We require beam time on NIMROD in order to complete and continue a previous experiment (RB1010046) on Laponite - water suspensions. We have succesfully performed the experiment...

This proposals aims to investigate the atomic and intermediate range structure in model membrane environments. By beginning with a disperse system of a phosphocholine lipid in...

In this proposal we will study the structure of metal-ammonia solutions containing single graphene sheets by exploiting H/D isotopic labelling in conjunction with NIMROD¿s...

This proposal aims to provide an atomistic understanding of the adsorption of chiral amino acids and sugars on mineral surfaces using isotopically labelled reagents. Our...

We request 6 days on NIMROD to collect total scattering neutron diffraction data of aqueous solutions of paracetamol and caffeine. While much effort has gone into improving the...

The interface between an aqueous ionic solution and a charged surface is known as the electrical double layer (EDL). A detailed knowledge of the structure developed in this...

Many formulated products pass through or end up as foams, comprising immiscible millimeter sized bubbles dispersed into an aqueous continuous phase. Frequently, surfactants or...

The objective of this research is to understand the detailed structure of water-surfactant solutions as a function of concentration. This is important as these materials form...

Here we propose to look at the structure of two phosphocholine lipids, and their larger scale structures in aqueous solution. Depending on the length of the fatty acid chain in...

This proposal aims to extend our understanding of ionic liquid structure by performing measurements that will complement the data previousy collected on SANDALS. We propose to...

We will investigate a series of amorphised zeolitic solids and determine the short and medium range order structures and more importantly the nature of pore-size when we go from...

Titanium silicates are important for a number of applications such as ultra low expansion glasses, anti-reflective thin film coatings and catalytic materials. Titanium silicates...

The bacterial cell envelope is one of the best targets for antimicrobial development. It is this envelope that harbours the instruments of microbial warfare, preventing its...

The unprecedented simultaneous accessibility of the low and high Q region available on NIMROD allows to tackle the issue of ageing of colloidal systems from the point of view of...

In this experiment we aim to investigate, using neutron reflectometry in combination with contrast variation, the intermolecular interaction between the nucleic acid, calf...

This proposal is to explore aqueous phase structures with a new class of magnetic self-aggregating ionic liquids (MSAILs) (see Figures 2 and 3 below). The dilute micellar...

The near- and intermediate-range order within peptide and peptide/DNA hydrogels will be probed across the q range available on NIMROD. Samples will be prepared in H2O/D2O...

A consortium of several UK universities and industries has been set up, based at the National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, to investigate ¿Length-scale bridging in...

Shale swelling is particularly problematic in the oil and gas exploration sector, as environmentally friendly water based muds are invariably used during drilling operations to...

The aggregation of the Amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide is implicated in the progression of Alzheimer's disease, the treatment of which is a major current global healthcare...
