Probing the effect of carbon chain length of hydrophobically modified polymer...
Competitive interaction exist in many formulations, especially in the case of hydrophobically modified polymers (HMPs), surfactants, and particles of differing surface... -
Micelle structures in unequal mixtures of amino-acid surfactants
In a previous proposal we started to study the micellar structures formed from biodegradable surfactants synthesised using amino acids as the headgroups. The aim of this work is... -
Characterisation of the lithium-ion cell cathode material lithium iron phosph...
With the decreasing cost of energy generation by renewable sources, energy storage is becoming increasingly critical to energy security across the globe. Lithium iron phosphate... -
Solid state hydrogen storage in carbon nitride materials for practical applic...
Existing fossil fuels are on the verge of extinction and thus in this scenario renewable fuels are need of hour. Hydrogen is potential energy source and can be stored in carbon... -
Observation of low energy modes of adsorbed CO on a catalyst
Carbon monoxide occurs widely in industry in many roles. It is a feedstock for methanol synthesis and in Fischer-Tropsch chemistry for synthetic petrol and diesel. It is a... -
QENS on Halide Stabilized LiBH4
LiBH4, is an ionic solid, consisting of Li+ and BH4- ions. It undergoes a structural phase transition at 383K. Within the HT phase, the BH4-units undergo rapid re-orientations,... -
INS study of propane/propene separation using non-charged ITQ-29 Zeolites as ...
Zeolites are perhaps the most successful microporous materials used for catalysis and separation processes in refineries and chemical industries[1-3]. This is due to the... -
Study of carbon supports for catalysts used in the direct synthesis of hydrog...
We have recently shown that acid washing of a carbon support prior to metal (Au, Pd) deposition enhances the activity of the resulting catalysts for the direct synthesis of... -
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... -
The solution structure of E.coli peripheral membrane protein FtsA solubilised...
We will measure the solution structure of a protein complex from bacteria essential for cell division. The two proteins, FtsA and FtsZ, are known to interact with each other... -

Quantitative analysis of precipitate coarsening in V and V-Mo microalloyed steel
Ever-more stringent environmental regulations have driven the automotive industry to continuously develop lightweight solutions in automotive body sheet materials, without... -
Investigation of the effect of crack propagation on weld zone residual stress...
Welds have an associated residual stress field that affects the propagation rate of weld zone defects/cracks. Crack propagation modifies the local stress field through residual... -
Use of nitric oxide radicals for the formation of a supramolecular hydrogel
The aim of this proposal is to study the structure of hydrogel systems formed from fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (FMOC) protected peptides, via the use of nitric oxide radicals.... -
Uptake of Molecular Hydrogen by High-performance Carbon Nanostructures (IRIS)
High sorption capacities and enhanced interaction strengths are the two most fundamental prerequisites for the deployment of carbon-based materials as hydrogen-storage media. In... -
Copper precipitates in nuclear power plant pressuriser weld after 29 years of...
The pressuriser is a vital part of a pressurised water reactor (PWR). We are now investigating a weld of a pressuriser that has been in operation for 29 years. The long time at... -
Combined SAXS and SANS analysis of strained composite materials
The microscopic origins of strain softening (Payne Effect) are vital to our understanding of energy dissipation in vehicle tyres. This proposal builds on our recent SANS... -
Deuteron Coherence in Carbon Nanotube Water
The protons in H2O confined in carbon nanotubes have been shown to delocalize coherently at low temperatures, exhibiting a rich phenomenology that is sensitive to the diameter... -
Micelle structures in mixtures of amino-acid surfactants
There has been a recent revival of interest in preparation of surfactants from natural starting materials as they are more biodegradable and thus more environmentally friendly... -
Probing the effect of hydrophobic end chain length on the interaction of hydr...
Polymers are used to increase the viscosity of formulations to impart beneficial characteristics. To minimize the amount of polymer needed, polymers that form gels through...
