Effect of electrochemical control function and dopant anion on polyaniline fi...
We propose to determine the structures (polymer and solvent populations and spatial distributions) of polyaniline films deposited by different protocols. These involve different... -
Magnetic hysteresis loops in off-specular scattering
Reflectometry is a technique that is capable of vector magnetometry. By selecting the appropriate valves of Q we could access the different forms of magnetic disorder, either... -
The impact of polyelectrolytes on surfactant adsorption onto cellulose surfaces
Studying surfactant and mixed surfactant adsorption on model solid surfaces, which mimic real surfaces such as fabrics, hair and skin, is starting to provide a real insight into... -
Giant magnetostriction in CoMnSi: a tricritical metamagnet with large changes...
For several years, we have been studying the thermodynamics of the metamagnetic phase transition in CoMnSi and substituted versions. Our motivation has been that the... -
Catalysis in Hydrogen-Bond Rich Porous Organic Materials
Hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) interactions are essential in biological and chemical processes, particularly in reactions catalysed by enzymes and small-molecule catalysts.... -
µSR studies of the superconducting and magnetic properties of FeSe1-xSx
FeSe1-xSx is an important model system for investigating the relationship between superconductivity and nematicity. The nematicity can be suppressed systematically by the... -
Structural development in Whey protein polymer composite solutions for electr...
This is part of an on-going investigation into nano/micro scale sized polymer fibres at the University of Reading, prepared through the process of electrospinning. Currently we... -

Determinations of the Preferred Binding Sites within Extended Porous Frameworks
Constructing new porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is receiving considerable attention worldwide and is a ¿hot topic¿ owing to their potential for gas storage, separation,... -
Interaction of Chiral Amino Acids with Hydrated Vermiculite Clay
The aim of this proposal is to obtain an atomistic understanding of the adsorption of chiral amino acids on mineral surfaces. Our previous experiments on LOQ and at ILL on D16... -
How is the nanoscale structure of Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) impacted by the...
This experiment will determine how the structure and porosity of Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) changes when the ice is contaminated by adsorbate molecules. ASW is a porous... -
The mode of action of a novel disruptive antimicrobial technology on model me...
A Unilever proprietary technology has been shown to inhibit biofilm growth and development, and is also found to possess antimicrobial activity, effective both as a... -
The structure and orientation of the Bam complex in the Gram-negative outer m...
The proteins of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria are critical for bacterialsurvival, from providing basic physiological functions, to aiding virulence and... -
Antibiotic Interactions with models of the Gram negative bacterial outer memb...
Gram-negative bacteria, which cause a variety of diseases including meningitis, plague, sepsis and food poisoning, are becoming increasingly antibiotic resistant. One reason is... -
Observation of the spin dynamics anomaly originating from the Griffiths singu...
The muSR experiments on a diluted Ising antiferromagnet HoxY1-xRu2Si2 are proposed for aiming verification of the Griffiths singularity. In preceding neutron scattering and muSR... -
