In Situ Inelastic Neutron Scattering Studies of Gas-Loaded Porous Framework S...
In the coming year, we plan to build upon the success of last cycle, by carrying out more hydrocarbon studies of this porous material NOTT-300 and one of its iso-structural... -
Powder diffraction studies under high deuterium pressure
The aims of the experiment are (1) to obtain structural data for the model hydrogen storage intermetallic LaNi5 under a deuterium pressure of 3000 bar at cryogenic temperatures,... -

Vacancy clusters and local magnetic structure of wüstite, Fe(1-x)O
The nature and distribution of vacancy defects in wüstite, Fe(1-x)O, is an important problem because the structural and dynamical properties of the mineral - both of which are... -
Model anionic/non ionic surfactant adsoption at the interface below room temp...
An experiment performed on INTER last year found extreme non ideal mixing between C12E8/SLES3 at the air water interface: this feature became more extreme as the temperature... -
Simultaneous INS and Raman Spectroscopy of Hydrogen Bonded Single Component O...
In this proposal I plan to investigate two similar types of single component ferroelectrics, CBDC and PhMDA, using simultaneous INS and Raman spectroscopy to understand the... -
Purothionins Perturb Bacterial Membrane Function via Ion Channel Formation
Purothionins are a family of cationic cystiene rich plant defence proteins which have been shown to have a wide spectrum of activity due their ability to permeate cellular... -
Is Zeolite Deactivation Through Pore Blocking?
Zeolites are porous framework materials that have active catalytic sites inside narrow channels. Unwanted reactions create coke in the pores which may block access to the active... -
Surface modification in heteropolymer blends.
In recent years we have had considerable success with the surface modification of amorphous and crystalline thermal plastic polymers using multi-end functional additives. In... -
Adsorption maxima at the solid/liquid interface
Adsorption maxima have been reported for adsorption at the hydrophilic solid/water interface based on measurements on powders and solution analysis. Many would claim that this... -
Molecular interactions between phospholipid monolayers and dimethylsulphoxide
Neutron reflectivity will be employed to investigate the interaction between dimethylsulphoxide and monomolecular films of phosphatidylcholine. The monolayer will be used as a... -
THE IMPACT OF HYDROGEN-BONDING CONTACTS ON THE PROPERTIES OF ALKYLAMMONIUM PR...
Ionic liquids are of interest to chemistry and material sciences because of their designerproperties. The protic ionic liquids are excellent proton carriers in fuel cell... -
Composition of model binary surfactant mixtures at the solid/liquid interface
The adsorption at the silica water (both hydrophilic) interface of anionics can be induced by the addition of non ionics, the degree of which provides information on the surface... -
The Novel Quenching and Partitioning (Q&P) Heat-treatment Process
Q&P heat-treatments typically consist of an ¿Austenitisation - Interrupted Quench ¿ Partition ¿ Final Quench¿ heat treatment process. During the partitioning stage carbon... -
Exploring the Catalytic Pathway of Butane Isomerisation
The petrochemical industry accounts for a large proportion of global chemical industry, as such even subtle improvements in product yield can result in significant economic and... -
Di-chain sulfobetaine monolayers at the air-solution interface
Here we wish to continue our investigation of sulfobetaine surfactants in which the charges on the zwitterionic headgroup are reversed compared to those on zwitterionic... -
Continuation: Metastable Water Ice and Nitric Acid ¿ observing the phase changes
Nitric acid plays important roles in the atmosphere, in all aggregate states and combined with water.During the last periode we were running the proposal RB1110207 "Metastable... -
The effect of strain-path on the anisotropy of a dual phase steel
Steels often have anisotropic mechanical properties due to texture or internal stress generated by deformation. Recently it has become desirable to control this anisotropy, to... -
Does spinodal dewetting proceed by peristalsis?
We shall demonstrate the use of neutron reflectometry to obtain three-dimensional structures in a non-invasive experiment. Spinodal dewetting is one of the few areas where... -
Do hydroxyl radicals penetrate the organic monolayer at the air-water interface?
The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important climatic effects....
