SANS study of the effects of leucine-isoleucine sequences on the self-assembl...
In this work, we have selected a group of short peptides containing 4-5 Ile (I) and 1 Lys (K) and examined the effects of sequential substitution of one I by L on... -
Investigation of the arm exchange process in coordination star polymers using...
Coordination star polymers are a group of novel macromolecules with coordination metal-organic polyhedral (MOP) that make-up the core section. There is rare studies on the... -
Resolving mixing.demixing effects in hydrocarbon/fluorocarbon micelles
Surfactants ability to lower surface tension and act as solubilising agents is critical for their wide use in everyday products. An oily hydrocarbon (HC) "tail group" attached... -
Micellization in H/F-Carbon surfactant mixtures used in fire-fighting foams
The aim is to probe the micellar compositions of fluorocarbon/ hydrocarbon mixtures used in commercial fire-fighting foam formulations (Figure 1) using contrast variation SANS.... -
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... -
Controlling the morphology of fullerene-free polymer solar cells using additi...
