Sustainable technologies for polymer manufacture remain an important target of catalyst research. Thus, we have developed a hierarchically-porous (HP) SAPO (containing...

The aim of this experiment is to characterise several novel ionic liquid ¿ oil and ionic liquid ¿ water microemulsions via SANS prior to their use in the synthesis of metallic...

For the first time, the research team aim to use INS to characterise a series of candidate methane reforming catalysts. Recent studies have shown that modification of...

Metal oxide nanoparticles are a form of pollution generated by a number of industrial procedures, and there is evidence that this class of nanoparticle can have a detrimental...

Radio-frequency muon spin resonance is a powerful technique for studying free radicals and their reaction kinetics, but it has not yet been used to study complex reactions in...

One method by which the efficiency of gas turbine engines may be improved is by increasing the gas stream temperature on entry to the turbine. Currently this temperature is...

Polymer-surfactant mixtures are extensively used in a wide range of domestic, industrial and technological applications. This proposal is part of a collaboration between Oxford...

Strain tomography is a novel approach to the analysis of residual strain fields that involves deconvolution of unknown distributions of residual elastic strains from redundant...

We propose to investigate the interfacial adsorption of a series of water-soluble single chain PC surfactants using neutron reflection, focusing on assessing the effects of...

Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) will be used to characterise the structures of aggregates formed between the anionic conjugated polyelectrolyte...

Nanoemulsions have considerable potential for dermatological drug delivery. Small angle neutron scattering in combination with contrast variation will be used to characterize...

Residual stresses introduced into large aerospace aluminium components after the queching procedure carried out to form the desired microstructure can result in large, costly...

This proposal aims to investigate the evolution of the structures of layered oxysulfide materials which show promise as lithium ion battery electrodes. The lithiation of...

We propose to investigate the spin dynamics in the Ortho-II order YBCO6.5 superconductor at energies above 100 meV. This study will be aimed at searching for the broadening of...

More than 6 million tonnes of carbon black per year are produced worldwide. The major part is used as reinforcing filler material in tyres and mechanical rubber goods. For...

Neutron reflectivity will be employed to investigate the interaction between dimethylsulphoxide and monomolecular films of phosphatidylcholine. The monolayer will be used as a...

The success of an orthodontic treatment highly depends on appropriate archwire selection as well as a clinician's ability to predict response during treatment. Precise knowledge...

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

Nitridosilicates and oxonitridosilicates (sions) gain more and more importance as host lattices for rare-earth doped phosphors in light emitting diodes. By means of...

In this proposal we wish to continue our current work on mesostructured inorganic films in largely ethanolic solutions, containing limited amounts of water. Transition metal...
