Neutron reflectivity of self-assembled Janus Nanoparticles
Here we propose to study the Janus character of self-assembled amphiphilic nanoparticles. For that amphiphilic core-shell nanoparticles will be synthesized with a surface... -
Fundamentals of Nanotoxicity: The Role of Nanoparticles in Lowering the Energ...
Despite the increasing use of nanoparticles (NPs), our current knowledge of how NPs interact with the human body or the environment remains limited. Of a number of mechanisms, a... -
A Study of AuMu^+ Final States by Dia RF Resonance
Small-sized metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of long standing interest to both magnetism and heterogeneous catalysis. Muon studies of Au NPs encapsulated in 'SBA-15' silica are... -
Does tethered PEG behave as a typical polymer brush at the solid-liquid inter...
We propose to make neutron reflectivity measurements of hydrophillic polymers covalently attached, via thiol chemistry, to the gold-water interface. In particular, we will... -

The use of INS to characterise prototype methane reforming catalysts over a r...
Previous work by the experimental team has successfully examined methane reforming catalysts using CO2 as the oxidant. Unfortunately, the progression to using steam as the... -
Crystallographic determination of the minting of coins in Tudor Britain : an ...
King Henry VIII's flagship, the Mary Rose, offers a unique insight into Tudor life. As well as her value as one of the first purpose built warships of the modern period,... -
Kinetics and growth mode of aggregation phenomena inside polymer brushes
We will use time-resolved specular neutron reflectivity measurements to follow the in-situ growth of polymer brushes by surface-initiated ATRP. This will enable us to determine... -
Probing the interaction of hydrogen with supported gold nanoparticles
Small gold nanoparticles (1-5 nm) supported on metal oxides are extremely active catalysts for C-C coupling, aerobic oxidations and selective hydrogenations. The interaction of... -

Higher resolution inspection of the hydrocarbon pool connected with the metha...
The reaction of methanol to form hydrocarbons over zeolite catalysts is an important option for conversion of natural gas or coal to liquid fuels. We have shown previously via... -
Assembly of functionalized nanoparticles at fluid interfaces
To try to understand the variation in surface tension as a function of functionalized gold nanoparticle particle and SDS concentration, we will make measurements of the specular... -
The correlation of metallography with neutron diffraction for Indo-Persian ar...
Our long-term aim is a detailed study of the manufacture of wootz (the so-called Damascus steel)a high-C% cast steel which was very slowly cooled and very carefully forged so as... -
Identification of Hidden Coins from an Egyptian site
The application of neutron based techniques in the field of archaeology is quite recent. In particular, the development of neutron tomography and its application on cultural... -
Polymer conjugates for drug delivery
Complex polymer architectures such as comb polymers have been studied for their highly customisable chemical properties. Potential applications have been identified in a wide... -
Probing the structure of antibiotic-gold nanoparticle conjugates
In a one-pot synthesis, we are able to produce spherical gold nanoparticles capped with antibiotics, without the use of other chemicals by using the antibiotic as the reducing... -
