Local structure and clustering in acetic acid/pyridine mixtures
The aim of this proposed work is to complete our study of the behaviour of acetic acid/pyridine mixtures as a functionof composition, in order to fully characterise the changes... -
Hydration of NMA
We propose to study the hydration of N-methylacetamide (NMA) at ambient conditions and at two concentrations, namely 1 NMA : 50 H2O and 1 NMA : 15 H2O, by applying the isotopic... -
A Total Scattering Investigation of the Intermolecular Interactions in Low Aq...
Low bioavailability is a major problem in drug formulation development; low aqueous solubility of an active pharmaceutical ingredient can stall development of a potentially... -
Understanding the nature of perfume / surfactant interactions at interfaces
This proposal is part of a funded (CASE) project, aimed at understanding the delivery of benefit actives (perfumes) to interfaces and the development of new self-assembled... -
Surface properties of biogenic polyamine-surfactant mixtures
Polyions and biogenic polyamine are ubiquitous in many important biochemical functions. We propose here to use neutron reflectivity to investigate their potential to induce and... -
Is H-bonding the source of large heats of fusion in guanidinium based thermal...
The organic salt guanidinium mesylate [Gdm][CH3SO3] is a promising phase change material for thermal energy storage applications. It has melting point Tm = 208 °C, and... -
Speciation and complex-ion formation in protic ionic liquids
A broad fundamental understanding of the design and properties of ionic liquids underpins their developing and future applications, which include accessing cellulosic polymers... -
Study of Small molecule effects on AB interactions with model lipid layer by ...
Neutron reflectometery will be used to provide the vital information about the interaction/conformation of the organophosphonate compound on the lipid structure in the... -
Association and liquid structure of zwitterionic salts-water mixtures
Anti-fouling surfaces are a critical requirement for a wide range of biomedical applications, such as medical implants and biosensors. Poly(ethylene glycol) is widely used... -
The role of water in homogeneous catalytic processes mediated by water solubl...
A large number of chemicals are currently obtained by catalytic synthetic processes, but usually in most of these processes the catalyst remains in the reaction medium during... -
Molecular interactions in amorphous paracetamol
The appearance of multiple crystal forms is one of the bottlenecks in pharmaceutical formulation. To date the result of a crystallisation experiment cannot be predicted and we... -
Research of the microstructure of three component mixture with anomalous beha...
Solvents are integral part of the world and so many charge transfer processes take place in a solutions. Unfortunately, not much is known about the microstructure of solvents... -
Understanding the molecular origin of co-non-solvency. Step 2.
A number of polymers that are commonly soluble in water and in alcohol, display a dramatic collapse when 10 molar % of alcohol is added to the polymer/water system. Various... -
Ionic Liquid ¿ Water Interactions
This project aims to examine the structure of microemulsions formed by water and 1-methyl-3-ethylimidazolium-based ionic liquids with the acetate or octanoate anion. These... -
Determination of the bondlength of the surface hydride in PdH
Supported palladium particles are used as catalysts in many processes. In the course of investigation of Pd-based catalysts used for the selective hydrogenation of nitro-arenes... -
Comparing peptide folding states in non-aqueous and aqueous solutions
How proteins fold from their linear sequence into their functional structures is still not understood and the misfolding of proteins is linked to a variety of diseases - such as... -
Kinetics of surfactant multilayer formation / dissolution at interfaces
The formation of multilayer structures at surfaces and interfaces from self-assembly in mixed surfactant and in polymer / surfactant mixtures has been recently reported, and... -

Solution aggregation of short peptide surfactants
Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly to lead to interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation.... -
Interaction of a small protein with water and other solutes: The case of Glut...
The tripeptide glutathione (GSH) is present in cells at millimolar concentrations, and the ratio of GSH to glutathione disulfide (GSSG) is critical to cellular redox balance....
