Measurement of spin-gravity coupling by quantum interference
It is possible that there is a coupling between the spin and gravitation, for instance by an adaptation of the Hamiltonian with an additional termH=k/c (gvec.Svec) where gvec is... -
Electrostatic Interactions between Floating Bilayers and Thiol Coated Interfa...
Bilayers which float below a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) coated solid support represent one of the most advanced membrane mimetics. Recently (RB 1720155) we assessed the... -

Lateral Phase Behavior in bulk heterojunction films containing low-molecular ...
Grazing incidence small angle neutron scattering (GISANS) will be used to investigate the lateral phase behavior in thin films of blends of electron-donor... -
Influence of the polarity of plasticizer and degree of hydrolysis of Poly-Vin...
Migration of small molecules to, and across the surface of polymer matrices is a little-studied problem with important industrial applications. PVAc films are of industrial... -
Hydrogen kinetics in nano-layered metal hydrides for hydrogen sensing applica...
Accurate, safe and cheap hydrogen detectors functioning under a wide range of conditions are a vital ingredient for using hydrogen as an energy carrier. A novel, safe and cheap... -
Molecular Mechanistic Processes of Complexation between DNA and Cationic Copo...
It is difficult for the naked external gene to become internalized due to its similar charge to the extracellular membrane surface. Various cationic copolymers and cationic... -
Aggregation behaviour in solution of cationic conjugated polymers and oligomers
In the proposed experiments we extend previous work on characterization of aggregates formed by cationic conjugated polymers and oligomers in water. Particular emphasis will be... -
Probing bulk heterojunction (BHJ) thin films with graded morphologies using SANS
This projects aims to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between processing conditions, active layer morphology and device performance in polymer solar... -
Characterisation of novel, sequence specific protein/protein and protein/DNA ...
Gene (nucleic acid) delivery to the cytosol or nucleus of a cell is, without the aid of a suitable delivery system, an inefficient process. Here the interaction of a defined... -
Nanostructure definition in electrospun fibres of polymer blends
This proposal is part of a research programme which is focused on nano-fibres prepared by electrospinning. The programme is centered on the spinning... -
SANS to Monitor the Accessibility of Electrolytes into Aqueous Based Supercap...
Supercapacitors are devices capable of absorbing and delivering large amounts of energy over short time-scales. They are ideal for high-power/low-energy applications such as... -
Characterisation of the gamma prime precipitate distribution in an advanced N...
The excellent high temperature properties of Ni-base superalloys are derived from the presence of fine precipitates of the intermetallic Ni3Al phase, termed gamma prime. The... -
How do polymeric de-emulsifiers work? Contrast variation studies with model w...
The project is to understand fundamental structure-performance relationships of chemical demulsifiers in water-in-crude oil (w/o) systems. In particular, to understand how... -
Perfluorocarbon-loaded polymeric nanoparticles with multiple perfluorocarbon ...
Ultrasound is a very attractive and patient-friendly imaging technique, as it is easy to use, fast and non-invasive. Nevertheless, its use is severely limited by the low... -
Shear Stability of Emulsions in the Presence of Co-Surfactants with Various C...
High internal phase aqueous-in-oil emulsions prepared by oil-soluble polyisobutylenesuccinicanhydride (PIBSA) with a water-soluble co-surfactant n-alkylpolyacrylamide (PAM)... -
Structure determination of solution aggregation of single alkyl chain PC surf...
We have synthesised alkyl phosphorylcholine (CnPC) surfactants in hydrogenated and deuterated form and have determined their solution aggregation using SANS. In this part of... -
The interaction of novel gold supraparticles with model lipid membranes
Engineered nanoparticles (NPs) found large application in medicine as theranostic materials for the diagnosis and therapy of many diseases. The understanding of the interactions... -
How aggregate lifetimes affect the kinetics of surfactant surface multilayer ...
The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at interfaces from surfactant self-assembly is an important structural signature associated with a wide range of technological... -
Polymer displacement by surfactant at colloidal interface
The interactions of neutral polymers with surfactants have a key role in detergency and are systems of current academic and commercial interest. Here, we propose to study the...
