Kinetics of the formation of eumelanin and its intermediates
The proposed research project is targeted to the investigation of the characteristics of eumelanin, a heterogeneous material insoluble in water and in any organic solvent, as... -
Interactions of Cationic Surfactants with Phospholipid Vesicles: Influence of...
Surfactants are frequently used in personal care products to improve the wetting and oil solubilizing qualities of the products, which also leads to the skin irritation by... -
Effect of Q on the INS spectrum of coordinated small molecules in frameworks:...
We request 3 days on MARI to investigate the effect of Q on the previously determined partial phonon density of states of a zeolite framework with a low concentration of... -
Formulating polymer solutions to stabilise polymeric foams
Polyurethane foams (PUF) are commonly prepared by mixing Pluronic type copolymers and isocyanate reactive monomers in the presence of additives e.g. catalysts, blowing agents... -
Dynamics of amyloid protein fibril elongation using isotope-labelled SANS
This proposal combines optical spectroscopy with neutron scattering using novel labelling strategies to investigate ?amyloid? protein fibrils. Variations in packing and in the... -
Telechelic Polymer - Homopolymer Blends
We have recently embarked on a new 1 year project funded by Michelin to explore the self-associatation and mechanical properties of telechelic rubbery materials. Such materials... -
Opening up microemulsion phases in CO2
New types of water-in-CO2 microemulsions using mixed surfactant systems will be investigated by high-pressure SANS (HP-SANS). Exciting new results (see report on RB820030) have... -
Protein interactions at solid-liquid interfaces: The effect of affinity colum...
Biopharmaceuticals are manufactured using chromatographic procedures including adsorption and desorption processes at the solid-liquid interface. These events take place in... -
Define the crystal structures of lead-free ferroelectric, candidate multiferr...
We have a range of new structures in the lead-free ferroelectric, candidate multiferroic and SOFC cathode areas. The HRPD data will be used to define these new crystal... -
Polymer conjugates for drug delivery
Complex polymer architectures such as comb polymers have been studied for their highly customisable chemical properties. Potential applications have been identified in a wide... -
Crystal Field Splitting in Dysprosium Double Decker Single Molecule Magnets
We aim to elucidate the low-energy electronic structure of two distinct dysprosium bisphthalocyanine single-molecule magnets by direct observation of crystal field excitations... -
Production mechanism of polymersomes
In the field of cancer research, radionuclide therapy is proven to be one of the only viable alternatives to chemotherapy in the case of metastasized cancer. In this context,... -
Surface Active Carbene (Surfenes) Precursors and Complexes
Within the last decade N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have been widely recognised for their numerous catalytic applications. However, despite their widespread use as... -
Structure of B2O3-GeO2 glass by neutron diffraction with isotope substitution
The composition dependent structure of glasses in the B2O3-GeO2 system will be measured by employing the method of neutron diffraction with Ge isotope substitution. This system... -
Viscosity modifiers for CO2
There is a well-documented track record of research into water-in-CO2 (w/c) microemulsions. Using newly discovered CO2 compatible surfactants, the next step is to explore... -
Organogels for applications in CO2
This proposal aims to explore organogel systems, like those recently decsribed1-3, but made from new CO2 philic surfactant-gelators. These have been synthesised to feature... -
