Phase separation of hydrocarbon-fluorocarbon surfactants at the air/water int...
Off-specular neutron reflection beamtime is requested to study phase separation at the air/water interface. Stability of systems, such as polymers, is a major area of interest... -
Copy of: An Investigation of Interfacial Structure of Pluronics at Solid-Liqu...
Tri-block copolymers offer an excellent model system for the study of crystallization in the bulk as well as close to interfaces. It is known that the structures formed by this... -
Self-assembly of beta-casein and beta-casein / hydrophobin mixtures
Hydrophobins, hfb2, are secreted fungal proteins in the form of a small lipopeptide. They are strongly surface active and self-assemble in solution and at interfaces. They have... -
Comparison Phase-object approximation and dynamical scattering theory
X-ray, electron and neutron scattering techniques have been used for the structural characterization of surfaces and embedded morphologies. Several theories have been developed... -
Testing the efficacy of the spin echo technique combined with the dynamical t...
The sensitivity of the Spin Echo Resolved Grazing Incidence Scattering (SERGIS) to scattering geometry and sample specifications has been tested at OFFSPEC on gratings with... -
Exploring the structure of charged colloids in periodic nano-confinements
Experiments have suggested that particles in a colloidal suspension tend to form layers close to confining walls but this conjecture is difficult to prove unambiguously.... -
Growth of silica-surfactant particles during surfactant-templated silica synt...
Surfactant templated silicates are formed by the polymerization of silica around surfactant micelles in solution. Our previous SANS experiments show development of the initial... -
Neutron diffraction from polyunsaturated multibilayer membranes containing a ...
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential dietary fats that have been proposed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular and auto-immune diseases, arthritis and cancer. PUFA... -
Determining the membrane binding structure of drug-delivery polymers
This proposal seeks to investigate a class of synthetic membrane-active biopolymers which have been developed as potential drug-delivery agents. These polymers have shown pH-... -
A SESANS study of the structures of bile salts-polymer complexes that facilit...
Nearly 40% new drugs are poorly water-soluble.To achieve good oral absorption of these compounds, solubilisation in the gut fluid is extremely important.Water-soluble polymers... -
Surface segregation and topographical excitation in stoichiometric polymer:fu...
We propose to study the kinetics and thermodynamics of polymer:fullerene composite association to provide insight into engineering increased efficiency organic photovoltaics....
