Dynamic P3HT Nanowire Growth in Solution (Sans2d)
We propose to use SANS to probe the self organised formation of P3HT nanowires in a solution of deuterated chlorobenzene over a 48 hr period in order to better understand the... -
Co-surfactancy of oil-soluble and water-soluble surfactants in emulsion stabi...
The structures of emulsions formed from mixed oil-soluble and water-soluble amphiphiles (respectively derivatives of polyisobutylene, PIBSA, and polyacrylamide, PAM) will be... -
Telechelic Polymer - Homopolymer Blends
We have recently embarked on a new 1 year project funded by Michelin to explore the self-associatation and mechanical properties of telechelic rubbery materials. Such materials... -
In situ SANS study of a protein- graphene oxide (GO) co-assembly system
Supramolecular chemistry offers an exciting opportunity to assemble materials with molecular precision. However, there remains an unmet need to turn molecular self-assembly into... -
Structural changes of novel water-soluble organometallic gels
The aim of this proposal is to study the internal structure of novel organometallic polymers based on two metal-containing moieties -Ru, Au (or Ag)- bridged through a tridentate... -
Controlling Biosurfactant self assembly in solution.
Biosurfactants are becoming more commonplace in pharmaceuticals, vaccines and other forms of medicines. With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce... -
Effect of formulation method and lipid composition on liposome lamellarity
Liposomes are vesicles comprising a phospholipid membrane bilayer around an aqueous core. They are well-established in the fields of drug delivery and diagnostics. To translate...
