The competition between two polymers for adsorption onto one surface
The behaviour of multiple polymers in competition for colloidal silica has previously been investigated in our group using solvent relaxation nuclear magnetic resonance. We... -
Determination of the Low Temperature Crystal Structure of Cobalt Adipate
This experiment will use high resolution neutron diffraction to investigate the crystal and magnetic structure of the cobalt adipate framework, Co(CO2(CH2)4CO2), at lower... -
Adsorption kinetics from polymer/surfactant systems; PSS/CnTAB
Polymer-surfactant mixtures are widely used in commercial formulations in personal care, pharmaceutical and agrochemical, cleaning, automotive and food industries. The... -
Neutron diffraction of amorphous magnesium carbonate (AMC)
Biominerals, including calcium carbonates, are found in a range of organisms. Although amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is inherently unstable, it is a key material in... -
In-situ neutron diffraction investigation of Ni-based batteries
Ni-based secondary batteries are currently used in many applications, however, the structural changes at the electrodes are not fully characterized and neutron diffraction is a... -
Structural phase transitions in proton conducting BaCe0.8Y0.2O3-d as function...
The structure dependence of BaCe0.8Y0.2O3-d (BCY-20), a leading proton conducting material, will be studied as a function of temperature and, critically, controlled atmosphere... -
Structure of Meibomian lpid films at the air-water interface using
The tear film of the eye has an outer meibomian lipid layer (TFLL) that allows tears to spread across the eye and remain stable. Our Langmuir trough and other studies show that...
