Adsorption of an Anionic Surfactant on Anionic Surfaces in the Presence of Ca...
In this proposal we request beamtime on the Inter reflectometer to study the unexpected adsorption behaviour of the surfactant bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate caesium salt... -
Polystrene chain conformations in good solvents and electrospun fibres
This proposal is centered on the preparation of nanoscale fibres prepared by electrospinning and is the focus of the final year PhD programme of Saeed Mohan. These experiments... -
Structure of hot dense liquid carbon dioxide
We propose to study the structure of liquid CO2 by neutron diffraction under high pressure and high temperatures to 6 GPa / 800 K. Carbon dioxide belongs to the most fundamental... -
Hydrogen interactions in framework materials : part deux
Hydrogen binding to coordinatively unsaturated metal sites (CUMCs) in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been extensively studied in our group using neutron powder diffraction... -
Protein interactions at solid-liquid interfaces: The effect of affinity colum...
Biopharmaceuticals are manufactured using chromatographic procedures including adsorption and desorption processes at the solid-liquid interface. These events take place in... -
High Pressure Neutron Diffraction of Croconic Acid
Croconic acid (Cacid) possesses a well-defined hysteresis in polarization at room temp and the highest spontaneous polarization observed in organic ferroelectrics to date. The... -
Direct Observation of Gram Negative Bacterial Membrane Disruption by Supramol...
Cyclic peptides with alternating side chain stereochemistry are capable of self-assembling into long nanotubes. The conjugation of polymers to these peptides renders the... -
How N-acyl amino acid surfactants adsorption at the air/water interface helps...
N-acyl amino acids are promising anionic amphiphilic molecules, which consist of a linear aliphatic chain (hydrophobic tail) and an amino-acid residue (polar head). Although... -
Detailed Structural Characterisation of Functional Spinel Materials
We propose to use neutron scattering to examine the complex structures of some new mixed oxide materials that have applications in catalysis and for their magnetic properties.... -
The formation of hybrid organo-metallic perovskites by inverse temperature cr...
Hybrid lead perovskites have received much attention over the past decade since they have potential applications in optoelectronic devices and solar cells. Although most devices... -
Exploring local structure in hydrated LiRAPs using pair distribution function...
Many of the devices currently used for energy storage (e.g., batteries, solar cells) use liquid electrolytes that are known to pose a serious fire and safety risk. In recent... -
Investigation on the structural properties of doxorubicin-loaded PEGylated li...
Doxil® is a marketed liposomal formulation containing the anticancer drug doxorubicin. Recently, SAXS measurements have evidenced a crystalline fibrillar structure for the...
