Probing Solvation and Segregation in Multilayer Conducting Polymer Films
Tuning the colour of electrochromic conducting polymers can be achieved by layer upon layer deposition of multiphase components. This approach can offer advantages over other... -
A method to weigh polymer films and adsorbates during neutron reflectivity me...
With the advent of TS-II, there is a drive to probe more complex and multicomponent systems using neutron reflectivity. In such studies, confidence associated with model Nb fits... -
Probing the spatial distribution of fluorophores entering nanoscale pores in ...
We wish to make specular NR measurements on fluorophore functionalization of amine-functionalized polypyrrole (PPy-NH2) films. The critical issue is film penetration of solution... -
Developing a generic gravimetric method to determine the composition of films...
We propose to develop a new and generic, multi-probe technique to characterize the mass, and changes in mass, of material probed in a NR experiment. This methodology will be... -
Using SERGIS, SESANS and NR to probe nanoscale cavities created within templa...
Nanoporous membranes fabricated by polymerization around soluble templates have found many applications in (bio)sensors, charge storage devices, filtration and catalysis.... -
Self-Organisation of Phospholipids on Au Electrodes
This experiment is part of a programme to study the effect of applied electric fields on the structure of biomimetic films formed at Au electrodes, with emphasis on... -
Effect of electrochemical control function and dopant anion on polyaniline fi...
We propose to determine the structures (polymer and solvent populations and spatial distributions) of polyaniline films deposited by different protocols. These involve different... -
Probing lateral solvent and ion distributions in patterned pH swellable gels ...
Patterned, swellable hydrogels are finding increasing applications as sensing, optical focussing and actuation elements in Lab-on-a-chip structures because of their property...
