Neutron Reflectometry of Tethered Microphase Separated Block Copolymers
Neutron reflectometry will be used to probe the scattering length density profile in tethered films of block copolymers grafted onto silicon substrates. The tethered... -
Galvanostatic Dissolution of Multilayer Metal Systems in DES Studed using Eve...
Here we propose a study that will contribute to the final challenges of PhD training programme (Emma Palin). We will study the electrochemical dissolution of a bi-metallic films... -
A sustainability study of the galvanic deposition of silver from novel deep e...
The immersion deposition of silver onto copper and brass from deep eutectic solvents (DES) is a novel method for protecting the surface of printed circuit boards. Background... -
Probing the electroactive interface of ionic liquids and their solutions
We propose a detailed study of the interfacial structuring of a non-halogenated, and tribologically relevant, ionic liquid (IL) at an electrified interface, as a function of... -
In Situ Measurement of the Spin Seebeck Effect
The spin Seebeck effect is a newly discovered phenomenon that if harnessed, could result in a significant improvement of the efficiency of thermoelectric energy generators. Spin... -
The Kinetics of Self-Exchange of a Protein at Solid/Liquid interfaces
The formation of a protein corona occurs on all surfaces exposed to biological systems and understanding of how this corona forms is vital for many aspects of medicine and for... -
Magnetic contrast NR to resolve MscL opening under PXG challenge: influence o...
In bacteria, mechanosensitive ion channels such as MscL protect cells against osmotic shock, but, as with all ion channels, they have the potential to act as an Achilles heel,... -
Does ozone initiate damage to the main pulmonary surfactant lipid, DPPC, or c...
Exposure to ozone gas can cause inflammation of the airways and breathing difficulties. The initial reaction of ozone is thought to be predominantly with lipids present in the... -
Floating Lipid Bilayers Created by Vesicle Fusion
'Floating LSupported Bilayers' (FSB's) have become the 'standard' systems used for studying membrane systems using reflectivity at ISIS and other facilities. They are reliable,... -
pH-control of swelling and charge neutralization of thin hydrogel films
Hydrogels are widely used in biomaterials science, much due to excellent protein resistance, and physicochemical properties similar to biological tissue. Charge neutrality is... -
An investigation on the adsorption of reverse pluronic and additives on metal...
PPO-PEO-PPO copolymer-based lubricant with extreme pressure or friction modifier additives has been introduced as boundary lubricant in metal forming. The Pluronic reverse... -
Surfactant Segregation in Plasticised PVA
PVA film is widely used as a non-toxic water soluble polymer. This proposal relates to its use in unit dose detergent pouches where plasticised PVA film stores a concentrated... -
Structural modelling of meibomian lipid films
Meibomian lipids spread on the surface of tears to enable formation of a stable film. Our data show that meibum forms duplex films that have physical properties not emulated by... -
The hydration and ordering of lamellar block copolymer films prior to the for...
The key to the use of polymer vesicles as effective molecular delivery systems is in the ability to efficiently encapsulate a molecular payload within the vesicle. We would like... -
Structural characterisation of vaccine-adjuvant interactions using neutron re...

Competitive and cooperative adsorption of lysozyme and human serum albumin
All solid surfaces in contact with biological systems form a protein corona and the nature of this corona determines the further response of the biosystem to that solid surface... -
Interactions of modified clupeines with Gram-negative model bilayers
Clupeine is isolated from herring and is an example of a protamine, which are cationic antimicrobial peptides occurring in the sperm cells of some fish. Protamines are active... -
Interaction of thermo-responsive deutrated nanogels with lipid monolayer at t...
Drug delivery through skin is an important delivery route. However, the outermost layer of the skin provides a formidable barrier to dermal absorption and penetration for... -
Aquatic Methane Adsorption and Desorption on Minerals
In this project we propose to study the adsorption of methane onto a model mineral surface. This type of study is crucial to the understanding of the temperature dependence of... -
Neutron Reflectivity study of lipopolysaccharide complexes with lateral domai...
We propose to investigate the role of lateral phase separation on LPS insertion into model membranes and the effects of target membrane structure and composition. A comparison...
