Nanoporous membranes fabricated by polymerization around soluble templates have found many applications in (bio)sensors, charge storage devices, filtration and catalysis....

The interaction of water with biomolecules is of significant interest. To analyse the spectra, we are employing 2D correlation analysis. This has been used extensively with...

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) are emerging as low-cost and environment-friendly solvents for industrial process. DESs are formed by the association of a hydrogen bond-capable...

We propose a simultaneous neutron reflectometry (NR)/attenuated total reflection (ATR) infra-red spectroscopy experiment on spin-coated thin films of self-assembled fatty acids...

As it was predicted theoretically by Andreev at zero temperature for dilute 3He in 4He mixtures, 3He atoms will form a 2D Fermi liquid at liquid helium surface. Direct...

To aid the design and optimisation of cost-effective decontamination technologies used to remove toxic compounds from ground water in Ghana, the diffusion of water in zeolite...

Storing the energy available from the sun as a fuel that can be used anytime is a major global challenge. Organic materials synthesised from abundant elements that can harness...

We wish to understand the mechanism to which polymer brushes such as PEO resist the adsorption of protein and thus offer biocompatibility for various surface applications....

Silk materials have been the focus of renewed attention because they exhibit extraordinary mechanical strength and toughness.Two main factors are critical for understanding...

Protein–water interactions establish and shape the thermodynamic landscape that governs the folding, structure, stability, mechanics and activity of proteins, and thus...

Ionic liquids (ILs) are low melting point organic salts that until recently were thought to have homogeneous microstructure. In recent SANDALS research,1 we showed pure ILs are...

Considerable effort is currently given to investigate proton conducting electrolyte materials for intermediate temperature range (200-500 °C) fuel cells (ITFCs). This proposal...

Human skeletal remains from archaeological settings are studied by neutron vibrational spectroscopy as an innovative way of analysing these kind of samples, particularly aiming...

Clays are porous materials and planned to be used as barrier material in radioactive waste repositories. In this context understanding of water and solute diffusion on different...

Zaccai et al. proposed to build up a neutron Dynamics Data Bank which would be populated with dynamical data of biological macromolecules measured with different techniques,...

The innovative research field on glass forming systems having bioprotective action has been originated from a growing demand from many biotechnological industrial research...

With this proposal we want to study the (deuterated) hydration shell of facetted iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs). IONP–water interfaces are of great importance for biomedical...

In the present study the acidic, anti-inflammatory drug, ibuprofen has been PEGylated using an polyoxyethylene chain of 750 molecular weight. The consequence of this PEGylation...

The hydroxides Me(OH)2 of the bivalent transition metals Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Cd and Zn play critical roles as sorbents, catalysts or reductants in many environmental and...

The aim of this project is to understand the influence of an applied electric potential on the structure of a porous non-covalent network-based electrode in the presence of an...
