Effects of Architecture on Polymer Diffusion
As part of a wider study we are studying the effects of polymer architecture between cyclic and linear polymers. From ATR-FTIR measurements we observe clear differences between... -
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... -
Insights into the structure of mechanochemically-synthesised ternary lithium ...
In the current work, we study inorganic solid-state electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries. These materials, unlike the traditional liquid electrolytes, could lead to a... -
Magnetic structure determinenation in the antiferroelectric - antiferromagnet...
This proposal seeks to explore a multiferroic material new to science, that of the antiferroelectric ¿ antiferromagnetic ceramic Bi0.8Nd0.2FeO3. This new class of material is of... -
Modulating Tetronics self-assembly with cyclodextrins for drug delivery appli...
Amphiphilic linear surfactants based on PEO and PPO triblock copolymers, known as Pluronics, exhibit a rich polymorphism and have been extensively studied for their applications... -
Multiscale time resolving study of the crystallisation of nanofibrils of a mo...
This experiment exploits the unique capability of Nimrod to study the crystallisation of nanofibrils of a molecular gelator dibenzylidene sorbitol from alkane solutions on... -
Towards intermediate temperature diffusion: oxygen dynamics in Ce(Nb,V)O4+d
CeNbO4+d (0 <= d <= 0.33) displays mixed ionic-electronic conductivity at ~800 °C, where it adopts the tetragonal scheelite structure. Prior research has shown that... -
QENS analysis of industrially relevant small pore zeolites
NOx emissions from the energy and transport sectors represent a major hazard to human health and this has been the focus of significant industrial and academic research. One of... -
Formation and ammonia decomposition behaviour of lithium nitride hydride
Ammonia is seen as a key part of the transition to a sustainable energy economy, but needs decomposition catalysts to release its stored hydrogen. Lithium nitride-hydride... -

In-situ reaction of lithium amide or imide with manganese(IV) oxide
We request 3 days beam time on POLARIS for in-situ powder diffraction studies of the reactions of lithium amide or lithium imide with manganese(IV) oxide under flowing argon or... -
Phonon-Liquid-Electron Crystal Behaviour in Cu8GeSe6
Thermoelectric devices enable the conversion of thermal energy into electrical power. The development of new materials is essential to enable large scale implementation of... -
Ion Binding in Tetradecyltrimethylammonium Surfactant Micelle Solutions
This proposal continues our studies of surfactant micelles using NIMROD, to obtain previously inaccessible details of headgroup-ion interactions. In our previous experiments... -
Hydrothermal synthesis and calcination of hydrotalcites
Hydrotalcites are anionic clays which have a variety of applications, including use as environmentally friendly catalysts and catalyst precursors. In this experiment we propose... -
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...
