Mechanisms of shear stability in emulsions
High internal phase water-in-oil emulsions can be efficiently stabilised by polymer amphiphiles for a static emulsion, and also show high shear stabillity even at elevated... -
Influence of shear on polymer adsorption at solid / liquid interfaces
Lubricants contain a complex mixtures of polymers and base oils that must provide protection to moving surfaces with minimal energy loss due to friction or viscous drag. There... -
Diffusion in a zeolite under flow conditions
Quasielastic neutron scattering is often used to measure the diffusion of organic materials inside the pores of catalysts. Although generally performed in a sealed system, a... -
Effects of Architecture on Polymer Diffusion
As part of a wider study we are investigating the effects of polymer architecture between cyclic and linear polymers. From ATR-FTIR measurements we observe clear differences... -
Separating static and dynamic contributions to the muon relaxation in Ca3(Co,...
Ca3CoMnO6 has alternating ions in ferromagnetic Ising chains that are antiferromagnetically coupled on a triangular lattice and realizes an important model in frustrated... -
Short range static and thermal disorder in glasses and crystals
We seek to use the temperature-dependence of the neutron correlation function to investigate the extent of static disorder in glasses and crystals, and also to investigate the... -
Towards operando QENS
Catalysts are materials that alter the rate of chemical reactions and are broadly used to lower costs, improve yields and to reduce unwanted pollutants. To properly understand... -
The hydration and ordering of lamellar block copolymer films prior to the for...
The key to the use of polymer vesicles as effective molecular delivery systems is in the ability to efficiently encapsulate a molecular payload within the vesicle. We would like... -
Investigating methods to create cavities within templated electrodeposited po...
Nanoporous membranes are widely used in (bio)sensors, chromatography, charge storage devices, filtration and catalysis. With increasing efforts to develop microfabricated sytem-... -
Influence of shear on polymer adsorption at solid / liquid interfaces
Lubricants contain a complex mixtures of polymers and base oils that must provide protection to moving surfaces with minimal energy loss due to friction or viscous drag. There... -
Binary colloidal mixtures - SANS contrast variation to study high concentrati...
Mixtures of colloidal particles of essentially two different sizes are commonly used in technological applications such as film formation on surfaces, paper coatings, etc.... -
Component Characterization
Time is required on Loq to study the bulk properties of commercial systems under shear. This time will come under existing NDA with Lubrizol. -
Probing superconductivity, static magnetism and light ion diffusion in molecu...
In 2012 we demonstrated that molecular spacer layers could be intercalated in between FeSe layers resulting in a dramatic enhancement of the critical temperature: FeSe is itself... -

Isotopic Characterisation of Pore Surface Chemistry in Monolithic MCM-41 Subs...
Porous materials impregnated with metal nanoparticles are extremely useful in catalysis, an industry that had a global turnover in 2010 of over three trillion dollars.... -
The ground state of a Kondo ion: V dissolved in the noble metal Au.
The 'non-magnetic' ground state of a Kondo ion is generally believed to consist of the localised spin surrounded by a compensating cloud of conduction electrons coupled... -
Growth of Nanostructured Ceria in Choline Chloride:Urea-Water Deep Eutectic S...
In our recent work we have studied formation of nanostructured cerium oxides from the choline chloride:urea deep eutectic solvent (DES). We found that the nanostructure of the... -
A SANS Study on the Influence of Shear on Peptide Fibrillisation
Time-resolved SANS will be performed to investigate the effect of shear on the fibrillisation of insulin following denaturation. The rheological response will be measured... -
RF decoupling of the F-mu-F state
NMR has become an extremely sophisticated experimental technique because of the use of pulse sequences which allow the control and manipulation of a nuclear spin system or... -
