Hierarchical zeolites with molecular order at both the micropore (<2nm) and mesopore (2-50nm) level are able to combine confinement effects in catalysis without suffering...

A very important property of O/W microemulsions is the exchange dynamics of the oil molecules. So far little is know about that, despite the fact that its control is crucial for...

Lipid bicontinuous cubic phases are self-assembled three dimensional lattices, consisting of a single periodic bilayer interwoven by two independent water channels. They can be...

Gastric mucus is a vital component for the protection of the stomach from the highly acidic gastric secretions, preventing autodigestion and providing mechanical protection....

This proposal aims to investigate the interaction of oxidised cellulose nanofibrils (OCNF) and anionic surfactants, such as sodium laureth sulphate (SLES) and sodium lauroyl...

The magnetic field-driven alignment of a photoconductive gel formed by an alkylated fullerene-C60 in n-alkanes will be studied. These could find application in next-generation...

We use SANS to study synthesis of interpenetrating polymer network in supercritical CO2 in situ at sans2D. The initial system contains an inorganic polymer network, hydrophilic...

This proposal is the first part of a fundamental study aiming to improve understanding about technically challenging water-in-CO2 (w/c) microemulsions, by firstly investigating...

Photochromic devices are ones which change colour upon the irradiation of light. These devices can be used a sensors, logic gates and privacy windows etc. Here we show and...

For twenty years scientists have been searching for surfactants able to solubilise water nano-domains in supercritical carbon dioxide, scCO2 (as water-in-scCO2 microemulsions,...

Producing meat analogue instead of real meat is one effective way to reduce carbon emission and improve animal welfare. Calcium caseinate is a prominent candidate for making a...

Nanogranular thin films of FexAg100-x (x=7,15,35) are an excellent system to study the interplay between the nanostructure and the magnetic behaviour, which is triggered by the...

The results from this experiment will develop alternatives to controlling surface tension through the design of 21st century surfactants (better performance at lower...

Abnormally glycosylated IgA leads to IgA nephropathy, the most common cause of renal failure. IgG antibody represents one-third of new drugs currently in development, and its...

Small-angle neutron scattering will investigate in phase diagrams from binary mixtures of different chain lengths of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium...

Lithium ion batteries are the power source of choice for portable electrical devices owing to performance in terms of high specific capacity and reliability. Liquid electrolyte...

The process of cell division requires precise duplication of the genetic material. The separation of the two strands of DNA and the progression of the replisome are driven by...

We propose to use SANS to probe the self organised formation of P3HT nanowires in a solution of deuterated chlorobenzene over a 48 hr period in order to better understand the...

CO2 foams can be formed in water/carbon dioxide (W/CO2) mixtures with the aid of W/CO2 interfacially active hydrocarbon surfactants and surface treated silica nanoparticles...

Non-ionic/metallosurfactant (P123/CTAF) mixed micelles are used as templates for the hydrothermal synthesis of mesoporous ferrisilicate materials. It was hypothesized that...
