The origins of Biosurfactant self assembly
Biosurfactants are becoming more commonplace in pharmaceuticals, vaccines and other forms of medicines. With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce... -
Magnetic ionic liquid surfactants
This proposal is to explore the magnetic properties and molecular dynamics of a new class of magnetic ionic liquid surfactants1 (MILSs) (see Fig. 1). The MILSs investigated here... -
Studies of local order and clustering in (1-x)BaTiO3-xBiYbO3 Perovskites
We propose total scattering experiments on samples of (1-x)BaTiO3-xBiYbO3 perovskites with x = 0, 0.04, 0.08 and 0.15 to resolve issues over the local structure and degree of... -
Humic acid interactions with alumina surface and the effect of perfluoroalkyl...
In the soil environment, organic matter such as humic acid has a strong influence on the behaviour of organic pollutants such as perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and their... -
How perfume structure affects surface coadsorption with anionic surfactants
In a recent EPSRC / Unilever / Oxford CASE project we have used NR to explore and develop optimised delivery mechanism for active benefit agents such as perfumes. In particular... -
Manipulating surface adsorption of SLES surfactants using temperature
Although surfactant detergency is well understood above 30 C, actions of surfactants below 30 C are not well established. In the era of energy saving and environment caring, we... -
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... -
Surface properties of biogenic polyaminesurfactant mixtures
Polyions and biogenic polyamine are ubiquitous in many important biochemical functions. We propose here to use neutron reflectivity to investigate their potential to induce and... -
A µSR study of the charge density wave superconductors
Superconductivity and the charge density wave (CDW) are two very different cooperative electronic phenomena. However, both occur because of Fermi surface instabilities and... -
Polymer conjugates for drug delivery
Complex polymer architectures such as comb polymers have been studied for their highly customisable chemical properties. Potential applications have been identified in a wide... -
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.... -
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... -
Non-ionic surfactant induced desorption of a strongly bound cationic layer fr...
In this proposal we request beamtime to study the unexpected behaviour of a strongly bound bilayer of the cationic surfactant didodecyldimethylammonium bromide on the anionic... -
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... -
Defect structure in new lithium germanium molybdate LISICONs
Systems that exhibit a continuous framework, with electrolyte and electrode regions differentiated by small differences in composition are being developed for use in all solid... -
Stress-induced martensitic transformations in single crystal Ni2MnGa ferromag...
The Heusler alloys Ni-Mn-Ga are widely considered as a new generation of multifunctional smart materials due to the mutual interplay between structural and magnetic properties... -
Temperature dependence of spin dynamics near quantum criticality in an Ising ...
This proposal is part of our research programme to explore the interplay of thermal and quantum fluctuations near zero-temperature quantum phase transitions. Here we apply for a... -
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... -
Deformation mechanisms of a newly developed Ni-base superalloy at cryogenic t...
Haynes 282 is a novel Ni-base superalloy, combining excellent weldability and general processability with moderate cost. As such, it is very promising for e.g. industrial gas... -
