Dynamics of in Poly(vinyl alcohol)-SiC Nanofiber Composite
Inorganic-organic hybrid nanocomposites are formed by incorporating inorganic nanoparticles in soft organic polymer matrices. The dynamics of the polymer can be affected due to... -
Effects of Non-Steroid Anti-Inflammatory Drugs on the Microscopic Dynamics of...
Dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DODAB), is a double chain synthetic cationic lipid that conforms the membrane-like bilayer structure and has found widespread use in several... -
Revising the onset of anharmonicity in proteins
Our previous INS studies of ¿dry¿/hydrated apoferritin show that the hydrated protein undergoes a dynamical transition, Td, at 200K. Such behavior, first modeled by Doster et al... -
Chain Length Dependent Diffusion of Room Temperature Ionic Liquid in Bulk and...
The proposed research aims to probe the effects of alkyl chain length on the dynamics of a room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) in bulk and in confinement in nano porous carbon... -
Thermal fluctuations of cold shock proteins from different flavours of extrem...
Extremophiles are organisms which survive and thrive in extreme environments. The proteins from extremophilic organisms have received considerable attention as they are... -
Quasi-Elastic Neutron Scattering on adenine-based gold(I) hydrogel-entangled ...
The hydrogelation of gold(I) complexes is a fascinating albeit still underdeveloped area of soft matter chemistry, with feasible high-technology applications based on the unique... -
Dynamic transition of Poly(ethylene glycol) with or without the solvation water
Water is the source of life, but the effects of hydration water on the dynamics and function of biological and bio-compatible macromolecules are still full of debates. Chen et... -
Lipid dynamics in yeast cell membranes effect of ergosterol and its precursors
A cell membrane can contain hundreds of different lipid molecules, but our understanding of the dynamics of cell membranes is very limited. As a result of a collaboration... -
Dynamics of yeast lipid membranes
A cell membrane can contain hundreds of different lipid molecules, but our understanding of the dynamics of cell membranes is very limited. As a result of a collaboration... -
Cs mixed cation lead perovskites
Organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskites combine the optoelectronic properties commonly associated with high performance semiconductors with materials synthesis or processing... -
Molecular weight dependence of 2D-confined dynamics in glass-forming systems
We seek to explore the dynamics of glass forming systems upon extreme 2D-confinement. These experiments are motivated by preliminary experiments on oligomers and macromolecules... -
Spatial, Chemical, and Temporal Resolution of Platinum-Catalysed Benzene Conv...
This proposal aims to study the potential for neutron diffraction to offer spatially-, chemically-, and temporally-resolved information on a dynamic system, in this case the... -
Me-ND311BD4: a temperature dependent study of its crystal structure and decom...
We request 4 days on HRPD with the IGAn apparatus to follow the structural changes of Me-ND4 11BD4 as a function of temperature. The high resolution of HRPD will allow us to... -
Dynamics of Phospholipid Based Vesicles: Effect of Addition of Salicylate Dru...
Structure and functions of cell membrane are susceptible to alterations as a consequence of interactions with chemical species. The objective of the proposed experiment is to... -
Tracking membrane dynamics during the topological phase transitions in amphip...
The proposed experiment addresses the dynamics of surfactants in amphiphile/water systems during the topological transition, with a focus on the membrane with non-lamellae...
