Cationic surfactants adsorbed to titanium dioxide-effect of pH and added elec...
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is used in a wide range of applications from medical and dental implants to treatment of contaminated air and water streams. However many of the... -
Neutron scattering to characterise protein interactions with solid-liquid int...
Objectives of this proposal aim to shed light on how adsorption processes such as protein A chromatography, used to purify biologics, affect protein propensity for aggregation.... -
Effect of Temperature on the Transbilayer Structure of a Model Erythrocyre Me...
In recent years, it has become understood that rather than being homogenous mixtures, biomembranes show a complex phase behaviour, with regions of uniform phases, and others... -
Shear driven assembly of magnetic nanoparticles close to a solid-liquid inter...
Ferro-fluids are liquids where magnetic nano-particles are dispersed in a solvent and are covered with surfactants to prevent clustering. If a magnetic field is applied to such... -
Interfacial conformation of antibody and antigen binding capacity
Antibody-antigen binding has been extensively used in many technological applications such as immunoassays, chemical analysis and bionanotechnology. The crucial element... -
calcite water interface
The interface of CaCO3 (calcite) and water is of paramount importance in a number of key academic and industrial areas, including scale deposition in domestic and industrial... -
Structural studies of thermo-responsive nanogels at the oil-water interface
Nanogels because of their three-dimensional physical structure and tunable chemical properties as well as their stimuli-responsive nature have emerged as one of the most... -
Ligand induced changes of the 18kDa translocator protein in a lipid bilayer
The proposed experiments will investigate conformational changes of the 18kDa translocator protein (TSPO) in a lipid bilayer using neutron reflectometry at the solid-liquid... -
Interfacial properties of a lung protein after exposure to gas-phase ozone
Lung surfactant protein B, SP-B, is found at the air-water interface of the lung. A deficiency in SP-B at birth is known to be fatal. We have recently successfully studied the... -
Dye...TiO2 interfacial structure of working electrodes in dye-sensitized sola...
The transparent and low-cost nature of dye-sensitised solar cells (DSCs) affords them niche prospects for electricity-generating windows in buildings for energy-sustainable... -
Effect of calcium ions and ionic strength on model bilayer structure
Calcium ions have been shown in a preliminary experiment to have a dramatic effect on the thickness and structure of free supported bilayer films. In this proposal we... -
A PNR study of cobalt nitride films for spin injection and spin engineering a...
We propose to study cobalt nitride films using PNR with a view to their use in spin injection & spin engineering applications. Such systems have had little attention in the... -
Study of Small molecule effects on AB interactions with model lipid layer by ...
Neutron reflectometery will be used to provide the vital information about the interaction/conformation of the organophosphonate compound on the lipid structure in the... -
Introducing the O-antigen in Bacterial Outer Membrane in vitro Models Pt. III...
The Gram negative bacterial outer membrane protects the bacterium from external toxins such as antibiotics. This is partially responsible for Gram negative bacteria becoming the... -
Interplay of apoptosis regulating Bcl-2 proteins at mitochondrial membranes u...
Mitochondria are not only the powerhouse of the cell, but are also involved in cellular suicide via apoptosis (programmed cell death). This pathway is a major regulator in cell... -

Pd, Ni, V, Nb and Ti capping layer clamping effects in hydrogen cycling in Ca...
We ask for 8 days of beam time on CRISP to study the absorption and desorption of hydrogen and deuterium in Ti/Mg/Pd trilayer samples. Our specific objective is to understand in... -
Diffusion Kinetics in Multilayer Organic Films for OLEDs
Conjugated organic semiconductors form an exciting class of materials that can be used in a variety of cutting edge technologies including organic light-emitting diodes (OLED),... -
The interaction of oxidatively damaged lung proteins with anionic lipids
Lung surfactant protein B, SP-B, interacts with lipids at the air-water interface of the lung where its presence is vital for correct respiratory function. SP-B and its... -
Surface charge induced layering of ionic liquids on mica
The structure of ionic liquids at charged interfaces is an exciting and vibrant area of current research. Previous surface force apparatus experiments have shown layering up to...
