Stabilization of anisotropic pigment particles: SANS
We wish to determine the effect of various stabilisers on anisotropic pigment particles that are being developed for use in liquid crystal composites. The SANS method uses the... -
Molecular architecture of novel, trichain-containing vectors for gene delivery
We have recently developed novel ternary lipopolyplex vectors (i.e. gene delivery vectors containing cationic lipid, plasmid DNA and a cationic peptide) in which, for the first... -
SANS DETERMINATION OF CO2 ABSORPTION INTO SURFACTANT STABILISING LAYERS
Recent SAXS measurements have indicated that CO2 can dramatically swell the surfactant layer in w/o microemulsions formed in CO2-swollen oils and also enhance solubilisation... -
SANS Studies of Novel Internally Stabilised Liposomes
Internally supported liposomes (ISLs) are composed of polymeric spheres enclosed by liposomes. Although very little research has been done on ISLs, understanding their... -
Interaction of polypeptides with surfactants: SANS study of solution aggregation
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the solution aggregation of collagen based polypeptides and their interactions with model surfactants.... -
Small Angle Neutron Scattering Measurement of Precipitation in 17-4PH Martens...
This work aims to understand the precipitation behaviour of nanoscale precipitates in 17-4PH grade martensitic stainless steel as a function of aging time and temperature.17-4PH... -
How do polymeric de-emulsifiers work? Contrast variation studies with model w...
The project is to understand fundamental structure-performance relationships of chemical demulsifiers in water-in-crude oil (w/o) systems. In particular, to understand how... -
How aggregate lifetimes affect the kinetics of surfactant surface multilayer ...
The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at interfaces from surfactant self-assembly is an important structural signature associated with a wide range of technological... -
Testing protein location in curved lipid bilayers using oriented lipid cubic ...
This proposal will test whether membrane proteins within lipid cubic phases preferentially sit in more or less curved bilayer regions, using our recent advances in preparing... -
Polymer-Lipid Nanodisc Self-assembly Processes Using Stop Flow
Polymer stabilized lipid nanodiscs offer enormous potential as tools for enabling membrane protein structural studies & biophysics. Polymer stabilized lipid bilayer discs... -
Study of macromolecular configuration of P3HT and P3HS in solution by SANS me...
The possibility of low-cost roll to roll fabrication procedures of organic solar cells using poly-3-hexyl-thiophene (P3OT) solutions has attracted intensive research in order to... -
Effect of lipid oxidation on raft formation using contrast variation SANS
The very heterogeneous, but non-random, arrangement of lipids and proteins in cell membranes are of major scientific interest and led Simons and Ikonen to propose that ¿rafts,¿... -
Cationic & Nonionic Micelles in Deep Eutectic Solvents
Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are molecular mixtures similar to ionic liquids, having melting points below room temperature. DES share many of the features of ionic liquids (low... -

SANS Study of pH-Triggered Behaviour in Pluronic-Flurbiprofen Solutions: In v...
Hydrophobic drug encapsulation is one of the widely used strategies to overcome the poor adsorption and bioavailability of these drugs in vivo. Water-soluble amphiphilic... -
A Time-Resolved SANS Study of the Gelation Mechanisms of Tetrapeptide Hydroge...
Time-resolved SANS will be used to investigate the mechanisms and kinetics of ordering of aseries of novel designed tetrapeptide-based hydrogelators. These inexpensive materials... -
Creep Cavitation in Stainless Steel Weldments
Reheat cracking is a creep failure mode that has been observed in welded structures operating at high temperatures in the power generation industry. The failure results from the... -
pH-driven self-assembly of colloidal particles confined between parallel walls
Small particles with dimensions of a few hundred nanometers tend to behave differently when confined in small spaces. Examples of such situations are easy to find in nature --... -
Evolution of raft formation over time using contrast variation SANS
Small angle neutron scattering will be used in combination with contrast variation as a non-invasive method to detect the presence and size formation of lipid microdomains or...
