We are studying asphaltene behavior in multiple solvent environments to investigate the key motives behind polyaromatic hydrocarbon self-aggregation. We have found that 1-...

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are complexes of organic salts and neutral hydrogen bond donors. They are tuneable, low volatility liquids that are environmentally benign and which...

Deep eutectic liquids (DELs) - mixtures of high melting-point solids that form stable liquids near room temperature ¿ have recently emerged as a new class of novel solvents with...

Production of oil and gas from shale resources has revolutionized the energy industry. However, the physics and chemistry describing fluid flow in shale are fundamentally...

This proposal aims to study the potential for neutron diffraction to offer spatially-, chemically-, and temporally-resolved information on a dynamic system, in this case the...

Organisms which live in the presence of large quantities of salt are known as halophilic (meaningsalt-loving). Halophilic proteins are of great interest due to their ability to...

We will investigate a series of aluminophosphate systems, in particular related to small pore materials and determine the short and medium range order structures and more...

Halogen bonding is a directional intermolecular interaction that occurs between covalently bonded halogens and Lewis bases. It is caused by the anisotropic distribution of...
