Self-Assembly of Surfactant Mesophases during the Solution Casting of PVA Films
While the surface and bulk properties of large polymers in solution is well-studied, the converse case of small molecule migration and segregation in polymers has received... -
Examining the Structural Changes of a Central Nervous System Neurotransmitter...
GluR0 is a glutamate sensitive potassium ion channel from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis which has been identified via primary structural sequencing to be similar to... -
Controlling the morphology of bulk heterojunction (BHJ) films using mixtures ...
Through a combination of small angle neutron scattering, ion-beam analysis and ellipsometry we have recently demonstrated that in organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) the... -
SANS study of lipid-based nanocarriers as inhaled drug delivery systems for a...
The present project aims to achieve a more detailed structural characterization by SANS of Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLN) and liposomes in a perspective of an inhaled anti... -
Dynamics of Self-Assembled Perfluoroalkyl Block Copolymers in Solutions Using...
Block copolymers are composed of two or more chemically different polymer chains covalently linked together, and are capable of forming self-assembled nanoparticles in a... -
Micelle Templating in Deep Eutectic Solvents: Ion-micelle interactions
Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are mixtures of organic salts and hydrogen bond donors, that form strongly hydrogen-bonded room temperature liquids. DES share many features with... -
Short peptide self-assembly and pesticide solubilisation in binary surfactant...

Contrast variation SANS to understand drug directed assembly of multi lamella...
Recurring infection following dental interventions such as fillings is the most common reason for failure, leading to further treatments including root canal therapy, where the... -
quantitative dark field imaging using Larmor labelling
We will determine whether a neutron technique called dark field Lamor imaging can provide quantitative information about the spatial distribution of small inhomogeneities in... -
Structure-performance relationships of chemical demulsifiers
The project is to understand fundamental structure-performance relationships of chemical demulsifiers in water-in-crude oil (w/o) systems. In particular, to understand how... -
Emulsification of Fire-fighting surfactants
The aim is to understand how the addition of a common hydrogenated/ deuterated oil affects the size of the self-assembled structure of three common industrial fluorocarbon (FC)... -
Precipitate evolution in cold rolled Ti-V high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel
HSLA steels have been widely used in automotive industry to reduce fuel consumption due to its high strength and good weldability. These properties are achieved by nano-size... -
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... -
A SANS Study of Hierarchical Order in DNA Complexes with Trojan Peptides
We will use SANS to investigate the nanoscopic structure i.e., sizes in the range 2-200 nm of complexes formed by cell-penetrating peptides and nucleic acid species. The... -
Internal structure of chitosan and modified chitosan nanoparticles for transm...
Mucus is a viscoelastic gel present on various moist surfaces of human body including gastrointestinal tract, eyes, respiratory system, bladder and vagina. Administration of... -
Exploring CO2-philic/ CO2-phobic amphiphiles, cross-linkers and HC-polymers f...
Over the last two decades, many polymers have been tested to increase CO2 viscosity for applications in enhanced oil recovery using CO2 (CO2-EOR). Unfortunately, conventional... -
Temperature-dependent structural behaviour of the collapse transition of high...
We shall use small angle neutron scattering to investigate the structural behaviour of the temperature sensitive highly branched poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) [PNIPAM]. These... -
Magnetic study of the new skyrmion-carrying material CoZnMn
Nanoscale magnetic skyrmions are swirl-like magnetisation entities that satisfy topological quantisation conditions. They can therefore not be easily unwound into another... -
Salt Effects on Self-assembly of Polyoxometallate Surfactants in Aqueous Solu...
This proposal continues our work on polyoxometallates (POM)-headed surfactants. POMs are well defined transition metal clusters with a range of interesting catalytic, magnetic... -
Investigating Morphology and Phase Separation in Low-Donor Organic Solar Cell...
Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are a class of solar cells that harvest photogenerated excitations ('excitons') and split them into free charges to generate electrical power. A...
