We use chemistry to arrange unusual crystal structures that set up conflicting interactions between magnetic ions in the material. In these compounds i is not possible for a...

Many drugs are both poorly water-soluble (hydrophobic) and lipophilic in nature and are therefore incorporated into surfactant micelles and monolayers. As the incorporation of...

N-salicylidineanilines are known to show thermochromic behaviour, which is currently postulated to arise from an intramolecular proton shift between the keto and enol form as...

This proposal seeks to test a new battery designed to allow in situ neutron diffraction measurements of lithium ion battery electrodes under charge and discharge. We have...

Crystallisation of membrane proteins as a precursor to high resolution structural studies is a significant research bottleneck. We are investigating alternative methods to...

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....

To improve the railway networks, track components with greater durability are essential. To this end, we clad a layer of premium material on railhead to reduce wear and the...

In the current proposal, we require TOSCA to investigate by vibrational spectroscopy the apparent amorphous nature of the prototype drug molecule ibuprofen confined by...

The aim is to use Neutron Reflectivity (NR) to gain essential information on adsorption properties of practical fluorotelomer surfactants used in fire-fighting foam formulations...

The development of all-solid state batteries is of significant interest as a solid electrolyte enables the removal of the flammable solvent phase and is stable to much higher...

Progress in the development of nano-sized hybrid therapeutics and nano-sized drug delivery systems - "nanomedicines" - over the last decade has been remarkable. One key...
