Chain conformations in aligned electrospun fibres
This proposal is part of a major research programme at Reading which is focused on nano-fibres prepared by electrospinning. The programme is focused on the electrospinning... -
Quantum dot ligand shell optimisation via solution processing and ligand exch...
Our research aims to develop plastic films that change the colour of the light that passes through them, not by absorbing certain wavelengths of light, as a simple colour filter... -
Effect of terminal blocking groups on solution aggregation of short peptide f...
Short peptide sequences such as KLVFFAE form well defined beta sheet structures. Their further templating through hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding is the principal... -
Packing of DNA in glioma nuclei
To answer the question how DNA is packed inside the interphase nucleus at the micron scale, we propose SESANS experiment using contrast variation technique from human glioma... -
Magnetic correlation length measurements in Fe/Si multilayers using spin echo...
We wish to investigate the magnetic structure of a series of magnetic multilayers using a new technique we have successfully implemented called Spin Echo Modulated Small Angle... -
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... -
SANS investigation of cross-linking in irradiated greases
Greases used in harsh radioactive environments are showing microstructural damages. These defects cause changes in the physical and chemical properties of materials, which in... -
Time of Flight MISANS
MISANS is the combination of Modulation of Intensity Emerging from Zero Effort (MIEZE) and Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS). SANS is used to determine the microscopic... -
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... -
Surface layers in organosols
This research project addresses an overlooked, but fundamental issue of colloid science: surfactant adsorption dynamics at nanoparticle-organosolvent interfaces. Adsorption of... -
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... -
HC-polymer 3D-network conjugated by hydrocarbon-fluorocarbon core/shell aggre...
For the last two decades, many polymers have been tested to increase CO2 viscosity for enhanced oil recovery. Unfortunately, HC-polymers were found to be inactive for the... -
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... -

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...
