Modes of pi-stacking in neat and aqueous solutions of 1-naphthyl-3-methylimid...
The proposed work continues our investigations of the structure, aggregation, self-assembly and ion pairing of ionic liquids in the neat state, at interfaces, and in solutions.... -
Insight into the adsorbed water layer of hydration shells around iron oxide n...
With this proposal we want to study the (deuterated) hydration shell of facetted iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs). IONPwater interfaces are of great importance for biomedical... -
Nanostructure of a Three-Component Deep Eutectic Solvent
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are liquids formed from a mixture of salts and molecular species. DESs have remarkable solvent properties and are potentially "greener"... -
Towards Understanding Lignin Solubility in Protic Ionic Liquids
A current key road block to the economic viability of a biorefinery is the inability to cost effectively separate biomass into lignin and cellulose. It has recently been... -
Drug solvation in amphiphilic solutions: understanding how small molecules cr...
Understanding how drugs interact with physiologically relevant environments is crucial for the future of effective drug design. An important class of potential drugs are central... -
Multiscale time-resolving study of crystallisation in poly(e-caprolactone) ba...
We will exploit the unique capability of Nimrod in the study of the long standing issue of polymer crystallisation. We focus on polycaprolactone containing small quantities of... -
Probing Ion Binding to Micelles ¿ Investigating the Hofmeister Series
This proposal continues our research on ion binding to surfactant micelles. Our recent work demonstrates that the details of water structure around micelles are now accessible... -
A total scattering study of the concentration and temperature dependence of s...
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are ubiquitous in our portable electronics, however they are ill suited for applications where cost or sustainability are of paramount importance,... -
Structural studies on drugs and lipids in amphiphilic solutions
How drugs cross the formidable blood brain barrier in order to function is not well understood, specifically with respect to the interplay between hydrophobic and hydrophilic... -
Total scattering study of the interactions of ammonia borane adsorbed in MCM-41
We ask for 4 days on NIMROD to study the atomic- and intermediate-range order of ammonia-borane (AB) intercalated into mesoporous MCM-41. Ammonia borane is one of the leading... -
Modelling Protein-Protein Interactions and the Hofmeister Effect
Nimrod is a unique instrument that bridges atomic resolution solution scattering with small angle scattering. The opportunity therefore exists to probe both the microscopic... -
Local microstructure investigations of lignin-derived hard carbon
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... -

Unraveling the structural ordering of water in amorphous calcium carbonate us...
Calcium carbonates make up some of the most abundant minerals in the world. They are of great importance in geology and in the field of biomaterials as well as having several... -
Characterization of heterogeneous solvent structure in a carbon capture fluid
We propose to use neutron scattering experiments to gain molecular level insight into an intriguing liquid structure observed in a water-free CO2-capture solvent. Switchable... -
Solvation and structure of iron oxide in a choline chloride/oxalic acid deep ...
We aim to investigate the solvation of iron oxide and zinc oxide in an environmentally friendly deep eutectic solvent system in order to understand how to engineer these new... -
Neutron powder diffraction on graphene and metal-decorated graphene
Graphene is a very promising material and appears particularly suitable in order to develop efficient hydrogen storage systems, especially if it is ¿decorated¿ with proper metal... -
Glycerol Carbonate
Glycerol carbonate has potential to become one of the most important sustainable chemical intermediates of the future. It has imprtant uses as a solvent, as a chemical, and as a... -
Anhydrobiosis at the atomic scale: protein folding at low water content
Anhydrobiosis, the possibility of life in almost no water, is a puzzling phenomena common to a wide class of organisms, ranging from plant seeds to crustacean cysts, that can...
