Structural studies of thermal responsive nanogels at the oil-water interface
It has been shown that gel particles are able to stabilize the oil-water interface and forming emulsions ( the so called "Pickering emulsions"). It has also been shown that... -
Polymer-surfactant films modified with alkylmethacrylates for structure reten...
We have previously observed formation of polymer-surfactant films at the air-water interface having a range of structures including 2D hexagonal, bicontinuous cubic and lamellar... -
Interfacial Structures of Co-sensitized Dye-sensitized Solar Cell Working Ele...
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) are promising candidates for building integrated photovoltaics. The use of multiple dyes simultaneously, co-sensitization, promises improved... -
How does tendency to adopt different secondary structures from antimicrobial ...
This work aims to exploit the unique capability of neutron reflection to examine how 2 antimicrobial lipopeptides that tend to adopt different secondary structures bind to model... -
Time of Flight MISANS
MISANS is the combination of Modulation of Intensity Emerging from Zero Effort (MIEZE) and Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS). SANS is used to determine the microscopic... -
Adsorption of tetraalkylammonium (R4N+) counterions into monolayers of surfac...
This proposal is to explore adsorption of tetraalkylammonium (R4N+) counterions into monolayers of surfactant anions (see Figure 1) at the air-water interface, as a function of... -
Membrane interactions of virus-like silica nanoparticles as antimicrobial pep...
As a result of an increasing number of bacteria developing resistance against antibiotics, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are currently attracting significant interest. However,... -
Non-equilibrium kinetics in highly interacting polymer mixtures
We seek to investigate the non-equilibrium phenomena of a model polymer mixture by time-solved SANS and temperature jump experiments within (a) one-phase region and (b) one to... -
Formation of asymmetric free-standing bilayers with lipopolysaccharide in the...
We have recently improved the stability and coverage of free standing bilayers by the use of a supporting thiolipid layer on gold. The system has been investigated on POLREF and... -
Magnetic alignment of fullerene-containing gel fibers
The magnetic field-driven alignment of a photoconductive gel formed by an alkylated fullerene-C60 in n-alkanes will be studied. These could find application in next-generation... -
Exchange Spring Evolution in SmCo5/Fe and NdCo5/Fe
We propose to investigate the evolution of the exchange spring (ES) in NdCo5/Fe and SmCo5/Fe with temperature and magnetic fields using polarized neutron reflectometry. The... -
Adsorption of Monoclonal Antibodies at the Solid/liquid Interface
We propose to use neutron reflection to study the interfacial adsorption of 2 novel bispecific therapeutic antibodies at the silicon oxide/water interface. To enpower each of... -
Interactions of polyfluorinated substances with a phospholipid bilayer
Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have been used in various industrial applications and consumer products, but have received increasing global concern due to their... -
Mimicking Pathogens : Floating Gram Negative Bacterial Membranes Containing t...
Recently we have been able to show two advances in the creation of realistic models of the Gram negative bacterial outer surface for use in biophysical and structural studies.... -
Stress evaluation of RAFM weld for fusion reactor
Reduced Activation Ferritic-Martensitic steels (RAFMs) are the primary candidate structural material for the FDS series LiPb blankets for fusion reactors, in particular the Dual... -
Protein nanosheets assembled structures at the air-water interfaces for cell ...
Cell adhesion and proliferation at the surface of liquids such as oil droplets is a surprising phenomenon as it is typically accepted in the field of bioengineering that cells... -
Detailed structures of surfactant micelles
Measurements are required for Sans2d resolution checks and also the overlap of the two Sans2d detectors. Proposal submitted to panel and they deemed it should be done as... -
Interaction of amino acid based biosurfactants with model lipid bilayers
N-acyl amino acids are surfactants with attractive applications in different technological fields. They are referred to as mild surfactants because they are commonly considered... -
