Organisms which live in the presence of large quantities of salt are known as halophilic (meaningsalt-loving). Halophilic proteins are of great interest due to their ability to...

We will exploit the unique capability of Nimrod in the study of the long standing issue of polymer crystallisation. We focus on isotactic polypropylene which has been quenched...

Sodium ion batteries (NIB) are promising alternatives to the current lithium ion batteries: sodium is cheap, sustainable, and has similar properties to lithium. Search for an...

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...

Graphene oxide is an important starting material for developing chemically modified graphene for use in a variety of important technical applications that include energy-related...

Manipulating nanoparticles in liquids is crucial for their scalable implementation in future technologies. For example, such liquids can be used like paint to create uniform...

Our recent work demonstrates that the details of solvent structure around micelles are accessible using Empirical Potential Structure Refinement methods combined with neutron...

Synthetic Georgite has shown high catalytic activity for a number of catalytic processes including methanol synthesis and the water gas shift reaction. Consequently, it is of...

The formation of water containing crystal forms, so-called hydrates, is a real problem for the pharmaceutical industry. Hydrates show thermodynamically the lowest solubility in...

We propose to study the influence of deposition rates and annealing effects on microporous amorphous solid water samples (ASW) using NIMROD. The data will allow us to monitor...

Carbon nitrides are emerging as an important class of materials with applications that range from Li+ ion and electronic charge storage in batteries and supercapacitors,...

Liquid phase exfoliation of graphite is a scalable method for the production of graphene with an inbuilt medium for the manipulation of the graphene into applications. Much like...

Graphene oxide is a heavily functionalised form of grapheme that is dispersible in water and other solvents. As water is added to pristine graphene oxide there is formation...

Fish oocytes and embryos are complex cryobiological objects for which, successful cryopreservation has still not been achieved. This circumstance seriously restricts the...

Carbon materials with nanopore structures are of great importance for development of energy storage and gas adsorption devices. The critical parameter is pore size and it is...

Co-solvency is a phenomenon where a small quantity of co-solvent is added to a bulk solvent to enhance the solubility of a desired solute in the mixture. Correspondingly, there...

Asphaltenes are a complex and problematic fraction of crude oil that can precipitate, alter wettability and stabilise unwanted oil-in-water emulsions. Asphaltene molecules are...

Asphaltenes are the heaviest end of crude oil and are responsible for a multitude of engineering challenges. They can precipitate from the oil, depositing, blocking pipelines...

This experiment is focused on the use of the unique capability of Nimrod to study the crystallisation of polymers from solution. We wish to obtain high quality time-resolved...

We propose to perform a NDIS experiments at the SANDALS diffractometer at T = 300 K on 7 aqueous solutions of NMA and trehalose and NMA and glucose, aimed at investigating the...
