Morphology in Polymer-Fullerene Bulk-Heterojunctions Materials
A promising class of materials for solar energy is conjugated polymer (CP)-fullerene mixtures. They offer the future potential for replacing current inorganic systems with... -
Effect of surfactant head group on micelle structure of drug containing micelles
The aim of the current project is to probe (at the nanometer length scale) the relationship between the solution structures of a surfactant molecule, the aggregate(s) it forms... -
Validating calorimetric self aggregation models: Self aggregation of cationic...
Ligand self aggregation is a common problem when studying interactions with bio(macro)molecules. In particular for techniques requiring relatively high ligand concentrations,... -
Structure of alkylated aza-crown ether inverse micelles
Ion transfer through fluid-fluid interfaces plays decisive roles in many natural and industrial processes. In studies of Cu(II) transport by Permeation Liquid Membrane (PLM)... -
Understanding nanoscale inhomogeneities in industrial films
The world wide trade in chemicals is shipped via large tankers. These tankers have their holds coated in epoxy resin based systems. The major issue in their use is the waste and... -
Dynamics of chain exchange between stiff complex coarcervate core micelles (C...
Complex coacervates core micelles (C3Ms) are colloids obtained through the co-assembly of neutral-ionic copolymers bearing oppositely charged functional groups. These micelles... -
SANS Studies on Aggregate Structures of Peptide Amphiphiles
Peptide amphiphiles have special self-assembling behaviors and important aggregate properties, which make them have many potential applications both in vitro and in vivo. The... -
Controlling the morphology of fullerene-free polymer solar cells using additi...
We have recently demonstrated, using small angle neutron scattering in combination with other techniques, that in organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) the additive... -
Encapsulation of hydrophobic species into cat-anionic micelles in polymer sol...
This proposal continues our investigations into film forming polyelectrolyte-surfactant solutions. We have found that mixed cat-anionic micelle systems offer greater control... -
Dynamics of amyloid protein fibril elongation using isotope-labelled SANS
This proposal combines optical spectroscopy with neutron scattering using novel labelling strategies to investigate ?amyloid? protein fibrils. Variations in packing and in the... -
Telechelic Polymer - Homopolymer Blends
We have recently embarked on a new 1 year project funded by Michelin to explore the self-associatation and mechanical properties of telechelic rubbery materials. Such materials... -
Polystyrene latex - 'single crystal' structure studies and melting under flow
For deionised, charge stabilised latices, there has been some uncertainty about the stacking sequence of close packed layers in samples at equilibrium. The ABCA stacking in... -
Opening up microemulsion phases in CO2
New types of water-in-CO2 microemulsions using mixed surfactant systems will be investigated by high-pressure SANS (HP-SANS). Exciting new results (see report on RB820030) have... -
Concentration of small acids using complex coacervates
Volatile fatty acids (VFAs) are widely used chemicals, which serve as precursors for e.g., polymers. These VFAs can be produced through unsustainable petrochemical routes.... -
Radiation induced changes in block copolymer micelles
Block copolymer micelles have been used to encapsulate various chemotherapeutic drugs, which can be delivered to the tumour site using the so-called Enhanced Permeation and... -
Singlet fission materials as active quantum dot ligands for photon multipliers
Our research aims to develop plastic films that change the colour of the light that passes through them, not by absorbing certain wavelengths of light, as a simple colour filter... -
Solid state processing of conjugated polymer-fullerene blends
Blends of fullerenes with conjugated polymers (CP), such as PCBM-P3HT blends, are being extensively investigated for polymer photovoltaic applications. We have been studying the...
