Solubilisation of Drug Molecules in Nonionic Surfactant Micelles: Structural ...
This proposal aims to understand how the structure of non-ionic surfactant micelles affects the amount of fungicides solubilised. SANS is a technique unique for unravelling the... -
Understanding Micelle Formation in Binary Ionic Liquid Mixtures
Neutron diffraction will be used to investigate and compare the structure of binary mixtures of ionic liquids above and below the critical micelle concentration. Mixtures of... -
Characterisation of the magnetic properties of SnxFe4xN
Gamma'-Fe4N exhibits fascinating magnetic properties. It adopts a simple perovskite-like structure (space group Pm-3m) with iron atoms occupying the corners (Wyckoff position... -
Structural comparison of peptidomimetic building blocks
Peptidomimetics are synthetic mimics of peptides, the natural building blocks of proteins, and their development is a growing field of science. An underlying theme in recent... -
The quest for attractive divalent sulfur - oxygen interactions
Weak nonbonded interactions between a divalent sulfur and an oxygen atom have attracted growing interest because of their roles in determining the structure and the biological... -
Solid state processing of conjugated polymer-fullerene blends
Blends of fullerenes with conjugated polymers (CP), such as PCBM-P3HT blends, are being extensively investigated for polymer photovoltaic applications. We have been studying the... -
Protein-Ionic liquid interactions: A window into future sustainable processin...
Processing of complex biopolymers, particularly proteins such as keratin and silk, has been hindered by the extremely low solubility and thus accessibility to the protein... -

Determination of the H-H bond lenght of H2/CuBTC MOF (SANDALS)
The rotational line of hydrogen is very clearly measured with TOSCA. For the past few years I have noticed that the changes in the position of the rotational line do not follow... -
SANS studies of mixed phospholipid:sterol vesicles and their interaction with...
The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin B (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents that can circumvent the... -
Fate of silver nanoparticles in enhanced wastewater treatment
Building on the success of our earlier work, we now propose to use SANS to examine the floc structure and sedimentation behaviour of silver nanoparticles in wastewater matrices... -
Crystallization of clathrate hydrates from amorphous THF-water solutions
Understanding clathrate hydrate formation and stability is an urgent issue due to their environmental importance. However, a fundamental understanding of the molecular processes... -
Telechelic Polymer - Homopolymer Blends
We have recently embarked on a new 1 year project funded by Michelin to explore the self-associatation and mechanical properties of telechelic rubbery materials. Such materials... -

The pressure dependence of the decomposition temperature of methane hydrate i...
The properties of methane ammonia water mixtures are crucial for models of how the outer planets evolved and yet have not been much studied. This proposal is for beamtime to... -
Suppression of thermal conductivity in nanostructured ZnO
Thermoelectricity offers solutions for the low-carbon economy through the development of energy-efficient technology. Modest improvement in thermoelectric performance would... -
Magnetic excitations in mesoporous hematite
We have recently prepared mesoporous forms of various metals oxides. In some cases the imposition of a mesostructure changes other properties of the material significantly. One... -
Reorientational dynamics in a low-dimensional glass
Most of the features exhibited by canonical glass-formers can also be found in systems with a high-degree of translational order. In addition to the well-known orientationally... -
Structural studies of thermochemical and phase-change naterials for heat storage
This proposal seeks to study three systems associated with heat-storage applications using in situ neutron powder diffraction. The first experiment will focus on a sample of... -
Structural phase diagram of hydrated silks
The formation of silk fibres in both spiders and silkworms is characterized by a conversion of short range ordered structures in solution into long range ordered beta-sheet rich...
