Self assembly of thermoresponsive gels
Thermoresponsive gels are widely used for tissue engineering and drug delivery applications. They consist of a thermoresponsive polymer that self-assembles in a 3D network when... -
Structural studies of Staufen1 in complex with Upf1, a crucial assembly in ge...
Gene expression is regulated during both the synthesis and the decay of mRNAs. Various pathways of cytoplasmic mRNA decay exist. These include ARE-mediated decay, miRNA-Mediated... -
SANS study of synthesis of interpenetrating polymer networks in supercritical...
We use SANS to study synthesis of interpenetrating polymer network in supercritical CO2 in situ at sans2D. The initial system contains an inorganic polymer network, hydrophilic... -

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... -
Constructing analogues of Gemini and oligomeric surfactants using polyamines
Gemini or oligomeric surfactants, where two or more alkyl chains and headgroups are connected via spacer groups, have interesting and potentially important properties which make... -
Structural characterisation of a transmembrane biological electron conduit us...
Many bacteria are able to respire using solid minerals and metals as electron acceptors in the absence of oxygen or other diffusible substrates. In Shewanella oneidensis this... -
SANS from photoconductive hydrogel mixtures and their gelators.
Hydrogels are formed from a self?assembled network of fibres made up of small molecules (gelators) trap and hold water at just 1% by weight, or less, from the solution they are... -
Self-assembly of detergent molecules below ambient temperature: SANS to deter...
Although surfactant detergency is well understood above 30 C, actions of surfactants below 30 C are not well established. In the era of energy saving and environment caring, we... -
Structure and gelation in PVDF-based polymer systems for Li-ion battery appli...
Lithium ion batteries are the power source of choice for portable electrical devices owing to performance in terms of high specific capacity and reliability. Liquid electrolyte... -
On the structure and composition of non-lamellar lipid-based liquid crystalli...
Liquid crystalline particles consisting of glycerol dioleate (GDO) / soy phosphatidylcholine (SPC) mixture and stabilised by polysorbate 80 (P80) have proven to be suitable as... -
Contrast matching of selectively deuterated glycerides for scattering studies...
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) can be formed from glycerides and loaded with diverse cargo for healthcare applications. A key advantage of LNPs over liposomes is the significant... -
Unlocking Structure-Property Relationships in Composite Semiconducting Nanopa...
Colloidal dispersions of organic semiconducting nanoparticles (NPs) have shown promise for the generation of active layers in organic solar cells.Composite NPs containing a... -
Investigation of the solution structure and pore dynamics of Bacillus anthrac...
Understanding the nature of protein translocating events through bacterial pores offers an uniqueopportunity to develop novel drug delivery systems, whilst also providing... -
Membrane perturbation and permeabilization by the lysosomotropic detergent MSDH
Lysosomes are subcellular organelles with acidic interiors (pH 3.5-5), containing enzymes that break down macromolecules and intracellular waste. Controlled release of lysosomal... -
Probing the viability of water-in-CO2 microemulsions with Headgroup-free amph...
Recent SANS studies of an unusual headgroup-free surfactant (Nohead FC6-HC4) produced data that implied the formation of W/CO2 microemulsions (MEs) at a particular pressure (P)... -
Bacterial membrane disruption by layered double hydroxide particles
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have recently been identified as interesting drug delivery vehicles due to their ability to intercalate guest molecules. Additionally, LDHs... -
Using SANS to understand the structure and behaviour of surfactants in chocolate
Molten chocolate is a semi-solid suspension of (mostly) sugar, but also cocoa and milk solids in oil. In order to allow the sugar grains to flow past each other, either when the... -
Strain Effects in Filled Rubber Nanocomposites (Continuation)
Our overall aim is to understand the origins of energy dissipation mechanisms in filled rubbers. These effects are responsible for much of the carbon footprint associated with... -
Effect of serum and electrolyte on the structure of nanoemulsions intended fo...
Nanoemulsions (NE) i.e. nanoparticles containing a fluid lipid or oil dispersed in water and stabilized by a surfactant particles have attracted considerable attention as...
