Studies of creep behaviour in structures that operate at elevated temperatures such as nuclear power plants are important for structural integrity assessments. The effect of...

Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK with approximately 41,000 individuals in the UK diagnosed annually. Importantly it is estimated that over half of all...

This proposal combines small-angle neutron scattering with novel labelling strategies to investigate “amyloid” protein fibrils. Variations in packing and in the dynamics of...

Polysiloxane materials are commonly used in marine coatings due to their inherently low surface energy and flexibility which makes them suitable base materials for foul release...

We will use SANS to characterize dispersions of gold nanoparticles functionalized with poly(dimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate) brushes grafted from 25 nm gold nanoparticle...

The targeted delivery of non-water soluble drugs for applications such as cancer remains a major challenge. Nanocapsules are new materials that can act as a depot for such drugs...

Storing the energy available from the sun as a fuel that can be used anytime is a major global challenge. Organic materials synthesised from abundant elements that can harness...

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

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are a subclass of room temperature ionic liquids (ILs). They are mixtures of an organic salt with a hydrogen bond donor that form strong...

Hydrophobins, hfb2, are secreted fungal proteins, which are strongly surface active and possess powerful emulsion and foam stabilising properties. Understanding their...

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...

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...

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

The present project aims to achieve a more detailed structural characterization by SANS of Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLN) and liposomes in a perspective of an inhaled anti...

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is an anionic surfactant, extensively employed in cosmetics and personal care, as well as in pharmaceuticals and food products. Surfactants are...

At high pH many low molecular weight gelators (LMWG) are dispersed in solution. When a trigger is applied to lower the pH the gelator molecules self-assemble into one...

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

In our proposal we aim to explore and study the formation and distribution of magnetic clusters and their dynamics as a function of temperature in La0.85Sr0.15CoO3 using SANS...

At the heart of protein¿s aggregation are specific molecular events; and how they are modulated by changes in solvent conditions is key to our understanding and control of...

Geologists are increasingly realizing the unique perspective that neutron scattering offersforunlocking the complex geologic histories of rocks. In this study, we propose to...
