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...

Carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC) is the most widely used cellulose derivative; it forms an anionic, water-soluble, polyelectrolyte with vast applications in the food,...

We propose to make use of SANS to determine the influence the presence of cuticular plant waxes have on the size, shape and structural properties of various non-ionic...

Recent results show that gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) can be included into microgels (MGs). UV-visible spectra (Figure 1) suggest the original Au-NP sols retain their size and...

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...

Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly to lead to interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation....

The understanding of the plant wax-surfactant interaction process is crucial to the development of more effective pesticide and fungicide formulations, essential for improving...

Polysiloxane materials are commonly used in marine coatings due to their inherently low surface energy and flexibility which makes them suitable base materials for foul release...

Over the last two decades, many polymers have been tested to increase CO2 viscosity for applications in enhanced oil recovery using CO2 (CO2-EOR). Unfortunately, conventional...

The understanding of the plant wax-surfactant interaction process is crucial to the development of more effective pesticide and fungicide formulations, essential for improving...

This experiment addresses an important, and still unresolved, question in the field CO2-philic surfactants: what is the minimum fluorine content necessary to obtain a CO2-philic...

Lithium ion batteries are the power source of choice for portable electrical devices owing to performance in terms of high specific capacity and reliability. Liquid electrolyte...

There is exciting potential for SANS to resolve an important problem in homogeneous catalyst chemistry. The Pd-chiral catalyst 1+ below has significant pan-industrial potential...

Lipid bicontinuous cubic phases are self-assembled three dimensional lattices, consisting of a single periodic bilayer interwoven by two independent water channels. They can be...

Thermoresponsive gels are widely used for tissue engineering and drug delivery applications. They consist of a thermoresponsive polymer that self-assembles in a 3D network when...
