Interaction of a pH-sensitive Polymer with a Model Lipid Membrane in the Form...
This SANS experiment was proposed by 4 PhD students from 3 different institutions in a Marie-Curie Training Network. They are all in the second year of their PhD and their... -
SANS characterization of hybrid vesicles lipid/polybutadiene-polyethyleneoxid...
Amphiphilic polymers are biocompatible, tunable and versatile macromolecules used in biotechnology and drug delivery. Similarly to the phospholipids that constitute the membrane... -
Aggregation behaviour in solution of cationic conjugated polymers and oligomers
We extend previous work on aggregates formed by cationic conjugated oligomers in water with surfactants and... -
Photo-reactive surfactants for nanoparticle generation
The aim is to employ contrast variation CV-SANS to investigate structure in novel systems used to generate metal-containing nanoparticles on organic solvents by UV irradiation.... -
Commensurate to incommensurate transition in triangular antiferromagnet PdCrO...
We propose to study an effect of uniaxial pressure on a magnetic structure of triangular antiferromagnet PdCrO2. The experiment will mark a technical milestone in development of... -
Metallomicroemulsions - a new class of supramolecularly organised metal ions
Incorporation of d- or f-block metals into ligand systems that renders a metal complex surface active or drives its partitioning into surfactant phases enables the localisation... -
Self-assembly of nonionic surfactant in alcohol/water from room temperature t...
Surfactant self-assembly has been extensively studied in aqueous solution at room temperature or above, but it was less documented at temperatures below 0 °C. Our preliminary... -
Anion effects on self-assembly in deep eutectic solvents.
Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are mixtures of an organic salt with a hydrogen bond donor that form strong interactions which hinder crystallisation. DES share many features with... -
Co-micellization of hydrotropes and surfactants
This proposal builds on recent work with hydrotropes alone (Langmuir, 2011, 27, 12346-12353); now co-micellisation of hydrotropes with surfactants will be investigated. The aim... -
Finite size effects in nanostructured thin layers of shape memory alloys
Ferromagnetic shape memory alloys can undergo reversible strain changes in external magnetic fields. Here we want to characterize NiMnGa alloys, which present brittle behavior... -
Study of self-organization of cationic pH- and thermo responsive copolymers w...
The aim of our work is to study structural properties of supra-molecular assemblies formed in aqueous solutions of cationic pH- and thermo-sensitive block-gradient copolymers... -
Assembly Mechanism of Fibrous Gemini Surfactant Gels
Building from experimental kinetic work already carried out, we will investigate the initial steps in the assembly mechanism of gemini surfactants that form fibrous gels in... -
Gels in CO2
The proposal aims to explore different self-assembly structures in CO2 with the focus of developing viscosity modifiers for supercritical CO2 (sc-CO2). This is part of a... -

Controlled release from lipid-alkylglycoside vesicles, as triggered by amylas...
The consumer demands for functional food have increased the interest for encapsulation of bioactive compounds in the food industry. Encapsulation is crucial, since these... -
Co-adsorption of eggshell membrane polypeptide-surfactant mixtures at oil-in-...
An eggshell membrane polypeptide is highly surface active and effective at emulsion stabilization. We explore how to use SANS to study the interfacial layers surrounding the... -
Effect of serum and electrolyte on the structure of nanoemulsions intended fo...
Nanoemulsions (NE) i.e. nanoparticles containing a fluid lipid or oil dispersed in water and stabilized by a surfactant particles have attracted considerable attention as... -
Exchange kinetics of complex coacervates core micelles
Coacervates have been studied for a long time for their unusual properties: they are dense networks of charged polymers that are soluble in water. Instead of flocculating when... -
Conformational analysis of subtilin / lipid II binary antibiotic/target membr...
Antibiotic resistance is pathogenic bacteria is a major clinical problem. Resistance to all antibiotiotic classes, currentl yin clinical use, has been reported. By contrast, the... -
SANS Studies of Radiation-grafted Anion-exchange Membranes with Different Gra...
We request one days beam time on SANS2D for the study of hydrated, radiation-grafted anion-exchange membranes synthesised with different grafting times. These materials are...
