The behaviour of multiple polymers in competition for colloidal silica has previously been investigated in our group using solvent relaxation nuclear magnetic resonance. We...

Nanoemulsions (NE) i.e. nanoparticles containing a fluid lipid or oil dispersed in water and stabilized by a surfactant particles have attracted considerable attention as...

In this proposal we will investigate hypothesized asymmetric diffusion of water into lipid cubic (QII) phases. This asymmetric diffusion, which is relevant to the behavior of...

An eggshell membrane polypeptide is highly surface active and effective at emulsion stabilization. We explore how to use SANS to study the interfacial layers surrounding the...

Complexes prepared from cationic, dichain lipid (L) vesicles and negatively charged siRNA (R), with and without positively chargely targeting peptides (P) known as LR or LPR...

The consumer demands for functional food have increased the interest for encapsulation of bioactive compounds in the food industry. Encapsulation is crucial, since these...

The self-assembly of (cyclic peptide)-polymer conjugates provide a versatile and functional platform for the precise design of polymeric supramolecular nanotubes. Moving the...

We will use time-resolved SANS measurements to follow the self-assembly kinetics of insulin from protein monomers to fibrils. By measuring through a well-defined lag phase we...

This proposal would like SANS time to better understand the LAS phase diagram. This has been prompted by recent experiments which show the system is not fully understood under...

Building from experimental kinetic work already carried out, we will investigate the initial steps in the assembly mechanism of gemini surfactants that form fibrous gels in...

We propose to study an effect of uniaxial pressure on a magnetic structure of triangular antiferromagnet PdCrO2. The experiment will mark a technical milestone in development of...

This projects aims to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between processing conditions, active layer morphology and device performance in polymer solar...

We request two days’ beam time on SANS2D for the study of radiation-grafted anion-exchange membranes, both dry and hydrated under different ratios of D2O/H2O. These materials...

This collaborative study with the chemical engineering groups from University of Innsbruck, Austria and Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece is part of this large EU...

Acquired multidrug resistance (MDR) in pathogenic microbials is a world-wide threat to human health. Several MarR–like proteins regulate the expression of efflux pumps, which...

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...

Results from this experiment will help develop to design 21st century surfactants (better performance with lower environmental consequences) by gaining essential information on...

Most of the energy that we gain from the breakdown of sugars and other fats is harnessed by mitochondria, the 'power plants' of our cells. However,, specialised cells in some...

Understanding the nature of protein translocating events through bacterial pores offers an uniqueopportunity to develop novel drug delivery systems, whilst also providing...

We would like to use SANS to explore the mechanism for preparation and properties of cylindrical micelles. We hope to obtain key information relating to the growth mechanism...
