The aim of this work is to use small angle neutron scattering (SANS) to probe the vapour sorption of the ionomeric component of novel proton exchange membranes as a function of...

Neutron scattering will allow to advance the understanding of lipoprotein behavior in solution and at the interface of relevant biological interfaces. Here we focus on HDL...

Co-solvency and Co-nonsolvency are two extreme phenomena in the field of polymer solution. The former is the phenomenon that a mixture of two nonsolvent forms a good solvent for...

Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK with approximately 41,000 individuals in the UK diagnosed annually. Importantly it is estimated that over half of all...

Polysiloxane materials are commonly used in marine coatings due to their inherently low surface energy and flexibility which makes them suitable base materials for foul release...

Non-ionic/metallosurfactant (P123/CTAF) mixed micelles are used as templates for the hydrothermal synthesis of mesoporous ferrisilicate materials. It was hypothesized that...

CO2 foams can be formed in water/carbon dioxide (W/CO2) mixtures with the aid of W/CO2 interfacially active hydrocarbon surfactants and surface treated silica nanoparticles...

NDA Agreement No. 1011-169 Lubrizol No. 36695

We propose to use SANS to probe the self organised formation of P3HT nanowires in a solution of deuterated chlorobenzene over a 48 hr period in order to better understand the...

Organosilica nanomaterials have received substantial attention in the past two decades with a number of reports describing their synthesis, structural features, properties and...

Lithium ion batteries are the power source of choice for portable electrical devices owing to performance in terms of high specific capacity and reliability. Liquid electrolyte...

Abnormally glycosylated IgA leads to IgA nephropathy, the most common cause of renal failure. IgG antibody represents one-third of new drugs currently in development, and its...

Small-angle neutron scattering will investigate in phase diagrams from binary mixtures of different chain lengths of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium...

The results from this experiment will develop alternatives to controlling surface tension through the design of 21st century surfactants (better performance at lower...

The current project aims to 1) elucidate how bile salts (BS) structure influences their interfacial behaviour and role during lipolysis; 2) to study the potential ability of...

Nanogranular thin films of FexAg100-x (x=7,15,35) are an excellent system to study the interplay between the nanostructure and the magnetic behaviour, which is triggered by the...

Producing meat analogue instead of real meat is one effective way to reduce carbon emission and improve animal welfare. Calcium caseinate is a prominent candidate for making a...

For twenty years scientists have been searching for surfactants able to solubilise water nano-domains in supercritical carbon dioxide, scCO2 (as water-in-scCO2 microemulsions,...

Photochromic devices are ones which change colour upon the irradiation of light. These devices can be used a sensors, logic gates and privacy windows etc. Here we show and...

Nascent 'disentangled' block copolymers of Ultra-high Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) with a reduced number of entanglements were synthesized having protonated (hPE) and...
