Understanding the structure of sunscreen formulations: where does the active ...
The negative effects of exposure to ultraviolet rays, 290-400 nm, are well known. Long exposures to these rays often cause skin damage (e.g. skin burns, melanoma). Topical... -
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... -
Rod reversed micelles with mixtures of optimized surfactants and hydrotropes
Contrast variation SANS will be used to study structures of reversed micelles in cyclohexane, and in particular to reveal effects of hydrotrope addition for promotion and growth... -
Self-assembly of methyl ester sulfonate(MES) and sulfobetaine surfactant mixt...
The MES is representative of a promising group of anionic surfactants which have the potential for improved performance and biocompatibility / biosustainability, and their... -
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... -
Nanostructure definition in electrospun fibres of polymer blends
This proposal is part of a research programme which is focused on nano-fibres prepared by electrospinning. The programme is centered on the spinning... -
The impact of synthetic perfumes on surfactant self-assembly.
This proposal is part of a broad collaboration between Oxford, CCLRC, and Unilever in the study of surfactants and mixed surfactants at interfaces and in solution. This is an... -
Interaction of Lignosulphonates with model surfactant systems by Small Angle ...
With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce reliance on palm and crude oil derived materials, it is vital that the Home and Personal Care industry... -
Fundamentals of molecular self-assembly in deep eutectic solvents (DES)
Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are considered promising green solvents for future industrial formulations due to their biocompatibility, low cost, green production, and... -
SANS study of the interaction of model plant leaf waxes with non-ionic surfac...
The understanding of the plant wax-surfactant interaction process is crucial to the development of more effective pesticide and fungicide formulations, essential for improving... -
Solubilization properties of block copolymer micelles and their micellar inte...
Combination of ionic copolymer micelles with oppositely charged polyelectrolytes leads to the formation of interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPECs). The aggregate has an onion-... -
Zwitterion doped PEDOT:PSS bulk morphology modification as a function of dopi...
We propose to use SANS to study the intra-particle information (size, shape, interactions) of pristine and zwitterion doped PEDOT:PSS in order to have a better understanding of... -

Impact of particle properties on the structure of supramolecular hydrogels
For biomaterial applications, it is important that the properties of self-assembled hydrogels are well controlled and match the requirements of the application. The influence of... -
Micelle Formation in Lanthanide-Based DES
Deep eutectic solvents (DES) share many features with ionic liquids (ie. tunable physicochemical properties) which makes them viable green solvents that are less toxic than... -
Creep Cavitation in Stainless Steel Weldments
Reheat cracking is a creep failure mode that has been observed in welded structures operating at high temperatures in the power generation industry. The failure results from the... -
Investigation of cement pore structure evolution in underground repository co...
It is proposed that radioactive waste generated in the Netherlands be buried underground in Boom clay formations. As this will need to be stored for hundreds of thousands of... -
Novel materials for heat storage application: a small-angle neutron scatterin...
Large quantities of thermal energy can be stored reversibly in composite materials containing SrCl2 and Expanded Natural Graphite (ENG) upon exo-/endothermal ab-/desorption of... -
Rhamnolipids and Amphotericin B: a potential highly specific delivery system ...
Rhamnolipids are a type of glycolipid biosurfactant, produced as secondary metabolites by various Pseudomonas and Burkholderia species; they have been shown to possess... -
Contrast Variation Experiments for Probing the Structure of Pickering Nanoemu...
Polymerisation-induced self-assembly is an efficient and versatile method of producing functional block copolymer spheres, worms and vesicles in a range of media (e.g. water,...
