The aim is to improve understanding of solution properties and aggregation of hydrotropes and alkyl¿hydrotropes, and the relationship with common surfactants. Although they are...

This proposal seeks to identify and characterise the adsorption of primary linear amides that adsorb to the surface from the bulk of a polymer melt. These layers are...

This proposal is part of a broad programme of collaborative research between RAL / Oxford and Unilever, using predominantly scattering techniques to investigate the nature of...

Very recently (April) we undertook a SANS experiment (RB1110147) to probe the partitioning of metal-acac ligand complexes in complex microemulsion media. Our aim was to design a...

Incorporation of d- or f-block metals into ligand systems that renders a metal complex surface active or drives its partitioning into surfactant phases enables the localisation...

This proposal concerns a novel approach to phase separation in self-assembling colloidal systems. Microemulsions can be readily formulated to display critical-type phase...

In this proposal we wish to continue our current work on mesostructured inorganic films in largely ethanolic solutions, containing limited amounts of water. Transition metal...

The proposal aims to determine the degree of interfacial mixing and roughness at an interface between two conjugated polymers, as part of a broder program to understand how to...

Stabilised bismuth oxides are of interest as intermediate temperature solid electrolytes for a variety of electrochemical device applications. Lead doping into bismuth yttrate...

Phenomena surrounding the wetting of natural or artificial topographically patterned surfaces are found systems associated with the diverse fields of chemical engineering,...

The proposal aims to explore different self-assembly structures in CO2 with the focus of developing viscosity modifiers for supercritical CO2 (sc-CO2). This is part of a...

This proposal builds on recent work with hydrotropes alone (Langmuir, 2011, 27, 12346-12353); now co-micellisation of hydrotropes with surfactants will be investigated. The aim...

Incorporation of d- or f-block metals into ligand systems that renders a metal complex surface active or drives its partitioning into surfactant phases enables the localisation...

The aim is to employ contrast variation CV-SANS to investigate structure in novel systems used to generate metal-containing nanoparticles on organic solvents by UV irradiation....

This proposal aims to exploit the superior flux on the upgraded HRPD coupled with the intrinsic high resolution to correlate the magnetic structure and the crystal structure of...

This proposal is a continuation of our recent proposal RB 610004 where this partcurrent measurements) was not completed due to the reduced beam intensity. Currents experiment...

Incorporation of d- or f-block metals into ligand systems that renders a metal complex surface active or drives its partitioning into surfactant phases enables the localisation...

The aim is to investigate and understand interactions of hydrotropes (primitive amphiphiles) with a new range of industrially important non-ionic surfactants, alkyl-capped...

Surfactant systems responsive to pH, temperature, CO2, and light are known. Our new work has shown for the first time, magneto-responsive surfactants (also being ionic liquids...

This proposal aims to investigate the evolution of the structures of layered oxysulfide materials which show promise as lithium ion battery electrodes. The lithiation of...
