Non-ionic surfactant induced desorption of a strongly bound cationic layer fr...
In this proposal we request beamtime to study the unexpected behaviour of a strongly bound bilayer of the cationic surfactant didodecyldimethylammonium bromide on the anionic... -
Particle dispersions in ODS Nano-Structured Ferritic Alloys
Oxide-dispersion-strengthened (ODS) materials are under development for use in applications in both nuclear fission and nuclear fusion power generation. The materials offer... -
Segregation of Zwitterionic Surfactants in PVA Film and Influence of Compatib...
Migration and segregation of small molecules in complex polymer matrices is relevant to a huge range of industrial problems which we aim to address via a coordinated series of... -
Multilayering of Methyl Ester Sulphonates at the Air-Aqueous Interface: Effec...
Surfactants usually form a single layer of molecules at the surface of water. We have shown that under certain conditions more than one layer may form. When this happens the... -
Lipodepsipeptides and Brown Blotch Disease in Mushrooms (ii) the role of tola...
Tolaasin is a lipodepsipeptide (lipo = hydrophobic side chain, depsipeptide is an amino acid ring closed in a particular way) produced by strains of Pseudomonas tolaasii, and it... -
Developing a generic gravimetric method to determine the composition of films...
We propose to develop a new and generic, multi-probe technique to characterize the mass, and changes in mass, of material probed in a NR experiment. This methodology will be... -
Tuning Emergent Magnetisation Dynamics in Interconnected Nanomagnets
Access to OFFSPEC is requested to investigate emergent magnetisation dynamics in ensembles of interconnected ring-shaped nanowires. When these ensembles are subjected to... -
Study of the interaction of thermoresponsive nanogels with model skin
Skin is an important site for drug delivery. However skin, the stratum corneum which is mainly composed of mixture of lipids, cholesterols and fatty provide a barrier for drug... -

Analyte Distribution within Thin Film Explosive Sensors
In the current world political climate, technology that offers accurate, real-time and selective sensing of explosive compounds is increasingly important. Whether it is for use... -
Surface adsorption of lipopeptides: interfacial layer structure
Lipopeptide surfactants are highly effective at reducing interfacial tension. However, there is a general lack of understanding of the relationship between their molecular... -
Operando Neutron Reflectometry of Silicon/Oxygen Batteries – Analysis of Init...
The following proposal is aimed to provide new insights into surface passivation mechanism of Si electrodes in Si-O2 batteries and to validate the already published proof of... -
Measuring the structure of a poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) gel layer under compress...
Polymers adsorbed or otherwise attached to interfaces provide an extremely powerful tool to control the forces that act between interfaces. The functionality of these attached... -

Arctic Cloud Chemistry: Can the Halogen "explosion" oxidize material at air-w...
The Arctic climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in Arctic clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important climatic... -
Multilayering of Isostearic Methyl Ester Sulphonate at the Air-Aqueous Interf...
Surfactants usually form a single layer of molecules at the surface of water. We have shown that under certain conditions more than one layer may form. in which case the system... -
Investigating the Effect of Structural Rigidity on the Electromechanical Resp...
One of the rapidly developing frontiers in research is focused on the rational design of polymeric materials that have targeted functionalities and tunable responses to external... -
The Interaction of wild-type and mutant Puroindoline B with Model Bacterial M...
Bacterial and fungal infections of cereal crops pose a considerable risk to global food security. Typically plant pathogens are controlled through the use of chemical agents... -
Copy of: The origins of Biosurfactant self synergy
Biosurfactants are becoming more commonplace in pharmaceuticals, vaccines and other forms of medicines. With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce... -
The Interactions of Blood Components with Models of the Gram Negative Bacteri...
