Molybdenum based-oxides have recently attracted interest for use as electrolyte and electrode materials in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells. This proposal requests 5 days of beamtime on...

Patterned, swellable hydrogels are finding increasing applications as sensing, optical focussing and actuation elements in Lab-on-a-chip structures because of their property...

We aim to study the kinetics of phase formation and transformation during the crystallisation of apatite from amorphous degradable bioactive glasses used as a treatment for...

The mechanical properties of of austenitic stainless steels are thought to be improved by the phenomenon of deformation-induced martensitic transformation, which acts to...

This research project addresses an overlooked, but fundamental issue of colloid science: surfactant adsorption dynamics at nanoparticle-organosolvent interfaces. Adsorption of...

NMR has become an extremely sophisticated experimental technique because of the use of pulse sequences which allow the control and manipulation of a nuclear spin system or...

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...

Polymer-surfactant mixtures are extensively used in a wide range of domestic, industrial and technological applications. This proposal is part of a collaboration between Oxford...

Graphene has recently received widespread attention, after the discovery of its stability as a 2Dcrystal at ambient conditions and thanks to a wealth of possible applications....

In the framework of the PANAREA project, aiming to the development of new instruments for neutron imaging on TS2, the determination of geometric, optic, electronic, and aging...

More than 6 million tonnes of carbon black per year are produced worldwide. The major part is used as reinforcing filler material in tyres and mechanical rubber goods. For...

Approved proposal under the ICRD Scheme Proposal ICRD0014

The purpose of the present work is to measure residual stresses at large depths from the surface of flow formed tubes made of a Super CMV steel that has significantly higher...

Stabilised bismuth oxides are of interest as intermediate temperature solid electrolytes for a variety of electrochemical device applications. Lead doping into bismuth yttrate...

The proposed experiment is part of a study on the synthesis and characterization of Ti-Al-V alloys for hydrogen storage systems. We propose to investigate by neutron...

In this proposal we wish to continue our current work on mesostructured inorganic films in largely ethanolic solutions, containing limited amounts of water. Transition metal...

Organic materials offer a range of low-cost options for large area fabrication of solar (photovoltaic) cells. Unfortunately, organic photovoltaics suffer from low efficiencies....

The need to decarbon the energy economy is one of the greatest technological challenges mankind has ever faced. Gas hydrates offer new clean potential materials for hydrogen...

Light-metal hydride and amide systems are currently among the most promising materials for reversible hydrogen storage. In this proposal, we ask for 3 days on POLARIS or GEM to...

This proposal aims to explore organogel systems, like those recently decsribed1-3, but made from new CO2 philic surfactant-gelators. These have been synthesised to feature...
