Incorporation of d- or f-block metals into ligand systems that renders a metal complex surface active or drives its partitioning into surfactant phases enables the localisation...

The MES is representative of a promising group of anionic surfactants which have the potential for improved performance and biocompatibility / biosustainability, and their...

Building from work previously carried out at ISIS (RB1410544) and pulished open-access in Chem. Commun. 2016, 25, 7344, we propose a SANS experiment to investigate the structure...

We propose to use the new SANS2d to study the dynamic structural evolution in the couse of the formation of DNA-cationic polymer complexes. The dynamic process and the mixing...

Low molecular weight gelators (LMWG) form hydrogels via self-assembly in water under specific conditions to form long, fibrillar structures. Non-covalent forces interactions...

We have been studying the solution interactions leading to formation of solid polymer-surfactant films at the air-solution interface. We want to use the mesostructures in the...

Very recently (April) we undertook a SANS experiment (RB1110147) to probe the partitioning of metal-acac ligand complexes in complex microemulsion media. Our aim was to design a...

The aim of this experiment is to investigate the change in conformation of a chiral polymer dissolved in hexafluoroisopropanol as the temperature of the system is varied....

This proposal is part of a broad programme of collaborative research between RAL / Oxford and Unilever, using predominantly scattering techniques to investigate the nature of...

There are specific models about the influence of shear on mixtures that are distinctive from dspersions of unifom particles. Understanding the flow behaviour of mixtures of...

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are molecular mixtures with melting points below room temperature. DES share many features of ionic liquids (low vapour pressure, adjustable...

Nanoparticles made of polymers containing fluorine have promising applications since magnetic resonance imaging using fluorinated contrast agents (19F MRI) enables enhanced...

The aim of this proposal is to determine the thickness of a water layer surrounding colloidal particles dispersed in oil with changes in ionic strength. Recent work by our group...

Latex is made from tiny polymer particles in water. Latex films are used in paints and to manufacture adhesives & inks. Latex is good for the environment, as it does not...

Proteasome plays an important role in the processing of antigenenic proteins for presentation by the MHC class I pathway. PA28 is an activator of the 20S proteasome, a large...

We intend to study the phase behaviour of 2 cationic polythiophenes, P3MAHT and P3ImiHT, inthe presence of the perfluorinated surfactant (C8 chain) PFOS and its hydrogenated...

Lipopeptide surfactants are highly effective at reducing interfacial tension. However, there is a general lack of understanding of the relationship between their molecular...

Janus particles, bearing two distinct compositions on the surface of the same particle, have attracted much attention recently as a way to finely tune morphology and...

Aggregates of the cationic conjugated polyelectrolyte (CPE) HTMA-PFP with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) will be studied in aqueous solutions using SANS. Previous fluorescence,...

It is now well established that the addition of the trivalent counterion, Al3+, induces surface multilayer formation in a range of anionic surfactants, including SLES, MES and...
