Solvation structure of propane/propene in [C4mim][NTf2] ionic liquid - II
There are great energy costs associated with the separation of the light olefins (ethylene and propylene) from mixed hydrocarbon gas feeds. These olefins (obtained from natural... -
Humidity Effects on Surface Segregation in Plasticized Poly-Vinyl Alcohol Films
PVA film is widely used as a non-toxic water soluble polymer. This proposal relates to its use in unit dose detergent pouches where plasticised PVA film stores a concentrated... -
A Total Scattering Study of Dopamine, L-DOPA and Norepinephrine Aqueous Solut...
We request 5 days on Sandals to study the interactions of the neurotransmitters dopamine, L-dihydroxyphenylalanine and norepinephrine in aqueous solution. The interactions of... -
Introducing the O-antigen into Bacterial Outer Membrane Models
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... -
Oxidation of gram-negative cell-wall proxy with OH radicals - kinetics and me...
Hydroxyl radicals may be used as disinfection agent in the advanced oxidation processes or tertiary treatment of waste and occasionally drinking water. In this exploratory work,... -
Neutron reflectivity study of phase separation in polymer-drug thin films
Nearly 40% of new chemical entries are poorly water-soluble. Drug encapsulation into water-soluble polymers is an active research area owing to the ability of improving drug... -

Interaction of Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL) with Model Mammalian Cell Membr...
Atherosclerosis and subsequent clinical complication is one of the biggest killers in the western world, with a death toll reaching 16.7 million deaths per year. Although many... -
Salts Dissolved in Salts: Ionic Liquid + inorganic salt mixtures
Ionic liquids (ILs) are low melting point organic salts that until recently were thought to have homogeneous microstructure. In recent SANDALS research,1 we showed pure ILs are... -
A study of the role of divalent cations in the stability of smooth LPS in out...
The Outer Membrane (OM) is found in bacteria which cause plague, cholera & Legionnaires disease. It is important as; a barrier to antibiotics & the site of... -
Model Amphiphilic Deep Eutectic Liquids
Deep eutectic liquids (DELs) - mixtures of high melting-point solids that form stable liquids near room temperature ¿ have recently emerged as a new class of novel solvents with... -
Probing Ion Binding to Micelles ¿ Investigating the Hofmeister Series
This proposal continues our research on ion binding to surfactant micelles. Our recent work demonstrates that the details of water structure around micelles are now accessible... -
Membrane interactions of virus-like silica nanoparticles as antimicrobial pep...
As a result of an increasing number of bacteria developing resistance against antibiotics, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are currently attracting significant interest. However,... -
Neutron Reflection Studies on Adsorption of Lauroyl-L-Carnitine (C12-L-Caniti...
Acyl L-Carnitines are a group of novel surfactants with attractive physical and biological properties associated with their head group charge features. This work proposes to use... -
Meso- and micro-structure of protic ionic liquid / methanol mixtures
Protic ionic liquids (PILs) are an interesting sub-class of room temperature ionic liquids. They differ from conventional, a protic ionic liquids, because of the major role... -
Investigation of phosphatidylcholine and its interaction with 1,2 propandiol ...
The aim of the present study is to use neutron diffraction enhanced with isotopic substitution and subsequent computer simulations to determine the head group solvation of a...
