Dynamics studies of water and ice in carbon nanohorns
Recent diffraction [GEM] and DINS [Vesuvio] studies of water in carbon nanohorns have suggested that there is substantial proton delocalisation along the H-bond between... -
Dynamical Characterisation Of Conjugated Polymer Nanocomposites Used for Plas...
Research on organic photo-voltaics (PVs) has increased dramatically in the last few years, owing to the promise of low manufacturing costs, high production throughput and large... -
Catalytic Hydrodeoxygenation of a Lignin Model Compound - TOSCA
Bio-oil can be obtained from the pyrolysis of biomass and maintains a closed carbon cycle with no net increase in atmospheric CO2 level, making the environment cleaner. However,... -
QENS studies of nanostructured hydrides
The search for a light, high-capacity hydrogen store continues. Ammonia borane (AB) is a complex hydride with excellent hydrogen capacity, of which half desorbs at moderate... -
Relaxational and diffusive properties of oligomeric and fibrillar forms of al...
Neurodegenerative diseases are commonly associated with the accumulation of intracellular or extracellular protein aggregates and are characterized by the misfolding of a... -
Interlayer Dynamics in Graphite Intercalation Compounds
Alkali metals are well-known to form regularly-layered graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) which exhibit a number of novel and practically important structural and... -
Dental Cements and Inelastic Neutron Scattering: Meeting the Challenges of To...
In typical odontological studies water sorption in the restoration material is determined by weighing freshly mixed cement at regular intervals. In the case of resin-modified... -
Correlation between Internal Dynamics and Microstructure in Ionic Micelles
Despite the extensive characterization of the structure and macroscopic behavior of micelles, the fast local dynamics of surfactants in micelles and their correlation with... -
Dynamics of proteins undergoing cold denaturation
Pressure as a variable in biophysics/biochemistry allow the structure/function and dynamics/function relationships to be analysed in detail in various biomolecular assemblies.... -
Understanding an-harmonic behaviour in lyophilised proteins - a high energy r...
By combining OSIRIS/IN16 elastic window and QENS data we better understand dynamics in lyophilised apoferritin. This complimentary approach reveals that the observed decrease in... -
Spin dynamics on the frustrated Fe7 molecular cluster
Fe7 is a magnetic cluster formed by two Fe(III) triangles bridged together by a Fe(III) ion. The antiferromagnetic exchange interaction within the two triangles makes the system... -
Distribution of End-Functionalized Polymers in Semi-Crystalline Blends
Although the surface properties and self-organisation of end-functional polymers in amorphous blends are well understood, the influence of crystallinity has received little... -
Studying the dynamics of PVC/multi-walled carbon nanotubes nanocomposites
This proposal intends to study the effects of MWNTs and alkilated-MWNTs (A-MWNTs) on the dinamycs of PVC/MWNTs nanocomposites. The presence of MWNTs dispersed in the PVC matrix... -
The Dynamics of Molecular Hydrogen in Synthetic Na-Laponite
In this proposal we aim to study the low temperature uptake and dynamics of hydrogen in the interlayer region of partially hydrated pillared Na-laponite clay. There are linked... -
INS on methane dynamics absorption in dipeptides
The dipeptides are a class of organic molecules that form hexagonal crystalline structures (space group P61) with one-dimensional chiral channels of tunable pore diameters in... -
Human and Social Dynamics (HSD) Research Seminars 2016-2017
Description: The seminars focused on HSRC projects that were underway in 2016-2017 and related work being done elsewhere at the time of the seminar. The seminars addressed...
