Polymer chain conformations in solutions for electrospinning
This proposal is part of a research programme which is focused on nano-fibres prepared by electrospinning. The programme is centered on developing an understanding of the... -
Understanding the properties of nucleobase functionalized nanostructures
We have recently prepared a number of new nucleobase functionalised polymers which undergo interesting and unexpected self-assembly. We hope to use SANS to explore further the... -
Formation of cellulose-starch gels: effect of cellulose source and surfactants
This proposal forms part of an ongoing project concerning interpenetrating network gels of starch and cellulose being developed towards applications in personal care and... -

Zwitterionic Polymers for Lipid Nanodisc Stabilisation
Polymer stabilized lipid nanodiscs offer enormous potential as tools for enabling membrane protein structural studies & biophysics. Previously we studied discs formed using... -
Encapsulation of hydrophobic species in mixed micelles in polymer solutions
This proposal continues our investigations into film-forming polyelectrolyte-surfactant solutions. We have found that mixed micelle systems offer greater control over micelle... -
Do hydrotropes stabilize, or destabilize, micelles?
The aim is to investigate and understand interactions of hydrotropes (primitive amphiphiles) with a new range of industrially important non-ionic surfactants, alkyl-capped... -
Metallomicroemulsions - a new class of supramolecularly organised metal ions
Incorporation of d- or f-block metals into ligand systems that renders a metal complex surface active or drives its partitioning into surfactant phases enables the localisation... -
Inner structure of nanoparticles for agricultural applications
The development of new nanomaterials for agricultural and environmental applications is a topical field. To control loading of the bioactive agents and their subsequent release,... -
Tuning functionality and bulk behaviour of micelles with cyclodextrins
Beta-cyclodextrins (b-CD) are well tolerated in humans without toxic side effects and present in several injectable drug formulations, due to their ability to form host-guest... -
Controlling the morphology of fullerene-free polymer solar cells using additi...
We have recently demonstrated, using small angle neutron scattering in combination with other techniques, that in organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) the additive... -
