Crystal structure of CeIrSi3

Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly to lead to interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation....

The main objective of the present study is to gain an understanding of the nature of the interaction of ¿phospholipid membranes¿ with small, interfering RNA (siRNA) in the...

This proposal is part of a major EPSRC (EP/GR065705)/Unilever funded programme to develop and control the spontaneous formation of surfactant multilayer structures at...

Phenomena surrounding the wetting of natural or artificial topographically patterned surfaces are found systems associated with the diverse fields of chemical engineering,...

Bioactive glasses are of considerable interest due to their potential for biomedical applications. In order to model the behaviour and dissolution of these materials it is...

Stabilised bismuth oxides are of interest as intermediate temperature solid electrolytes for a variety of electrochemical device applications. Lead doping into bismuth yttrate...

At present there is a growing interest to porous carbon due to its large field of application. Porous activated carbons with their large surface area and microporosity are one...

Coexistence of magnetic ordering and ferroelectricity in multiferroic materials, especially at high temperatures, is of great technological and fundamental interest. There are...

The proposal aims to determine the degree of interfacial mixing and roughness at an interface between two conjugated polymers, as part of a broder program to understand how to...

We will investigate a series of amorphised zeolitic solids and determine the short and medium range order structures and more importantly the nature of pore-size when we go from...

We plan to continue inelastic neutron scattering measurements on the high Tc cuprate superconductor BSCCO with optimum doping. In the proposed experiment, we will have about 40...

We will investigate a series of aluminophosphate systems, in particular related to small pore materials and determine the short and medium range order structures and more...

In this proposal we wish to continue our current work on mesostructured inorganic films in largely ethanolic solutions, containing limited amounts of water. Transition metal...

Production of hydrogen from water via visible light driven photocatalytic water splitting is a future technology that may offer important routes to clean fuels. Graphitic carbon...

This proposal is for crystal-structure (on HRPD) and magnetic ordering (on WISH) studies on the local-moment compound CeRu2Al10. It follows from our recent neutron studies at...

Polymers adsorbed or otherwise attached to interfaces provide an extremely powerful tool to control the forces that act between interfaces. The functionality of these attached...

Lipopeptide surfactants are highly effective at reducing interfacial tension. However, there is a general lack of understanding of the relationship between their molecular...

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,...

Mucus is a bio-gel, an opaque and slimy secretion that forms a continuous ¿blanket¿ adherent to epithelial surfaces in mammalian organs (eye, nose, conductive airways,...
