Conformational behaviour of amphiphilic polymethacrylate-poly(acrylic acid) c...
We intend to use small angle neutron scattering to investigate the conformational behaviour of a range of amphiphilic copolymers comprising a hydrophobic methacrylate segment... -
Polymer-induced critical pase separation
This proposal concerns a novel approach to phase separation in self-assembling colloidal systems. Microemulsions can be readily formulated to display critical-type phase... -
Inverse Metallosurfactants and Metallomicroemulsions
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... -
Phase behaviour in Polymer-Photovoltaic Blends
In polymer-fullerene based photovoltaic systems the phase behaviour of the blends is poorly understood and remains a fundamental stumbling block to improvements in device... -
Structure of biocompatible fluorescent microemulsions
Building from work previously carried out at ISIS (RB1410544) and pulished open-access in Chem. Commun. 2016, 25, 7344, we propose a SANS experiment to investigate the structure... -
Investigation of effect of radiolytic oxidation on A3-3 matrix material micro...
A3-3 matrix material is the semi-graphitc composite used in high-temperature nuclear reactors to form fuel compounds containing coated particle fuel. In a CO2 cooled reactor,... -
Contrast variation studies of novel binary polypeptide gels
Low molecular weight gelators (LMWG) form hydrogels via self-assembly in water under specific conditions to form long, fibrillar structures. Non-covalent forces interactions... -
PAN-pyrene-micelle based sensors for metal ions
We have been studying the solution interactions leading to formation of solid polymer-surfactant films at the air-solution interface. We want to use the mesostructures in the... -
SANS study of the effects of leucine-isoleucine sequences on the self-assembl...
In this work, we have selected a group of short peptides containing 4-5 Ile (I) and 1 Lys (K) and examined the effects of sequential substitution of one I by L on... -
Co-existing Hydro/Fluorcarbon Microemulsions for Lanathanide Emission Enhance...
Very recently (April) we undertook a SANS experiment (RB1110147) to probe the partitioning of metal-acac ligand complexes in complex microemulsion media. Our aim was to design a... -
Component Characterization
Time is required on Loq to study the bulk properties of commercial systems under shear. This time will come under existing NDA with Lubrizol. -
Investigation of the effect of adjuvants on the sphere-to-rod transition in s...
Small aromatic compounds are strongly solubilised by Pluronic block copolymers. This includes adjuvants, which are compounds used in the pharmaceutical industry to aid drug... -
Change in conformation of a chiral poly(2-oxazoline) induced by temperature o...
The aim of this experiment is to investigate the change in conformation of a chiral polymer dissolved in hexafluoroisopropanol as the temperature of the system is varied.... -
Manipulation of the aggregate curvature in water/dense CO2 system
This proposal aims to investigate how the curvature of surfactant assemblies in water/dense CO2 systems can be tuned via the design and mixing of CO2-phillic surfactants. One... -
Unlocking the Lyotropic Liquid Crystal Phases of Novel Photosurfactants
Photosurfactants (PS) demonstrate the combined ability to change their shape upon irradiation with light and self-organise into polymolecular assemblies. However, the phase... -
Thin Water Layers
The aim of this proposal is to determine the thickness of a water layer surrounding colloidal particles dispersed in oil with changes in ionic strength. Recent work by our group... -

SANS Investigation on Packing Structure of Proteasome Activator 28
Proteasome plays an important role in the processing of antigenenic proteins for presentation by the MHC class I pathway. PA28 is an activator of the 20S proteasome, a large... -
Controlled Assembly of Cationic Polythiophene-Surfactant Complexes
We intend to study the phase behaviour of 2 cationic polythiophenes, P3MAHT and P3ImiHT, inthe presence of the perfluorinated surfactant (C8 chain) PFOS and its hydrogenated... -
Core-Shell Melt Electrospun Fibres
Electrospinning is a technique that produces nanoscale to microscale sized polymer fibre from solution and the molten state. We have previously used small angle neutron...
