Acyl L-Carnitines are a group of novel surfactants with attractive physical and biological properties associated with their head group charge features. This work proposes to use...

The parent compound LaMnO3 of the hole-doped colossal magnetoresistance materials La1-xAxMnO3 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba etc.) has attracted much interest from condensed matter scientists....

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...

Understanding the transport and adsorption dynamics of nanogels at interfaces as a function of structural morphology are of great importance to further their development and...

The intermetallic family R5T4 (R = rare earth, T = Si or Ge) exhibit a wide range of magnetic phenomena (eg., magnetic order, GMR, and enhanced magnetocaloric effect) which are...

In recent years we have had considerable success with the surface modification of amorphous and crystalline thermal plastic polymers using multi-end functional additives. In...

Molten chocolate is a dense suspension of solids (mainly sugar) in oil, to which surfactants have been added to improve the flow properties, either during manufacture or in the...

Neutron scattering and in particular SESANS is able to give us excellent ensemble averaging of the optical properties of materials which exhibit structural colour. We plan to...

The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects cloud droplet size and optical properties, important climatic...

Nanoscale magnetic skyrmions are swirl-like magnetisation entities that satisfy topological quantisation conditions. They can therefore not be easily unwound into another...

Structural colour arises not from dyes or pigments, but from light scattering off of the inner geometry of the material itself. This offers greater stability than standard...
