We wish to look at the structure of polymers used in the field of organic electronics, these structures . Specifically we will look at the time evolution of light emitting...

It is the aim of the proposal is to perform neutron reflectivity (NR) studies combined with contrast variation to determine the structure of phospholipid monolayers on a...

The asphaltene fraction of crude oil is defined by its solubility parameters (insoluble in n-heptanebut soluble in toluene). Changes in conditions (temperature, pressure,...

Cyclic peptides with alternating side chain stereochemistry are capable of self-assembling into long nanotubes. The conjugation of polymers to these peptides renders the...

The aim of this experiment is to investigate the change in conformation of a chiral polymer dissolved in hexafluoroisopropanol as the temperature of the system is varied....

Solar cell materials are routinely used in many applications and many studies are ongoing which have three principle objectives. To increase the efficiency, reduce the cost of...

The proposal aims to determine the degree of interfacial mixing and roughness at an interface between two conjugated polymers, as part of a broder program to understand how to...

Phenomena surrounding the wetting of natural or artificial topographically patterned surfaces are found systems associated with the diverse fields of chemical engineering,...

The functionality of biological membranes is closely tied to their structural behavior. To understand this behavior we propose to study the conformality of artificial lipid...

The aim of the project is to use Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) to determine the particle sizes and the internal shell dimensions of the nanogels as a function of the...

The aim of the experiment is investigate some nucleid acids to provide us with information about the size and shape when is dispersed in a solvent, so in a future studies to be...

Neutron scattering and in particular SESANS is able to give us excellent ensemble averaging of the optical properties of materials which exhibit structural colour. We plan to...

This experiment is part of a programme to study the effect of applied electric fields on the structure of biomimetic films formed at Au electrodes, with emphasis on...

This proposal addresses issues related to understanding drug diffusion in supramoleculargels with view at fundamental pharmacological questions for drug delivery. Preliminary...

Patterned, swellable hydrogels are finding increasing applications as sensing, optical focussing and actuation elements in Lab-on-a-chip structures because of their property...

In the present study the acidic, anti-inflammatory drug, ibuprofen has been PEGylated using an polyoxyethylene chain of 750 molecular weight. The consequence of this PEGylation...

This projects aims to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between processing conditions, active layer morphology and device performance in polymer solar...

Polymeric films thinner than a 100 nm exhibits a variation of the glass transition temperature of a few tens of degrees and can brake up into discrete islands when heated near...
