Hydrophobicity ¿ The Key to Polymer-Drug Conjugate Conformation
The use of polymer-drug conjugates for the delivery of drugs to specific sites of disease within the body has shown much clinical promise. It has become clear that the... -
Encapsulation of monomers in cationic surfactant-polymer solutions
We have been studying the solution interactions leading to formation of solid polymer-surfactant films at the air-solution interface. We wish to use the mesostructures in the... -
Simultaneous SANS and modulated SESANS for studies of surfactant templating o...
In the previous round we trialled use of the new techniques enabled on Larmor which permit simultaneous measurements of nanoscale and macroscale structure. These experiments... -
Atomic structure of mercury chalcohalide glasses
Optical applications of chalcogenide glasses need a wide transparency window in far IR. Promising glass systems include HgI2. We have synthesised three vitreous systems... -
Understanding Melt Phase Aggregation in Semicrystalline Polymer Blends
We have recently prepared and studied the surface properties of some well-defined multi-end functional polyethylenes. Whilst most of our surface studies indicate that these... -
Effect of Polymer Architecture on Solution Interactions with CTAB/SDS micelles
Dr Edler¿s group has recently been studying the interactions between polymers and surfactant micelles in solution in order to understand how this drives film formation at the... -
The partial dynamical structure factors and vibrational density of states in ...
We wish to measure the partial dynamical structure factors and the partial vibrational density of states (VDOS) for the archetypal network forming glass GeSe2 by using the... -
Characterising micelles formed from new polymerizable amphiphiles derived fro...
Amphiphiles derived from amino acids are important functional materials. The amino, carboxyl and side chain groups present in the chemical structure of amino acids provide wide... -
Structure of GeSe4 glass using neutron diffraction with isotope substitution
The structure of GeSe4 glass will be measured using the method of isotope substitution in neutron diffraction with both Ge and Se isotopes. This material is representative of a... -
Interaction of polypeptide with surfactant: SANS study of solution aggregation
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the solution aggregation of collagen based polypeptides and their interactions with model surfactants.... -
RESUBMISSION : DNA hybridisation-mediated vesicle fusion - kinetics and fate ...
Controlled vesicle fusion has major advantages in diagnostic and drug delivery applications. We have designed a DNA hybridisation-based assay for directed fusion of vesicles... -
Tuning functionality and bulk behaviour of micelles with cyclodextrins
Beta-cyclodextrins (b-CD) are well tolerated in humans without toxic side effects and present in several injectable drug formulations, due to their ability to form host-guest... -
Ionic Liquid Aggregation in Polymers
Ionic liquid/Polymer mixtures, where the ionic liquid is the minority component are of particular interest for their potential as high temperature plasticisers and conducting... -
Structure of Ge-Se Glasses: Extreme Compositions
We propose to measure the structure of glassy Ge2Se3 and GeSe9 which lie at either end of the glass forming region in the Ge-Se system. The motivation is provided by the need to... -

Selective adsorption of polymer on Janus particles
Janus particles, bearing two distinct compositions on the surface of the same particle, have attracted much attention recently as a way to finely tune morphology and... -
Electronically-driven structural transition in Ti-doped Ca3Ru2O7
The purpose of the experiment is to determine the effect of titanium doping on the structural and magnetic transitions of Ca3Ru2O7. The pure material undergoes a Néel transition... -
Solution aggregation of lipopeptides: SANS structure determination
Lipopeptide surfactants are highly effective at reducing interfacial tension. However, there is a general lack of understanding of the relationship between their molecular... -
Using SANS to understand the structural basis for the rheology of molten choc...
Molten chocolate is a semi-solid suspension of (mostly) sugar, but also cocoa and milk solids in oil. In order to allow the sugar grains to flow past each other, either when the... -
Complex evolution of solution microstructure in LAS / nonionic surfactant mix...
This proposal is part of a broad programme of collaborative research between RAL / Oxford and Unilever, using predominantly scattering techniques to investigate the nature of...
