Lipid Bilayers: What Forces Are Causing the Bilayer t...
Recently (RB19100102) we have discovered that floating bilayers composed of fluid phase lipids can be produced by deposited vesicles onto charge modified oligo(ethylene... -
Nanoparticle-surfactant layers at the water-oil interface
The spontaneous selfassembly of nanoparticles (NP) at liquid-liquid interfaces is a phenomenon present in nature and relevant for many applications, such as, emulsion... -
The membrane lipid composition regulates the orientation of Tissue Factor ext...
Tissue Factor (TF) is a membrane protein located on the cell surfaces of extravascular cells. TF activity is fundamental for normal homeostasis- the physiological process which... -
Effect of Nucleating Agents on Phase Behavior in thin film bulk heterojunctio...
Neutron reflection will be used to investigate the normal composition profile in thin films of blends of electron-donor poly(alkyl thiophene) and the electron-acceptor... -
Adsorption of Organic Phosphate onto Silicon
This proposal presents to directly measure ¿bridging¿ of anionic surfactants on an anionic surface through multivalent ions from water under well-controlled conditions (pHs and... -
Probing the structure/function relationship of NhaA protein incorporated into...
We propose to perform combined measurements of neutron reflectometry (NR) and impedance spectroscopy (IS) to investigate the structure/function relationship of tethered bilayer... -
What processes dominate porosity and structure evolution in Amorphous Solid W...
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... -
Effect of Cholesterol on NHE1 intracellular domain adsorption on lipid bilayers
The Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) is a transmembrane protein with the primary function of regulating the pH in the cytosol by exchanging one proton with one Na+ ion. The... -
The ground state of a Kondo ion: V dissolved in the noble metal Au.
The 'non-magnetic' ground state of a Kondo ion is generally believed to consist of the localised spin surrounded by a compensating cloud of conduction electrons coupled... -
NR study of surface adsorption of antibodies with and without non-ionic surfa...
Nonionic surfactants usually do not show affinity to proteins and they work via competitive surface and interfacial processes in abinary mixture. However, we show in this work... -
Towards the Calibration of Chemical Pressure
The application of hydrostatic pressure allows the precise tuning of atomic separations, which control electronic structure and virtually all the interatomic interactions that... -
Assembling Biomimetic layers on monolayers of Gold Nanoparticles
Gold provides a high quality surface on which to arrange biomolecules such as proteins since we can use cysteine amino acids to deliver gold thiol chemical bonds which can... -
The mechanism of lipid transport in Gram-negative bacteria
The bacterial cell envelope is one of the best targets for antimicrobial development. It is this envelope that harbours the instruments of microbial warfare, preventing its...
