The structure of methanol in halloysite nanotubes
Understanding the structure of liquids in nanopores and at interfaces is extremely important in many natural and industrial processes. In this experiment, we will use the unique... -
The structure of polar aprotic solvents in cylindrical nanopores
The aim of this experiment is to understand the structure of two widely used polar organic solvents, N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) and N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), in cylindrical... -
Hydrocarbon Fluid Structures in Nanoconfinement
Shale or tight oil is trapped in nano-porous rocks and is expected to play a key role in the energy supply in the future. Due to confinement, trapped fluids exhibit changes in... -
Metal Ion Solubility in Deep Eutectic Solvents
Recent work on deep eutectic solvents (DES) has demonstrated that these novel H-bonded liquids can be used to modify nanomaterial morphologies under mild conditions in... -
Resolving the enigma of self-assembled meso-structures in an H-bonding rich m...
In a recent successful LOQ experiment (RB 1810629), we have unexpectedly observed possible multilayer stacking of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS; ~2wt%) bilayers in glycerol... -
When like-charged ions attract: How OH-defects influence the size and distrib...
This study will probe the liquid nanostructures of mixtures of two ionic liquids, 4-(hydroxybutyl)-pyridinium-bis(trifluorosulfonyl)-imide ([HOC4Py]NTf2) and... -
Effects of Chiral Components on the Structure of Deep Eutectic Solvents
Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are novel liquids composed of inexpensive components, and are non-flammable, with a low volatility. One problem with DES is frequently their...
