Surfactant adsorption onto model surfaces
In the context of home and personal care products, studying surfactant and mixed surfactant adsorption ion model solid surfaces, which mimic real surfaces such as fabrics, hair... -
Proton Delocalization in Liquid Hydrogen Chloride
Liquid HCl has attracted numerous studies focusing onto the role played by hydrogen bonding on the dynamical properties of this weakly associated liquid. Previous computational... -
Competitive adsorption of Fatty acid, Phosphoric acid and Sulphonic acid salt...
This proposal presents a comparative study of the adsorption of three key chemical groups onto an important technological substrate, viz. fatty acid salt (Sodium hexanoate),... -
Multilayer surfactant adsorption onto cellulose surfaces
Studying surfactant and mixed surfactant adsorption on model solid surfaces, which mimic real surfaces such as fabrics, hair and skin, is starting to provide a real insight into... -
Neutorn Reflection from a 3He layer adsorbed onto liquid 4He
More than four decades ago A. F. Andreev predicted theoretically the existence of quantum statesof 3He atoms on free surface of liquid 4He . In other words, at low temperatures,... -
Novel gels with supercritical carbon dioxide
This proposal is to probe the gel structure with High Pressure SANS (HP-SANS) using an in-line pressure cell. The ability to control the properties of supercritical CO2,... -
Novel Alginate Adsorption onto High Surface Energy Crystal Faces of Calcite
In this novel proposal we will investigate adsorption onto the non-equilibrium face of calcite the first time this has been attempted. This will compliment and extend our... -
Adsorption of Sodium Polyacrylate onto a-Alumina
In this proposal we investigate the adsorption of the key dispersant additive, sodium polyacrylate, used in colloidal systems using neutron reflection on aluminium oxide, with... -
The competition between two polymers for adsorption onto one surface
The behaviour of multiple polymers in competition for colloidal silica has previously been investigated in our group using solvent relaxation nuclear magnetic resonance. We... -
Neutron Reflectivity Study of NeutrAvidin Immobilised onto Ti Implant Surfaces
We ask for 3 days of beam time on Inter/SURF to study the adsorption and adlayer characteristics of avidin on Ti surfaces, relevant for biomedical applications, such as... -
Adsorption of Organic Phosphate onto Silicon
This proposal presents to directly measure ¿bridging¿ of anionic surfactants on an anionic surface through multivalent ions from water under well-controlled conditions (pHs and... -
The manufacturing of Middle and Late Bronze Age Ceremonial Weapons .
We propse to study the phase and strain distributions on ENGIN_X of a Middle and Late Bronze Age weapon: a dirk (dagger) and a sword. The objects are from the National Museum of... -
The impact of polyelectrolytes on surfactant adsorption onto cellulose surfaces
Studying surfactant and mixed surfactant adsorption on model solid surfaces, which mimic real surfaces such as fabrics, hair and skin, is starting to provide a real insight into...
