Spontaneous surfactant multilayer formation at interfaces induced by multival...
The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at interfaces from surfactant self-assembly is now emerging as an important structural signature associated with a wide range... -
The influence of chemical pressure on the helimagnetic correlatations and sky...
The recent discovery of skyrmions and skyrmion lattices in materials with no inversion symmetry and their corresponding potential applications of Skyrmions in magnetic... -
Scaling Model for the adsorption of macromolecules at the oil-water interface
The aim of this proposal is the application of the scaling model for the adsorption of proteins at the oil-water interface. The adsorbed amount for a series of oils as a... -
Structural development in Whey protein polymer composite solutions for electr...
This is part of an on-going investigation into nano/micro scale sized polymer fibres at the University of Reading, prepared through the process of electrospinning. Currently we... -
Investigation of the surface structure of anionic surfactants induced by 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... -
Adsorption of sodium polyacrylate to sapphire - how does a colloidal stabiliz...
Stabilizers of colloidal particles are often complex and their function may involve several mechanisms to impart stability of a wide range of conditions. Sodium polyacrylate is... -
Probing the interplay between charge density wave and superconductivity in st...
We propose to study PdxIrTe2, which evolves from a charge-orbital density wave state to a superconducting state with doping. It has a similar structural motif, doping-dependent... -
Multilayering of Isostearic Methyl Ester Sulphonate at the Air-Aqueous Interf...
Surfactants usually form a single layer of molecules at the surface of water. We have shown that under certain conditions more than one layer may form. in which case the system... -
Spectroscopy of muon centres in n-type silicon carbide
We propose to continue laser spectroscopy measurements of the muonium (Mu-) centres in n-type doped silicon carbide. Scanning a wide wavelength range, and changing the relative... -
Multilayering of Methyl Ester Sulphonates at the Air-Aqueous Interface: Effec...
Surfactants usually form a single layer of molecules at the surface of water. We have shown that under certain conditions more than one layer may form. When this happens the... -
Effect of polar solvent on the structure of monolayers of phospholipid
It is the aim of the proposal is to perform neutron reflectivity (NR) studies combined with contrast variation to determine the structure of phospholipid monolayers on a... -
Controlling superfluid stiffness and Tc in new pnictide superconductors
Our previous studies of superconducting LiFeAs derivatives revealed a significant difference in Uemura scaling compared with all other studied pnictides. This experiment is... -
In-situ Neutron Diffraction Study on the Tension and Creep Behavior of the Al...
Resubmitted proposal. High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are loosely defined as solid solution alloys that contain more than five principal elements in equal or near equal atomic... -
Deformation mechanisms in several simple alloys to underpin creep damage char...
The proposal is to study three alloys, both at high temperature and room temperature, to corroborate strain results obtained through high resolution digital image correlation.... -
Response of Cellulose Nanofibril Gels to Shear
Partially oxidised cellulose nanofibrils have recently been found to form gels in the presence of small amounts of salt or surfactant. As cellulose is a renewable, sustainable... -
Effect of temperature on the structure of model wax films as studied by neutr...
Cuticular wax films protect plants by mediating water and nutrient transport from the environment. Surfactant is a key ingredient in agrisprays that can promote the uptake of... -
The Effect of the Head Group on Multilayering of Alkanoic Alkyl Ester Sulphon...
We have shown that under certain conditions multilayer adsorption of surfactants occurs at the air-water interface. in which case the system becomes a powerful wetting agent (it... -
Micellar modifiers for CO2
This proposal focuses on a new approach to the formation of rod-like micelles in supercritical CO2 (scCO2). Recent successful high-pressure SANS (HP-SANS) results have shown for... -
