Partially deuterated gradient poly(2-oxazolines): self-assembly studies
Gradient and block copoly(2-oxazoline)s have been prepared comprising a partially deuterated hydrophilic poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) part and a hydrogenated... -
Structural analysis of amino acyl-tRNA-dependent Ligation Reactions in Bacter...
Assembly of the peptidoglycan later of bacterial cell walls is a validated target for anti-bacterial agents: the late transpeptidation and transglycosylation steps are inhibited... -
Lateral Phase Behavior in bulk heterojunction films containing low-molecular ...
Grazing incidence small angle neutron scattering (GISANS) will be used to investigate the lateral phase behavior in thin films of blends of electron-donor... -
On the structure and composition of non-lamellar lipid-based liquid crystalli...
To better understand the properties of non-lamellar liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LCNP) as delivery vehicles, it is crucial to understand their internal structure and the... -
Structure of a bacterial membrane chaperone complex
The proteins of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria are critical for bacterial survival. The understanding of how these proteins are targeted and folded into this... -
Aggregation of chiral catalysts based on the Trost ligand
The project represents a new application of SANS to investigate chemically sophisticated chiral catalysts, addressing important questions in modern synthetic and catalytic... -
SANS Studies of Novel Internally Stabilised Liposomes
Internally supported liposomes (ISLs) are composed of polymeric spheres enclosed by liposomes. Although very little research has been done on ISLs, understanding their... -
Formulating polymer solutions to stabilise polymeric foams
Polyurethane foams (PUFs) are commonly prepared by mixing Pluronic type copolymers and isocyanate reactive monomers in the presence of additives e.g. catalysts, blowing agent... -
GISANS from Standard Samples
It is necessary to commission 'standard' GISANS samples to ensure that users can validate their measurements on Sans2d. This was put in as a full proposal at the last round and... -
Flux Lattice Phase diagram in YBCO up to 17T
Our sample of fully oxygenated and de-twinned YBCO has previously given the first measurements of the intrinsic vortex lattice in this material, up to fields of 11 T. We have... -
Stabilization of anisotropic pigment particles: SANS
We wish to determine the effect of various stabilisers on anisotropic pigment particles that are being developed for use in liquid crystal composites. The SANS method uses the... -
Determination of the Interfacial Structure of Lubricating Bottle-Brush Polyme...
Lubrication of surfaces by modification with polymer films has proven an efficient method of frictional reduction. Bio-inspired bottle-brush copolymers containing a linear block...
