Effect of calcium ions and ionic strength on model bilayer structure
Calcium ions have been shown in a preliminary experiment to have a dramatic effect on the thickness and structure of free supported bilayer films. In this proposal we... -
Effect of temperature and strain mode on the strain partitioning and deformat...
Duplex stainless steels (DSS) are widely used in oil, nuclear and petrochemical industries due to their excellent mechanical and corrosion resistance properties. They are used... -
Cell-penetrating peptides interaction with model membranes
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are short cationic peptides that are efficiently taken up by cells. They are able to co-internalize therapeutic molecules into cells for... -
Q-dependence of the single particle motion in a molten alkali halide
An inelastic X-ray investigation on the collective inelastic dynamics of molten NaCl revealed the remarkable result that the acoustic-like dynamics is similar to the dispersion... -
Deformation mechanisms of a newly developed Ni-base superalloy at cryogenic t...
Haynes 282 is a novel Ni-base superalloy, combining excellent weldability and general processability with moderate cost. As such, it is very promising for e.g. industrial gas... -
Adsorption of multicomponent biosurfactant / surfactant mixtures at the air-w...
This proposal is part of a collaboration between Oxford and Ulster Universities and Unilever, on the development of sustainable laundry detergents, using a blend of conventional... -
Tuning confinement potential of spinons in an Ising chain using magnetic fields
The Ising chain realises the fundamental paradigm of spin fractionalization, where locally flipping a spin creates two kinks (spinons) that can separate away at no energy cost,...
