Control of oil exchange dynamics in microemulsions by amphiphilic copolymers
A very important property of O/W microemulsions is the exchange dynamics of the oil molecules. So far little is know about that, despite the fact that its control is crucial for... -
Formation of cellulose-starch gels: effect of cellulose source and surfactants
This proposal forms part of an ongoing project concerning interpenetrating network gels of starch and cellulose being developed towards applications in personal care and... -

Controlling the morphology of bulk heterojunction (BHJ) films using mixtures ...
Through a combination of small angle neutron scattering, ion-beam analysis and ellipsometry we have recently demonstrated that in organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) the... -
HC-polymer 3D-network conjugated by hydrocarbon-fluorocarbon core/shell aggre...
For the last two decades, many polymers have been tested to increase CO2 viscosity for enhanced oil recovery. Unfortunately, HC-polymers were found to be inactive for the... -
Investigating the internal structure of two-component polymer nanoparticles f...
The elucidation of the compositional profile inside the polymer nanoparticles is of critical importance for applications such as water processable organic solar cells. In order... -
Probing membrane localisation of molecular rotors
A number of important biological processes, such as intracellular transport and signal transduction depend on the viscosity and the distribution of microdomains in cells. We... -
quantitative dark field imaging using Larmor labelling
We will determine whether a neutron technique called dark field Lamor imaging can provide quantitative information about the spatial distribution of small inhomogeneities in... -
Multi-catalyst ensembles - aggregation structure and selectivity
There is exciting potential for SANS to resolve an important problem in homogeneous catalyst chemistry. The Pd-chiral catalyst 1+ below has significant pan-industrial potential... -
The solution structure of the OmpF¿Colicin N complex in neutral detergent by ...
Gram negative bacteria cause a wide range of diseases. Colicins are protein toxins capable of penetrating the outer membrane barrier and killing the bacteria. Thus they... -
Centrifugal Force Spun Fibres
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... -
Hydration effects in gels for water splitting.
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... -
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... -
Unlocking Structure-Property Relationships in Composite Semiconducting Nanopa...
Colloidal dispersions of organic semiconducting nanoparticles (NPs) have shown promise for the generation of active layers in organic solar cells.Composite NPs containing a... -
