Understanding the structure of sunscreen formulations: where does the active ...
The negative effects of exposure to ultraviolet rays, 290-400 nm, are well known. Long exposures to these rays often cause skin damage (e.g. skin burns, melanoma). Topical... -
Dynamics of in Poly(vinyl alcohol)-SiC Nanofiber Composite
Inorganic-organic hybrid nanocomposites are formed by incorporating inorganic nanoparticles in soft organic polymer matrices. The dynamics of the polymer can be affected due to... -
Ionic mobility in soggy sand electrolytes
Ionic liquids (ILs) are gaining increased interest as electrolytes given their thermal and chemical stability, wide electrochemical windows, and ionic conductivities. However,... -
Vibrational behaviour of confined water molecules in NaX faujasite as functio...
We propose to investigate the vibrational spectra of NaX faujasite as a function of hydration using simultaneous INS and Raman spectroscopy on TOSCA. Prior to the beamtime we... -
AOT stabilized aqueous ferrofluids
The aim of the experiment is to employ SANS to study the physical properties of a novel and very stable aqueous Fe3O4 ferrofluid system stabilized by the commercially available... -
Determination of high shear superstructures in poly (ethylene oxide)/silica d...
High shear in paints and emulsion is common during both processing and application. Spray coating, films rolling and mixing all contaain high shear states. We are interested in... -
Designing polymer therapeutics to diffuse through mucin
Progress in the development of nano-sized hybrid therapeutics and nano-sized drug delivery systems - "nanomedicines" - over the last decade has been remarkable. One key... -
Competitive and synergistic interactions in gel formation
The interactions of small molecules with Pluronic copolymers are of relevance to their numerous pharmaceutical, domestic, technological and industrial applications. Whereas the... -
Increasing Drug Solubilisation: Matching Drug Structure with Surfactant Hydro...
It is estimated that > 40% of new drug molecules are poorly water soluble. For many reasons, solubilisation in nonionic surfactant micelles is a favoured means of increasing... -
Structure of Petroleum Asphaltenes in Solution
Asphaltenes are the heaviest end of crude oil and are responsible for a multitude of engineering challenges. They can precipitate from the oil, depositing, blocking pipelines... -
Stabilization of anisotropic pigment particles: Reflectivity
We wish to determine the effect of various stabilisers on anisotropic pigment particles that are being developed for use in liquid crystal composites. We will investigate the... -
