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.... -
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... -
Pressure-driven transformation of the Al coordination environment in oxide glass
In situ high-pressure neutron diffraction will be used to investigate the pressure-induced transformation of the Al coordination environment in a prototypical aluminosilicate... -
Self-assembling behaviour of N-acyl amino acid-based surfactants
N-acyl amino acids are surfactants with attractive applications in different technological fields. They are referred to as mild surfactants because they are commonly considered... -
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... -
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... -
Multiscale time-resolving study of solid state crystallisation from the mesom...
We will exploit the unique capability of Nimrod in the study of the long standing issue of polymer crystallisation. We focus on isotactic polypropylene which has been quenched... -
Interaction of polypeptides with surfactants: aqueous solution aggregation
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding how collagen based polypeptides interact with ionic surfactants using SANS. Both SDS and C12TAB will be... -
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... -

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... -
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... -
Atomic structure of 2NaY-Ga2S3 (Y = Cl, Br, I) liquids
Alkali halide sulphide and selenide glasses MY-Ga2X3-GeX2 (M = Li, Na, Rb, Cs; Y = Cl, Br, I; X = S, Se) are promising hosts for active and passive optical devices, solid-state... -
Early stages of amyloid aggregate formation
We will study the kinetics of the early stages of aggregate formation in protein solutions under conditions that are known to result in the formation of amyloid protein fibres... -
Understanding elevated temperature and creep properties of a novel maraging s...
Producing a steel alloy that has both high and low temperature capabilities is non-trivial. However, recently a novel maraging steel has been developed that has shown excellent... -
Solution structures of the immunologically important proteins IgG and C3b
IgG antibody represents one-third of new drugs currently in development. We will unravel the solution structures of the Fab and Fc fragments within IgG. Following our earlier... -
SANS studies of imprinted nanogels: evaluation of a possible relationship bet...
The aim of the project is to use Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) to determine the particle sizes and the internal shell dimensions of the nanogels as a function of the... -
The effect of anionic lipid unsaturation on the interaction with cytochrome c
While peripheral membrane protein-lipid interactions were originally considered to be solely electrostatic in nature, it is now accepted that they encompass more complicated,... -
Multiscale time resolving study of the crystallisation of polyethylene from s...
This experiment is focused on the use of the unique capability of Nimrod to study the crystallisation of polymers from solution. We wish to obtain high quality time-resolved... -
Impact of multivalent counterions on surfactant self-assembly
We request SANS beam time on LOQ to study the impact of multivalent counterions on the micellisation of alkyloxyethylene sulfate surfactants and alkyloxyethylene sulphate /...
