This proposal is part of a research programme which is focused on nano-fibres prepared by electrospinning. The programme is centered on the spinning...

We have synthesised alkyl phosphorylcholine (CnPC) surfactants in hydrogenated and deuterated form and have determined their solution aggregation using SANS. In this part of...

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 increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin B (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents that can circumvent the...

The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of different stimuli on a novel iron oxide core shell nanoparticles. The system is composed of a magnetite core with a...

We have begun to explore the synthesis, reactivity and physicochemical properties of a number of surface-active metal complexes, to devise a method for the catalytic...

Polymer-protein conjugates have been designed to deliver an appropriate target growth factor to promote a more rapid healing of chronic wounds, an incredibly important area for...

The targeted delivery of non-water soluble drugs for applications such as cancer remains a major challenge. Nanocapsules are new materials that can act as a depot for such drugs...

Storing the energy available from the sun as a fuel that can be used anytime is a major global challenge. Organic materials synthesised from abundant elements that can harness...

Time-resolved SANS will be performed to investigate the effect of shear on the fibrillisation of insulin following denaturation. The rheological response will be measured...

Centrifugal force spinning is a technique that has recently come into light as an easy route to producing large quantities of nano- to micro- scale polymer fibres in a short...

The controlled synthesis of precious metal nanoparticles of the appriopriate chemical composition, optimised size and morphology for use in catalysis is an ongoing experimental...

This projects aims to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between processing conditions, active layer morphology and device performance in polymer solar...
