Ligand conformation at semiconductor nanoparticle surfaces for high-efficienc...
The efficiency of silicon solar cells is limited to 29%. One possible way of breaking this limit uses a process called singlet fission, converting a high energy photon into two... -
Self-assembly of lipid and triblock copolymer-based amphiphiles for drug deli...
Soft self-assembled structures have been extensively used as drug nanocarriers. Their building blocks, naturally occurring and synthetic amphiphiles (lipids or block... -
Probing the bulk morphology of fullerene-free organic solar cell blends using...
The aim of this project is to develop an understanding of the relationships between the processing, nanoscale structure and device performance of bulk heterojunction,... -
Probing bulk heterojunction (BHJ) thin films with graded morphologies using SANS
This projects aims to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between processing conditions, active layer morphology and device performance in polymer solar... -
Structure of Multicomponent Gelators: Effect of Dynamic Covalent Chemistry
Supramolecular gels form via the self-assembly of low molecular weight gelators (LMWGs) into complex, hierarchical structures. Here we propose a SANS study of our multicomponent... -

Structure of hyaluronic acid solutions from dilute to concentrated regime
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a biopolymer naturally occurring in many biological systems, including the human body with vital roles in the eye, skin and joints due to its unique... -
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... -
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... -
Unlocking the Lyotropic Liquid Crystal Phases of Novel Photosurfactants
Photosurfactants (PS) demonstrate the combined ability to change their shape upon irradiation with light and self-organise into polymolecular assemblies. However, the phase... -
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... -
SANS study of the effect of thermal annealing on the morphology of bulk heter...
This projects aims to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between processing conditions, active layer morphology and device performance in polymer solar... -
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... -
