The collagens are the most abundant proteins in mammalian systems, comprising up to 25% of human proteins. Their three-stranded triple helix structures are a major determinant...

Approved proposal under the ICRD Scheme Proposal ICRD0005

We propose to carry out a small angle scattering experiment on LOQ or SANS2D on a frustrated Ising chain system. SrHoCrO6 is based on ferromagnetic chains arranged on a...

The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of different stimuli on a novel iron oxide core shell nanoparticles. The system is composed of a magnetite core with a...

The project aims to probe the relationship between surfactant structure, the micelles formed in solution, and the type of drug molecules that the micelles solubilise. Once...

The research topic is encapsulation of a hydrophobic drug, flurbiprofen, using novel amphiphilic graft copolymers (AGCs). The AGCs of interest are shown in Figure 1: Preliminary...

The process of cell division requires precise duplication of the genetic material. The separation of the two strands of DNA and the progression of the replisome are driven by...

We have been studying the solution interactions leading to formation of solid polymer-surfactant films at the air-solution interface. We wish to use the mesostructures in the...

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...

The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin B (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents. The successful development of...

Aggregates of the cationic conjugated polyelectrolyte (CPE) HTMA-PFP with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) will be studied in aqueous solutions using SANS. Previous fluorescence,...

Janus particles, bearing two distinct compositions on the surface of the same particle, have attracted much attention recently as a way to finely tune morphology and...

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are molecular mixtures with melting points below room temperature. DES share many features of ionic liquids (low vapour pressure, adjustable...

Replication protein A (RPA), the eukaryotic ssDNA binding protein, is a heterotrimeric protein required for almost all aspects of cellular DNA metabolism. RPA binds...

Nascent 'disentangled' block copolymers of Ultra-high Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) with a reduced number of entanglements were synthesized having protonated (hPE) and...

Coacervation is an electrostatically-driven liquid-liquid phase separation process, resulting from the association of oppositely charged macro-ions. In this framework,...

Polyurethane foams (PUF) are commonly prepared by mixing Pluronic type copolymers and isocyanate reactive monomers in the presence of additives e.g. catalysts, blowing agents...

Addition of multivalent salts to water soluble polyelectrolytes, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC), induces conformational change to the polyelectrolyte structure,...

Please ignore. This is just for setting up ERAs ready for the Neutron Training Course.

N-acyl amino acids are surfactants with attractive applications in different technological fields. They are referred to as mild surfactants because they are commonly considered...
