The structure of nanographenes in solution
In this proposal we will study the structure of metal-ammonia solutions containing single graphene sheets by exploiting H/D isotopic labelling in conjunction with NIMROD¿s... -
Divacancy superstructures and enhanced thermopower in NaxCayCoO2
Replacing Na ions in NaxCoO2 with divalent Ca ions results in the formation of ordered arrays of divacancy clusters, rather than the trivacancy clusters found for the pure... -
Interactions between phenylboronic acid modified polyacrylamides and surfactants
We are currently investigating phenylboronic acid modified polyacrylamides with variable phenylboronic acid block lengths as a route to glucose sensors with controllable... -
Interaction between Rubisco and SDOBS at an air-water interface
Protein-surfactant interactions at an interface play an important role for broad applications in the chemical, dairy, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Rubisco is the most... -
Structural studies of mixed anionic and cationic surfactants at the charge me...
This proposal is concerned with the structural study of anionic and cationic surfactant mixture on a charged metal oxide surface using neutron reflectivity. Also to evaluate the... -
Effect of drug on the micelles formed by ionic surfactants
The aim of the study is to use SANS in combination with contrast variation to determine the effect of solubilising the lipophilic drug, testosterone propionate, in micelles... -
Polymer displacement by surfactant at colloidal interface
The interactions of neutral polymers with surfactants have a key role in detergency and are systems of current academic and commercial interest. Here, we propose to study the... -
Effect of pH on the complexation behaviour between Pluronic micelles, drugs a...
Pluronic micelles are attractive candidates as drug carriers. Despite the abundance of data on their association with various drugs, there is, in contrast, very little... -
Magnetism, structure and superconductivity in Sr1¿xNaxFe2As2 (HRPD)
We will use the high resolution of HRPD and the excellent long d-spacing data available on OSIRIS to investigate the phase transitions in Sr1-xNaxFe2As2 which are associated... -
Major elements (XRF) of sediment core MD97-2142 during MARION DUFRESNE cruise...
Major elements (Si, Ti, Al, Fe, Mn, Mg, Ca, Na, K, P) were measured with conventional XRF (RIGAKU RIX2000 X-ray fluorescence spectrometer at the Department of Geosciences at... -
Marine combined carbohydrates and other chemical constituents of PM10 aerosol...
Aerosol particles were collected in autumn 2017 at the Cape Verde Atmospheric Observatory (CVAO) on São Vicente Island, using a high-volume PM10 aerosol sampler (DIGITEL,...
