New technological advances require new types of materials. For example, currently there is no economical technology for capturing carbon dioxide released from power plants. We...

Glasses used as glazes for ceramic bodies will be studied as a function of their composition, with emphasis on two elements, such as Ca and Zn, that show the largest influence...

Low bioavailability is a major problem in drug formulation development; low aqueous solubility of an active pharmaceutical ingredient can stall development of a potentially...

It is undeniable that hydrogen bonding plays a fundamental role in all biological systems. Not only is hydrogen bonding between water and bio-molecules important, but the more...

In recent years, the long-standing belief that beyond the critical point, matter exhibits no clear transition between liquid-like and gas-like states has been questioned. A line...

We have studied the absorption of nitrogen gas in MCM41 on NIMROD at a pressure of 1 bar and at temperatures to 87K (A K Soper and D T Bowron, Chem. Phys. Lett., DOI:...

Crown ethers are cyclic molecules formed by joining ether groups into a ring. These compounds have many interesting solution properties, including their ability to bind strongly...

We propose to study the hydration of N-methylacetamide (NMA) at ambient conditions and at two concentrations, namely 1 NMA : 50 H2O and 1 NMA : 15 H2O, by applying the isotopic...

Liquids are commonly known to be incompressible. However, a recently invented class of materials called Porous Liquids, which exhibit permanent porosity in the liquid phase, are...

The aim of this proposed work is to complete our study of the behaviour of acetic acid/pyridine mixtures as a functionof composition, in order to fully characterise the changes...

Trimethylamine N-Oxide (TMAO) is thought to have the extraordinary ability of allowing organisms to adapt to extreme environments of high pressure, the most famous example being...

We request 5 days on NIMROD to characterise the pressure and temperature dependent properties of amorphous icy particles generated in liquid ethane, as they will be used in...

In earlier SANDALS investigations we have shown that protic ionic liquids (PILs) are nanostructured in the bulk, and how dissolved inorganic salts and small molecule solvents...

In recent experiments we accidentally observed the onset of nanophase segregation in concentrated LiCl-water solutions by increasing dilution, in the deeply undercooled regime....

An intriguing case of self assembly is the formation of supramolecular gels. Small organic "gelator" molecules in solution self assemble into a fibrous network which forms gels...

The structure of liquids in confined geometries is of significant interest to many diverse areas, for instance chemical catalysis (liquid-phase reactions inside porous...

The main aim of our proposal is investigation of thermally induced volume changes occurring in short range order of amorphous pseudo-binary Fe(Mn)-B alloys in the vicinity of...

The objective of this research is to understand the detailed structure of water-surfactant solutions as a function of concentration of salt. This is important as these materials...

We will investigate a series of aluminosilicate systems, zeolite chabazite, ZSM-5, Zeolite Y and Zeoltie A and determine the short and medium range order structures and the...

The acetone - chloroform system is the classic textbook example of a negative-pressure azeotrope, i.e. the vapour pressures of the binary mixtures are lower than expected for...
