The aim of the present study is to use neutron diffraction enhanced with isotopic substitution and subsequent computer simulations to determine the head group solvation of a... -
Neutron Reflection Studies on Adsorption of Lauroyl-L-Carnitine (C12-L-Caniti...
Acyl L-Carnitines are a group of novel surfactants with attractive physical and biological properties associated with their head group charge features. This work proposes to use... -
Neutron diffraction from polyunsaturated multibilayer membranes containing a ...
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential dietary fats that have been proposed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular and auto-immune diseases, arthritis and cancer. PUFA... -
A study of hole injection efficiency for a model conjugated bilayer system
Polymer-based electronics have attracted huge interest due to their wide applicability to light emitting diodes, field effect transistors and photovoltaics. The aim of our... -
Model Amphiphilic Deep Eutectic Liquids
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... -
Salts Dissolved in Salts: Ionic Liquid + inorganic salt mixtures
Ionic liquids (ILs) are low melting point organic salts that until recently were thought to have homogeneous microstructure. In recent SANDALS research,1 we showed pure ILs are... -

Introducing the O-antigen into Bacterial Outer Membrane Models
The Gram negative bacterial outer membrane protects the bacterium from external toxins such as antibiotics. This is partially responsible for Gram negative bacteria becoming the... -
A Total Scattering Study of Dopamine, L-DOPA and Norepinephrine Aqueous Solut...
We request 5 days on Sandals to study the interactions of the neurotransmitters dopamine, L-dihydroxyphenylalanine and norepinephrine in aqueous solution. The interactions of... -
Humidity Effects on Surface Segregation in Plasticized Poly-Vinyl Alcohol Films
PVA film is widely used as a non-toxic water soluble polymer. This proposal relates to its use in unit dose detergent pouches where plasticised PVA film stores a concentrated... -
Effect of structure on the location of hydrophobic drugs in ionic surfactant ...
Many drugs are both poorly water-soluble (hydrophobic) and lipophilic in nature and are therefore incorporated into surfactant micelles and monolayers. As the incorporation of... -
Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons: Understanding liquid structure for benchmarking of...
Asphaltenes are a complex and problematic fraction of crude oil that can precipitate, alter wettability and stabilise unwanted oil-in-water emulsions. Asphaltenes have a high... -
Complex evolution of solution microstructure in LAS / nonionic surfactant mix...
This proposal is part of a broad programme of collaborative research between RAL / Oxford and Unilever, using predominantly scattering techniques to investigate the nature of... -
Martensite Variants and elastic Constants of Co-Ni-Ga Shape Memory Alloys
Pseudoelastic Co-Ni-Ga high-temperature shape memory alloys are characterized by a wide range of tunable transformation temperatures and lower processing costs compared to... -
Frustrated Lewis pairs: encounter complexes in an ionic liquid
Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLPs) are combinations of bulky Lewis acids and bases, which cannot form acid-base complexes due to steric hindrance. They are capable of metal-free H2... -
Understanding Melt Phase Aggregation in Semicrystalline Polymer Blends
We have recently prepared and studied the surface properties of some well-defined multi-end functional polyethylenes. Whilst most of our surface studies indicate that these... -
Solvent-solute interations in PET recycling systems
Glycolysis of polyethylterephthalate (PET) catalysed by ionic liquid solvents could offer a metal-free low cost approach to chemical recycling of waste PET. This work will... -
The origin of the dissolution of cellulose in NaOH/urea aqueous solution at -...
Cellulose is produced over tens of billions of tons every year in the world. It is the one of the most abundant natural polymer resources. Compared with petroleum-based... -
Structure and solvation of LiNTf2/1,2,3-trimethoxypropane - a new bio-derived...
This work will study the structure a new lithium-based electrolyte produced using 1,2,3-trimethoxypropane, a bioderived low-toxicity green solvent, as a first stage towards the... -
Mimicking Pathogens : Floating Gram Negative Bacterial Membranes Containing t...
Recently we have been able to show two advances in the creation of realistic models of the Gram negative bacterial outer surface for use in biophysical and structural studies....
