Understanding and Controlling Biosurfactant self assembly in solution
Biosurfactants are becoming more commonplace in pharmaceuticals, vaccines and other forms of medicines. With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce... -
Probing the structure of polymeric foams on SANS2d ?
Polyurethane foams (PUFs) are commonly prepared by mixing Pluronic type copolymers and isocyanate reactive monomers in the presence of additives e.g. catalysts, blowing agent... -
SANS from photoconductive hydrogel mixtures and their gelators.
Hydrogels are formed from a self?assembled network of fibres made up of small molecules (gelators) trap and hold water at just 1% by weight, or less, from the solution they are... -

In-situ study of nanoscale omega phase kinetics in beta Ti alloys as a functi...
This work aims to understand the precipitation behaviour of nanoscale omega phase in beta phase matrix of Ti alloys as a function of quenching rate. The omega phase is regarded... -
Probing the effect of hydrophobic end chain length on the interaction of hydr...
Polymers are used to increase the viscosity of formulations to impart beneficial characteristics. To minimize the amount of polymer needed, polymers that form gels through... -
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... -
Magnetic interparticle coupling and magnetisation process in TbCu2 superantif...

Effect of steroid structure on solubilisation in a series of C12 surfactant m...
The current project aims to probe (at the nanometer length scale) the relationship between the structure of a surfactant molecule, the micelles it forms in solution, and the... -
Probing the vortex lattice in the iron-based superconductor FeSe
Magnetic field can penetrate a Type-II superconductor to form a vortex lattice (VL) due to the mutual repulsion between the vortices. VL is very important as it contains rich... -
Membrane perturbation and permeabilization by the lysosomotropic detergent MSDH
Lysosomes are subcellular organelles with acidic interiors (pH 3.5-5), containing enzymes that break down macromolecules and intracellular waste. Controlled release of lysosomal... -
Applying self-assembly in deep eutectic solvents to templated ionothermal syn...
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... -
Investigating the structure of modular ionogels for catalysis, biocatalysis, ...
Ionogels are a new class of soft matter that have only really become subject of detailed research in the past decade. As a result, much of the contemporary literature is still... -
The impact of added particles and surfactant on HEUR thickener solution struc...
Paints are typical formulated products. The paint consists of many different components - pigments, thickeners, surfactants - each of which has a specific function. The physical...
