Polysaccharide structures in HMWDOM and POM at the North Sea detected by carb...
Here, we traced the abundance of 27 polysaccharide epitopes in dissolved and particulate organic matter along a three month diatom bloom period in the North Sea. We used a... -
Compressibility and Tilting of Polyhedra within Sr2NiMoO6 at High Pressure
Ordered double perovskites (also known as elpasolites) have the general formula A2BBO6 where A is generally a rare earth metal or alkaline earth metal and where B and B are... -
Chain conformations in aligned electrospun fibres
This proposal is part of a major research programme at Reading which is focused on nano-fibres prepared by electrospinning. The programme is focused on the electrospinning... -

Pinning down pinholin: a structural mechanism to explain how peptide adsorpti...
We will use specular and off-specular neutron reflectivity to provide a structural mechanism for the way in which the amphipathic peptide pinholin controls bacterial cell lysis... -
Magnetic contrast reflectometry to resolve transmembrane potential effects on...
The division of bacteria is controlled by the binding of proteins to the inner of the two lipid bilayer membranes that separates the inside of the cell from the outside world.... -
Commissioning of a new continuously-loaded high-pressure piston-cylinder cell
We request two days on Engin-X to carry out commissioning tests on a pair of new piston-cylinder cells and their associated hydraulic press. Although intended primarily for use... -
Characterisation of Lithium-ion battery cathode material LiCoMnO4 as prepared...
LiCoMnO4 is a spinel material of great interest for possible applications in the next generation of lithium-ion batteries. LiCoMnO4 exhibits electrochemical activity at 5 volts,... -
Adsorption of hydrophobin at the oil/water interface
Following our previous study of adsorption of globular lysozyme and BSA, we continue to explore how another globular protein hydrophobin adsorbs at the oil/water interface by... -
Understanding the molecular origin of cononsolvency
The term cononsolvency has been used to describe a situation in which a polymer is less soluble in a mixture of two cosolvents than it is in either one of the pure solvents. If... -
Hydrated Surface Confinement Using Tethered Lipid Membranes Under Applied Ele...
Understanding the forces acting on macromolecular structures at surfaces is vital to a number of different branches of science and engineering, ranging from bio-fouling to... -
Magnetic study of the new skyrmion-carrying material CoZnMn
Nanoscale magnetic skyrmions are swirl-like magnetisation entities that satisfy topological quantisation conditions. They can therefore not be easily unwound into another... -
Salt Effects on Self-assembly of Polyoxometallate Surfactants in Aqueous Solu...
This proposal continues our work on polyoxometallates (POM)-headed surfactants. POMs are well defined transition metal clusters with a range of interesting catalytic, magnetic... -
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... -
Protein-Ionic liquid interactions: A window into future sustainable processin...
Processing of complex biopolymers, particularly proteins such as keratin and silk, has been hindered by the extremely low solubility and thus accessibility to the protein... -
Structural Studies of Mixed Monolayers of Sulfobetaines with Phospholipids
Sulfobetaines are zwitterionic surfactants where the headgroup charges are arranged in the opposite manner to those found in phosphotidylcholine lipid headgroups. Sulfobetaines... -
An In-Situ Study of the Formation of Amyloid Fibrils at Polymer Surfaces Usin...
We propose to study the formation of lateral features during insulin amyloid formation on polymer substrates using off-specular neutron reflectivity. This will be done by... -
Investigation of short range magnetic correlations in CeIr3Si2 using SR
CeIr3Si2 reveals highly anisotropic bulk properties with two magnetic transitions at TN1 ~ 3.9 K and TN2 ~ 3.1 K. The overall crystal electric field (CEF) splitting of the J=5/2... -
Temperature dependence of spin dynamics near quantum criticality in an Ising ...
This proposal is part of our research programme to explore the interplay of thermal and quantum fluctuations near zero-temperature quantum phase transitions. Here we apply for a... -
Interaction of a cationic surfactant with rigid oligoanions
The interaction of small polyelectrolytes or oligoions with surfactants appears to follow a model that we have recently established for large polyelectrolytes but the smaller...
