Ageing of Laponite-water solutions
We require beam time on NIMROD in order to complete and continue a previous experiment (RB1010046) on Laponite - water suspensions. We have succesfully performed the experiment... -
Interactions between alkylmethacrylate modifed polymers and surfactant micelles
We have observed formation of polymer-surfactant films at the air interface having a range of structures, related to their solution interactions. The films form with... -
Templating of titania films in cationic-anionic surfactant polymer solutions
In this proposal we wish to continue our recent work using polyelectrolyte-surfactant films as templates for inorganic structures, in this case titania.... -
Interaction of the counteracting osmolytes TMAO and urea in aqueous solutions
TMAO is a naturally occurring protecting osmolyte which stabilizes proteins and influences intermolecular interactions. Like some other osmolytes it counteracts the effects of... -
Characterization of P3HT:PCBM blends by SANS measurements
Blends of poly-3-hexyl-thiophene (P3HT) and 6,6-phenyl-C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) are the most promising candidates for active layers of plastic solar cells with high... -
Curvature effects in polyelectrolyte-surfactant solution interactions
