The Effect of Polydispersity on the Self Assembly of Diblock Copolymers
Block copolymers are of interest due to their ability to undergo microphase separation. Originally block copolymers were produced with a low polydispersity index (PDI) as they... -
In situ study of stainless steel martensitic transformation at cryogenic temp...
The mechanical properties of of austenitic stainless steels are thought to be improved by the phenomenon of deformation-induced martensitic transformation, which acts to... -
In-situ tension and compression tests in plane strain
This proposal forms part of our larger study into the mechanics of nickel based alloys. In particular we are attempting to correlate the intergranular stress development in... -
Scaling Model for the adsorption of macromolecules at the oil-water interface
The aim of this proposal is the application of the scaling model for the adsorption of proteins at the oil-water interface. The adsorbed amount for a series of oils as a... -
Ca-ions at PS-containing biomimetic lipid layers: Interfacial water
Lipid membranes provide a sensitive platform for a variety of biological functions, and membrane lipid distributions are carefully regulated. In this project we plan to study... -
Neutron reflection study of spin coat grapheme oxide films
We have recently been able to form a thin graphene oxide (GO) film with uniform thickness around 30±2Å from aqueous GO suspensions by spin coating (onto small wafers for... -
A Surface Chemistry Approach to Microfluidic Capture of T-Cells for On-Body T...
In late 2017, T-cell therapy became the first gene therapy to have been approved by the US FDA and in 2018 approved for use in the UK. From the clinical data presented thus far,... -
Exchange kinetics of complex coacervates core micelles
Coacervates have been studied for a long time for their unusual properties: they are dense networks of charged polymers that are soluble in water. Instead of flocculating when... -
Kinetics of surfactant multilayer formation / dissolution at interfaces
The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at surfaces and interfaces from self-assembly in mixed surfactant and in polymer / surfactant mixtures are being increasingly... -
Ionic Liquid Aggregation in Polymers
Ionic liquid/Polymer mixtures, where the ionic liquid is the minority component are of particular interest for their potential as high temperature plasticisers and conducting... -
Investigation of the residual strain evolution upon in situ annealing of the ...
The present research proposal focuses on solving technological challenges associated with the implementation of components of Nickel superalloys produced by Additive... -
PNR of Magnetic Order in Delta-Doped Topological Insulators
We aim at studying proximity effects between a ferromagnetic thin film (either metallic or insulating) and a topological insulator (either undoped, or magnetically homogeneously... -
Proving ground-state ordering in Artificial Spin-Ice systems formed by sub-10...
The main purpose of the experiment proposed here is to study the effects of thermalisation on Artificial Spin-Ice (ASI) systems formed by nanomagnets with sub-100 nm lateral... -
Interaction of N2O with Membranes Using µSR
Nitrous oxide, N2O, is an inhalant anaesthetic with a long history of use dating back to 1844. It is most commonly used as a light sedative in dentistry, or in child birth and... -
Effect of alkyl chain length on the adsorption of n-alkyl phosphocholine surf...
This proposal relates to the study of adsorption of n-dodecyl phosphocholine (C12PC) at the oil-water interface. The thickness of the adsorbed monolayers measured for dC12hPC... -
Incorporation of PAN-pyrene swollen micelles in crosslinked polyelectrolyte f...
We have been studying the formation of solid polymer-surfactant films at the air-solution interface formed from cationic surfactants with PEI. We wish to use the micelles... -
Effect of temperature on the structure of model wax films as studied by neutr...
Cuticular wax films protect plants by mediating water and nutrient transport from the environment. Surfactant is a key ingredient in agrisprays that can promote the uptake of... -
Neutron reflection study of effects of non-ionic alkyl ethoxylates on model w...
We propose to use NR to study the structural features of the model wheat wax films formulated from the known main components of long chain primary alcohols and an ester. By... -
Neutron Reflection study characterising the fundamental structure and composi...
Understanding the plant wax-surfactant interaction process and the influence of surfactants upon the wax transport properties is crucial for the development of more efficient... -
