Interfacial Adsorbtion from Nematic Mixtures
The aim is to determine the amount of absorbtion of the one component of a mixture at the nemtic/air interface using neutron reflection. The host material in the mixture will be... -
Multiscale time-resolving study of solid state crystallisation from the mesom...
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... -
The structure of clay swelling inhibitors TMA and TEA under oil-field conditions
Shale swelling is particularly problematic in the oil and gas exploration sector, as environmentally friendly water based muds are invariably used during drilling operations to... -
Nuclear and magnetic structural study of multiferroic BaFe2O4
BaFe2O4 is a new candidate to the family of magnetoelectric multiferroics, featuring ABW-type zeolite structure with Bb21m symmetry. The lack of space inversion opens the route...
