Critical Opalescence in Binary Liquid Mixtures
In this proposal, we would like to investigate how a binary organic mixture approaches its critical point over unprecedented length and time scales, from the micron range down... -
Kinetic Study of the Mechanistic Complexation Process Between DNA and Cationi...
We propose to use the new SANS2d to study the dynamic structural evolution in the couse of the formation of DNA-cationic polymer complexes. The dynamic process and the mixing... -
Gels in CO2
The proposal aims to explore different self-assembly structures in CO2 with the focus of developing viscosity modifiers for supercritical CO2 (sc-CO2). This is part of a... -
SANS studies of imprinted nanogels: evaluation of a possible relationship bet...
The aim of the project is to use Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) to determine the particle sizes and the internal shell dimensions of the nanogels as a function of the... -
Microemulsions stabilized by magnetic surfactants
Surfactant systems responsive to pH, temperature, CO2, and light are known. Our new work has shown for the first time, magneto-responsive surfactants (also being ionic liquids... -
SESANS study of phase segregation in microemulsion polymerisations
Spin echo small-angle neutron scattering (SESANS) beamtime is requested to study the growth of polymer nanolatices in novel microemulsion systems. The natural incompatibility of... -
Aggregation in ionic liquids
The aim of this experiment is to investigate surfactant aggregation in ionic liquids and also ionic liquid ¿ oil and ionic liquid ¿ water microemulsions via SANS. Contrast... -
Rod-like micelles as CO2 fluid thickeners
Using LOQ, we have recently shown that self-assembly of fluoro-sulfocuccinate surfactants is indeed a viable approach to promote viscosity enhancement in liquid CO21 (Rod-like... -
Optimizing surfactants for CO2
This experiment addresses an important, and still unresolved, question in the field CO2-philic surfactants: what is the minimum fluorine content necessary to obtain a CO2-philic... -
Phase separation of hydrocarbon-fluorocarbon surfactants at the air/water int...
Off-specular neutron reflection beamtime is requested to study phase separation at the air/water interface. Stability of systems, such as polymers, is a major area of interest... -
Surfactant aggregation at the solid-Ionic liquid and air ionic-liquid interfaces
The beamtime requested will be used to study the adsorption of a series of non-ionic surfactants at the air-IL interface in order to further understand the aggregation processes... -
Ionic liquid containing microemulsions
The aim of this experiment is to characterise several novel ionic liquid ¿ oil and ionic liquid ¿ water microemulsions via SANS prior to their use in the synthesis of metallic... -
