We propose to use neutron scattering experiments to gain molecular level insight into an intriguing liquid structure observed in a water-free CO2-capture solvent. Switchable...

Dye sensitised solar cells, based around colloids of the wide bandgap semiconductor TiO2 with bound dyes have potential to provide a cheap,sustainable source of solar energy...

Complex coacervates have been studied for a long time for their medical applications and unusualphysical-chemical properties: they are dense networks of poly-electrolytes, that...

Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a bioactive structural amphiphilic molecule which forms the outer leaflet of the outer membrane of the Gram negative cell envelope. During...

Amphiphilic linear surfactants based on PEO and PPO triblock copolymers, known as Pluronics, exhibit a rich polymorphism and have been extensively studied for their applications...

Liquid crystal displays are ubiquitous but they are not perfect. It is desirable to reduce the voltage required to switch a pixel from light to dark in order to reduce power...

Nanostructured lipid aggregates offer enormous potential as tools for membrane structural biology and biophysics. Styrene-Maleic Acid Lipid Particles have a number of attractive...

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...

We propose to use SANS to study the intra-particle information (size, shape, interactions) of pristine and zwitterion doped PEDOT:PSS in order to have a better understanding of...

We have previously used LOQ to identify the complex (polyplex) structures formed between a short single strand DNA and a cationic diblock copolymer MPC30-DEA60. The SANS...

Conjugation of therapeutic proteins to polymers is well established but most methods result in multi-site and multiple conjugation, crosslinking resulting in lack of orientation...

There is conflicting information about properties of polycrylic acid and its behaviour in aqueous solution. This proposal for an investigation by SANS that is directed at...

This proposal will test whether membrane proteins within lipid cubic phases preferentially sit in more or less curved bilayer regions, using our recent advances in preparing...

With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce reliance on palm and crude oil derived materials, it is vital that the Home and Personal Care industry...

The interactions of neutral polymers with surfactants have a key role in detergency and are systems of current academic and commercial interest. Here, we propose to study the...

The aim of the proposed SANS experiment is to study the capability of aggregation, the shape and the size of aggregates of three amyloid peptides named (Abeta1-40, Abeta1-42 and...

In the proposed experiments we extend previous work on characterization of aggregates formed by cationic conjugated polymers and oligomers in water. Particular emphasis will be...

Nano-steels are a new generation of Advanced High Strength Steels, extremely suitable for lightweight automotive applications. The ferrite phase, which provides ductility and...

Emusifier distribution in concentrated dispersions

The purpose is to follow a structural evolution as water soluble (normal curvature) micelles are gradually transformed into oil soluble (reversed curvature) aggregates. Although...
