The interaction of alkyl hydroxamate with iron is of interest in mineral flotation science, corrosion control and also as a model for microbial siderophore chemistry. Long chain...

The family of manganese antiperovskites with the formula Mn3+xT1-xN (T = Sn, Ni, Ga..) have recently attracted much attention due to the range of interesting properties they...

A number of studies have determined that non-ionic surfactants are capable of altering diffusionrates and transportation of both water and active ingredients thorough the waxy...

As a result of an increasing number of bacteria developing resistance against antibiotics, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are currently attracting significant interest. However,...

Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have been used in various industrial applications and consumer products, but have received increasing global concern due to their...

We propose to study the magnetic moment and the magnetic layer profile in order to rule out the presence of magnetic dead layers at the interface in thin Fe films grown...

We propose to study off-specular polarised neutron reflectivity from an array of CoFeB nanostructures. Many groups use Permalloy to form these types of nanostructures, however,...

In this proposal we investigate the adsorption of a key additive and functional group used in lubrication and wear applications using neutron reflection on a metal oxide...

The goal of this project is to understand the antimicrobial activity of the intrinsically disordered salivary protein Histatin 5, which acts in defence against oral candidiasis...

Following our previous study of adsorption of globular lysozyme and BSA, we continue to explore how different globular proteins adsorb at the oil/water interface by neutron...

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...

We propose a simultaneous neutron reflectometry (NR)/attenuated total reflection (ATR) infra-red spectroscopy experiment on spin-coated thin films of self-assembled fatty acids...

In our recent experiment RB1120146 we obtained exciting new results on neutron scattering from the liquid helium surface. At 2.3K there was no difference in reflectivity between...

Hydrogels are water-rich polymer networks made from natural or synthetic polymers, which are widely used in biomaterials, medicine and antifouling. We have developed PEG-based...

In this work we will investigate how the magnetic properties of nanometer thick iron-oxide films can be manipulated by heating them in air. Our preliminary results indicate that...

The spin Seebeck effect is able to convert a temperature gradient into a spin current. Many potential applications exist for the field of spintronics, which use these spin...

The spontaneous selfassembly of nanoparticles (NP) at liquid-liquid interfaces is a phenomenon present in nature and relevant for many applications, such as, emulsion...

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...

Following our previous study of adsorption of Fc, Fab and the constituent mAb COE-3, we continue to explore how two bioengineered mAbs adsorb at the oil/water interface by...

To continue with our study on the interaction between superconducting (SC) and ferromagnetic (FM) order parameters we propose to study, by means of Polarized Neutron...
