Exchange kinetics of telechelic Cn-PEO-Cn micelles: effect of conformation an...
The microscopic dynamics of associative polymers that self-assemble into micellar structures play a key role for their macroscopical properties, with important implications for... -
Determination of the structure of methoxy on eta-alumina
We have recently demonstrated that we are able to obtain structural information about adsorbed hydrogenous species from a variety of metal catalysts. We emphasise that this is a... -
Molecular Collapse and Conformation of Low Molecular Mass Polyacrylic Acid an...
There is conflicting information about properties of polycrylic acid and its behaviour in aqueous solution. This proposal for an investigation by SANS that is directed at... -
Adsorption of fatty acids at the calcite-liquid interface
The interface of CaCO3 (calcite) and water is of paramount importance in a number of key academic and industrial areas, including scale deposition in domestic and industrial... -
Proton transfer in croconic acid
Croconic acid has recently emerged as the first example of an above room-temperature organic single component ferroelectric. Our goal is to determine its crystal structure at... -
Copy of: ATmospheric Oxidation of MIxed films studied by Neutron Reflectometr...
Quantifying amount, composition and fate of surface-active organic aerosols originating from cooking processes is a key atmospheric research activity. Our project aims to... -
The application of INS to investigate the methanol-to-gasoline reaction over ...
We propose to use MERLIN to measure INS from commercial zeolite catalyst samples extracted from a reactor in which they have been exposed to dimethylether for different lengths... -
API-DES: improving drug solubility with deep eutectic solvents
Improving the efficiency of existing drugs is currently one of the major goals of pharmaceutical industries. Rather than developing new drugs, which requires new clinical... -
Acid /amine complexation on an iron oxide /Oil interface
This experiment seeks to characterise the monolayer composition and structure of binary mixtures of fatty acid and amine. This represents a key additive system used commercially... -
Measurement of the neutron cross section of α-alanine and other amino acids f...
The solid state of L-alpha-alanine is routinely used as a dosimeter for X-ray, gamma, and electron radiations. Recently, in the framework of boron neutron capture therapy, it... -
Thermochromism in N-salicylideneanilines
N-salicylidineanilines are known to show thermochromic behaviour, which is currently postulated to arise from an intramolecular proton shift between the keto and enol form as... -
Diffuse scattering studies of squaric acid in an applied electric field
Organic ferroelectric compounds such as KH2PO4 and squaric acid, have attracted much interest in the past due to their potential in applications [1]. This interest has been... -
Copy of: Copy of: Dynammical studies of hydrogen sorption on pure and Pd coat...
Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is a wide band gap semiconductor that has a number of interesting applications especially its optoelectronic (blue and near UV light emitting properties, as a... -
Investigating Modulation in Molecular Materials:
Valuable information is lost when the focus is put only on the average unit cell and not the long-range order of the whole crystal. Determination of the long-range ordering can... -
A search for transverse phonons in DNA
We have begun an experimental program to investigate the denaturing of DNA, using scattering techniques, to test statistical mechanical models for the moelcule. It is believed... -
Study of carbon supports for catalysts used in the direct synthesis of hydrog...
We have recently shown that acid washing of a carbon support prior to metal (Au, Pd) deposition enhances the activity of the resulting catalysts for the direct synthesis of... -
Phonon Dispersion in the Organic Ferroelectric Croconic Acid
Organic ferroelectrics are important materials because of their technological applications in low-cost non-volatile memory elements. Single-crystal croconic acid (C5O5H2) is the... -
A GENERAL METHOD OF MEASURING ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY
Antioxidants are very important molecules because they can prevent or slow down the oxidative damage to our bodies. When our bodies use oxygen, free radicals are released which... -
