Self-assembly in ethyl ester sulfonate surfactants in the presence of electro...
The methyl ester sulfonate. MES, and ethyl ester sulfonate, EES, are representative of a promising group of anionic surfactants which have the potential for improved performance... -
Amino-Acid Based Surfactant Monolayers on a Range of Subphases
Amino acid based surfactants have been known for many years but so far few detailed studies have been carried out on their properties. We are using amino acids extracted from... -
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... -
Mixed Amino-Acid Based Surfactant Monolayers
Amino acid based surfactants have been known for many years but so far few detailed studies have been carried out on their properties. We are using amino acids extracted from... -
Effect of polar solvent on the structure of monolayers of phospholipid
It is the aim of the proposal is to perform neutron reflectivity (NR) studies combined with contrast variation to determine the structure of phospholipid monolayers on a... -
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.... -
Surfactant mixing at hydrophilic solid/liquid interfaces: (A) air/water measu...
The overall objective is to model the amount and composition of adsorbed mixtures of three types of zwitterionic surfactant and two charged surfactants at the silica/water... -

The possibility of strongly ferromagnetic austenite in a stainless steel
It is generally accepted that austenitic steels (fcc) show no ferromagnetic signature. However, thermomagnetic measurements suggest an unexpected ferromagnetic transition (Tc =... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -

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... -
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... -
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... -
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...
