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...

Lipid bicontinuous cubic phases are self-assembled three dimensional lattices, consisting of a single periodic bilayer interwoven by two independent water channels. They can be...

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

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...

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

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 aims to investigate the interaction of oxidised cellulose nanofibrils (OCNF) and anionic surfactants, such as sodium laureth sulphate (SLES) and sodium lauroyl...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

CO2 foams can be formed in water/carbon dioxide (W/CO2) mixtures with the aid of W/CO2 interfacially active hydrocarbon surfactants and surface treated silica nanoparticles...

With the beamtime requested we plan to employ small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) to study novel nanocolloidal drug carriers prepared using lipids, surfactants and...
