We aim to study the kinetics of phase formation and transformation during the crystallisation of apatite from amorphous degradable bioactive glasses used as a treatment for...

There is an interest in understanding the nature of fluoro-alumino-silicate glasses based upon the apatite stoichiometric composition and of potential within ionomer cements for...

The proposed work continues our investigations of the structure, aggregation, self-assembly and ion pairing of ionic liquids in the neat state, at interfaces, and in solutions....

This proposal continues our research on ion binding to surfactant micelles. Our recent work demonstrates that the details of water structure around micelles are now accessible...

We ask for 4 days on NIMROD to study the atomic- and intermediate-range order of ammonia-borane (AB) intercalated into mesoporous MCM-41. Ammonia borane is one of the leading...

Nimrod is a unique instrument that bridges atomic resolution solution scattering with small angle scattering. The opportunity therefore exists to probe both the microscopic...

Supercritical CO2 is an interesting medium for supercritical fluid extraction of aromatic molecules, due to the low temperatures and pressures needed to the process. Methanol is...

Graphene is a very promising material and appears particularly suitable in order to develop efficient hydrogen storage systems, especially if it is ¿decorated¿ with proper metal...

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...

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...

The aim of this proposal is to obtain an atomistic understanding of the adsorption of chiral amino acids on mineral surfaces. Our previous experiments on LOQ and at ILL on D16...

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 a proof-of-concept beamtime award (RB1220486) we studied the process of platinum-catalysed benzene hydrogenation in the pores of MCM-41 using standard neutron diffraction...

Magnetic nanoparticles are currently being investigated comprehensively. Our ball-milled TbCu2 nanoparticles show a core-shell structure in which the core orders...

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...

This proposal aims to use NIMROD to glean information on the mechanisms of pore filling and to obtain a quantitative absolute value for the density of supercritical hydrogen...

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...

Approved proposal under the ICRD Scheme Proposal ICRD0003

We will exploit the unique capability of Nimrod in the study of the long standing issue of polymer crystallisation. We focus on isotactic polypropylene which has been quenched...

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...
