Determination of the structure of methoxy on eta-alumina
We have recently demonstrated that we are able to obtain structural information about adsorbed hydrogenous species from a variety of metal catalysts. We emphasise that this is a... -
Interaction of a small protein with water and other solutes: The case of Glut...
The tripeptide glutathione (GSH) is present in cells at millimolar concentrations, and the ratio of GSH to glutathione disulfide (GSSG) is critical to cellular redox balance.... -
Tuneable Adsorption of Soft Colloids on Model Biomembrane
Understanding how nanoparticles interact with lipid bilayers will potentially have high impact on the development of new drug delivery systems, and on the investigation of their... -
Speciation and complex-ion formation in protic ionic liquids
The aim of this proposed study is to explore protic ionic liquids formed from by combining bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl}imidic acid (H[NTf2]) with imidazole and pyridine at... -
Searching for encounter complex in solutions of frustrated Lewis pairs - II
It has been postulated that 'Frustrated Lewis Pairs' preform an encounter complex associated by van der Waals forces, and that is it is this complex that interacts, and... -
Silica perturbation of the water structure around cationic micelles during te...
This proposal continues a new direction in our research on surfactant-templated inorganic materials. These nanostructured materials contain ordered arrays of surfactant micelles... -
Neutron diffraction of amorphous calcium carbonate
Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is regularly listed as one of the known calcium carbonate phases, first being identified in 1984. Although ACC is inherently unstable, it is a... -
Interaction of sugars and a model peptide
We propose to perform a NDIS experiments at the SANDALS diffractometer at T = 300 K on 7 aqueous solutions of NMA and trehalose and NMA and glucose, aimed at investigating the... -
Hydration of Laponite powder
In a recent experiment on NIMROD (RB1120193) we have studied the microscopic structure of Laponite suspensions at 2 concentrations, namely Cw=1.5% and Cw=3.0%, at both the... -
Structure of ethylammonium nitrate-water mixtures
We propose to explore the morphology of Ethylammonium Nitrate (EAN, a protic ionic liquid, PIL)-water mixtures. Both components are polar, protic compounds whose structure is... -
The structure of methanol in halloysite nanotubes
Understanding the structure of liquids in nanopores and at interfaces is extremely important in many natural and industrial processes. In this experiment, we will use the unique...
