Dimethacrylate resins are currently used for dental fillings. The polymers are set by free radical polymerisation. At present light curing protocols require 40s exposure at...

Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are a class of solar cells that harvest photogenerated excitations ('excitons') and split them into free charges to generate electrical power. A...

We would like to use SANS to explore the mechanism for preparation and properties of cylindrical micelles. We hope to obtain key information relating to the growth mechanism...

Understanding the nature of protein translocating events through bacterial pores offers an uniqueopportunity to develop novel drug delivery systems, whilst also providing...

The aim is to probe micellar structures of three common industrial fluorotelomer surfactants used in fire-fighting foam formulations (Figure 1) using contrast variation SANS....

Low molecular weight gels are formed by the self-assembly of small molecules into fibres that entangle to form a matrix. Hydrogels are an important class, as these are typically...

Whilst the biological effect of lipoteichoic-acid (LTA) contributing to bacterial infections is widely reported in microbiological and immunological studies, very little is...

Results from this experiment will help develop to design 21st century surfactants (better performance with lower environmental consequences) by gaining essential information on...

Polymer-protein conjugates have been designed to deliver an appropriate target growth factor to promote a more rapid healing of chronic wounds, an incredibly important area for...

Peptide-functionalized nanoparticle (NP) aggregates have significant potential as biosensors (for specific enzymes) due to their high sensitivity, modular design and simple...

Polymer therapeutic describes polymeric drugs, polymer-drug conjugates, polymer-protein conjugates, polymeric micelles to which drug is covalently bound, and multicomponent...

The aim of the experiment is investigate some nucleid acids to provide us with information about the size and shape when is dispersed in a solvent, so in a future studies to be...

Recent SANS studies of an unusual headgroup-free surfactant (Nohead FC6-HC4) produced data that implied the formation of W/CO2 microemulsions (MEs) at a particular pressure (P)...

Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is commonly used as a viscosity modifier in many chemical systems, from paints to cement. HEC forms a physical gel in water due to the presence of...

Acquired multidrug resistance (MDR) in pathogenic microbials is a world-wide threat to human health. Several MarR–like proteins regulate the expression of efflux pumps, which...

The aim is to measure any tendency towards phase separation in a nematic mixture to complement an adsorption study on the same mixture. The base is 4-pentyl 4¿- cyanobiphenyl...

The aim of the project is to use Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) to determine the particle sizes and the internal shell dimensions of the nanogels as a function of the...

Low molecular weight gels are the result of the self-assembly of small molecules into fibres. These entangle to entrap the solvent. When the solvent is water, these are called...

We request two days’ beam time on SANS2D for the study of radiation-grafted anion-exchange membranes, both dry and hydrated under different ratios of D2O/H2O. These materials...

IgG antibody represents one-third of new drugs currently in development. We will unravel the solution structures of the Fab and Fc fragments within IgG. Following our earlier...
