SANS Practical for Neutron Training Course
2 days are required on Loq for the 2013 Neutron Training Course -
Nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) impact on soil microbial communities
The use of nanoparticles for environmental remediation is an emerging technology. Pioneering the field is the use of nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) to cleanup ground waters... -
Conformational changes of human growth hormone driven by the interaction with...
The tale of protein-surfactant interactions has been the goal of many scientific investigations in the last few decades. The interaction between proteins and amphiphiles in... -
Micellar aggregates of direct and reverse Tetronics for enhanced drug solubil...
Amphiphilic linear surfactants based on PEO and PPO triblock copolymers, known as Pluronics, exhibit a rich polymorphism and have been extensively studied for their applications... -
An experimental test of the contribution of Mrozowski Cracks to the SANS from...
The life-limiting feature of AGR power reactors is probably radiation damage to the graphite moderators. This proposal (part of a collaborative EPSRC programme - Fundamentals of... -
Surfactant-Controlled Assembly of Amphiphilic Diblock Polythiophenes
Conjugated polythiophenes (PTs) have emerged as a promising class of material in organic solar cells. The device performance depends on the inherently-linked optoelectronic... -
Membrane perturbation and permeabilization by the lysosomotropic detergent MSDH
Lysosomes are subcellular organelles with acidic interiors (pH 3.5-5), containing enzymes that break down macromolecules and intracellular waste. Controlled release of lysosomal... -
Investigating the Influence of Polymer Properties on Cyclic Peptide-Polymer C...
Cyclic peptides with alternating side chain stereochemistry are capable of self-assembling into long nanotubes (CPNTs). The conjugation of polymers to these peptides renders the... -
Probing the Kinetics of Assembly and Triggered Dispersion of Peptide-Function...
Peptide-functionalized nanoparticle (NP) aggregates have significant potential as biosensors (for specific enzymes) due to their high sensitivity, modular design and simple... -
SANS Contrast Matching Studies of Radiation-grafted Anion-exchange Membranes
We request two days beam time on SANS2D for the study of radiation-grafted anion-exchange membranes, both dry and hydrated under different ratios of D2O/H2O. These materials... -
Exchange kinetics of complex coacervates core micelles
Coacervates have been studied for a long time for their unusual properties: they are dense networks of charged polymers that are soluble in water. Instead of flocculating when... -
Phase behaviour in Polymer-Photovoltaic Blends
In polymer-fullerene based photovoltaic systems the phase behaviour of the blends is poorly understood and remains a fundamental stumbling block to improvements in device... -
Constructing analogues of gemini and oligomeric surfactants through noncovale...
Gemini-like and oligomeric-like surfactants can be constructed by single-chain or gemini surfacants with connecting molecules through noncovalent binding without complicated... -
SANS Contrast Matching Studies of Radiation-grafted Anion-exchange Membranes
We request two days beam time on SANS2D for the study of radiation-grafted anion-exchange membranes, both dry and hydrated under different ratios of D2O/H2O. These materials... -
Non-destructive investigation of pottery finds from Vörs-Máriaasszonysziget
The present application focuses on the determination of possible differences in pottery production methods during the Neolithic Period . Samples of coarse grain temper (organic... -
Simultaneous SANS and modulated SESANS for studies of surfactant templating o...
In the previous round we trialled use of the new techniques enabled on Larmor which permit simultaneous measurements of nanoscale and macroscale structure. These experiments... -

Competitive and synergistic interactions in gel formation
The interactions of small molecules with Pluronic copolymers are of relevance to their numerous pharmaceutical, domestic, technological and industrial applications. Whereas the... -
Structural study on the 3D arrangement of (hexa-acyl) lipid A in lipid membrane
Lipopolysaccharides are amphiphilic macromolecules indispensable for the growth and the survival of Gram-negative bacteria, one of the most diffuse classes of pathogenic... -
Water-based gels of half N-acetylated chitosans; potential pharmaceutical exc...
These experiments are part of a much broader programme at the University of Reading. focused on the use of water-soluble half-acetylated chitosan as a mucoadhesive polymer,...
