This proposal is to perform further SANS contrast measurements on three protein/DNA interactions currently worked on at the Research Complex at Harwell. This is part of an...

Hierarchical zeolites with molecular order at both the micropore (<2nm) and mesopore (2-50nm) level are able to combine confinement effects in catalysis without suffering...

A very important property of O/W microemulsions is the exchange dynamics of the oil molecules. So far little is know about that, despite the fact that its control is crucial for...

Dynamic microdomains, resulting from lateral lipid inhomogeneity and patterning within biological membranes, have been implicated in a wide range of critical cellular processes...

This proposal forms part of an ongoing project concerning interpenetrating network gels of starch and cellulose being developed towards applications in personal care and...

We hope to explore the self assembly properties of a novel chain end functionalised homopolymer to better understand its structure and enable tuning of its properties to enable...

Gastric mucus is a vital component for the protection of the stomach from the highly acidic gastric secretions, preventing autodigestion and providing mechanical protection....

The magnetic field-driven alignment of a photoconductive gel formed by an alkylated fullerene-C60 in n-alkanes will be studied. These could find application in next-generation...

This proposal is the first part of a fundamental study aiming to improve understanding about technically challenging water-in-CO2 (w/c) microemulsions, by firstly investigating...

Nascent 'disentangled' block copolymers of Ultra-high Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) with a reduced number of entanglements were synthesized having protonated (hPE) and...

Photochromic devices are ones which change colour upon the irradiation of light. These devices can be used a sensors, logic gates and privacy windows etc. Here we show and...

For twenty years scientists have been searching for surfactants able to solubilise water nano-domains in supercritical carbon dioxide, scCO2 (as water-in-scCO2 microemulsions,...

Producing meat analogue instead of real meat is one effective way to reduce carbon emission and improve animal welfare. Calcium caseinate is a prominent candidate for making a...

Nanogranular thin films of FexAg100-x (x=7,15,35) are an excellent system to study the interplay between the nanostructure and the magnetic behaviour, which is triggered by the...

The current project aims to 1) elucidate how bile salts (BS) structure influences their interfacial behaviour and role during lipolysis; 2) to study the potential ability of...

The results from this experiment will develop alternatives to controlling surface tension through the design of 21st century surfactants (better performance at lower...

Abnormally glycosylated IgA leads to IgA nephropathy, the most common cause of renal failure. IgG antibody represents one-third of new drugs currently in development, and its...

Small-angle neutron scattering will investigate in phase diagrams from binary mixtures of different chain lengths of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium...

Lithium ion batteries are the power source of choice for portable electrical devices owing to performance in terms of high specific capacity and reliability. Liquid electrolyte...

Organosilica nanomaterials have received substantial attention in the past two decades with a number of reports describing their synthesis, structural features, properties and...
