As our understanding of surfactant interfacial behaviour grows it is important to assess the applicability of the results to industrial applications. In these cases there are...

We request 4 days on IRIS to investigate the diffusional and rotational dynamics of the alkalide forming, fully methylated aza-crown hexamethyl-hexacyclen (HMHC) in...

Mica is an exceptionally important mineral in surface science, which until now has been inaccessible by neutron reflection. Here we propose a novel attachment method unlocking...

The proteins of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria are critical for bacterialsurvival, from providing basic physiological functions, to aiding virulence and...

The objective of the suggested study is to reveal the structure formed when short ssRNA molecules (similar to miRNA) interact with lipid monolayers at the air-water interface....

FeSe is structurally the simplest iron-based superconductor but one of the most intriguing electronically, with extreme tunability in its electronic and superconducting...

We plan to confirm that the change in asymmetry on resonance in the ALC spectra seen in the subject complex dielectric during the previous rapid access proposal (RB1900028) is a...

The phase behaviour of aqueous surfactant systems and in particular the transition between a gel (Lb) and liquid crystalline (La) phase can be influenced by some low molecular...

In an earlier high-pressure survey of the P,T phase diagram of deuterated ammonium carbonate, we observed changes in the neutron powder diffraction patterns that are consistent...

Tolaasin is a lipodepsipeptide (lipo = hydrophobic side chain, depsipeptide is an amino acid ring closed in a particular way) produced by strains of Pseudomonas tolaasii, and it...

In this work we will study a novel block copolymers consisting of a linear cationic block and uncharged bottle-brush block having 45 units long poly(ethylene oxide) side chains....

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...

Surface-active molecules with water-loving and water-hating parts have been found to contribute substantially to the man-made urban aerosol load originating from cooking...

Determination of the position of hydrogen in inorganic materials such as zeolites, coordination compounds, H2 storage materials, energy materials, organometallics etc is a...

We wish to understand how the concentration of surfactant mixtures in solution affects adsorption at lower temperatures; in particular, we wish to see how the composition of the...

The structure of ionic liquids at charged interfaces is an exciting and vibrant area of current research. Previous surface force apparatus experiments have shown layering up to...

This proposal aims to explore these dispersed lamellar phases with a variety of F7H4 derivatives,to help understand their formation in supercritical CO2 (sc-CO2). The focus is...

One application where liquid CO2 has found success is enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) of crude oil from porous rocks. However, a significant disadvantage of using CO2 in EOR is...

Biological membrane mimics are a bottle neck in biophysical studies today. The need to develop advanced models that actually represent the properties of specific cellular...

Mitochondria are not only the powerhouse of the cell, but are also involved in cellular suicide via apoptosis (programmed cell death). The mitochondrial apoptotic pathway is a...
