The transcriptome profiles of S. cerevisiae S288C and ScL1 knockout strain cultured under normal conditions</p><p>The transcriptome profiles of S. pombe 972h- and...

Recent SAXS measurements have indicated that CO2 can dramatically swell the surfactant layer in w/o microemulsions formed in CO2-swollen oils and also enhance solubilisation...

This proposal continues our studies of surfactant micelles using NIMROD, to obtain previously inaccessible details of headgroup-ion interactions. In our previous experiments...

Thermoelectric devices enable the conversion of thermal energy into electrical power. The development of new materials is essential to enable large scale implementation of...

The excellent high temperature properties of Ni-base superalloys are derived from the presence of fine precipitates of the intermetallic Ni3Al phase, termed gamma prime. The...

We have been studying the formation of solid polymer-surfactant films formed from cationic surfactants with PEI. We wish to use the highly organised mesostructures formed in the...

We request 3 days’ beam time on POLARIS for in-situ powder diffraction studies of the reactions of lithium amide or lithium imide with manganese(IV) oxide under flowing argon or...

Acyl L-Carnitines are a group of novel surfactants with attractive physical and biological properties associated with their head group charge features. This work proposes to use...

Ammonia is seen as a key part of the transition to a sustainable energy economy, but needs decomposition catalysts to release its stored hydrogen. Lithium nitride-hydride...

Marine biofouling compromises function and reliability of marine equipment, causing considerable economic and environmental damage. Biocides for fouling prevention are...

In the context of home and personal care products, studying surfactant and mixed surfactant adsorption ion model solid surfaces, which mimic real surfaces such as fabrics, hair...

NOx emissions from the energy and transport sectors represent a major hazard to human health and this has been the focus of significant industrial and academic research. One of...

CeNbO4+d (0 <= d <= 0.33) displays mixed ionic-electronic conductivity at ~800 °C, where it adopts the tetragonal scheelite structure. Prior research has shown that...

The biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce reliance on palm and crude oil derived materials, demand that Home and Personal Care industries develops...

Ethanol plays an important role in the human metabolism. It is in particular known to act as a drug enhancer by increasing trans-membrane permeability, and as an anesthetic....

Amphiphilic linear surfactants based on PEO and PPO triblock copolymers, known as Pluronics, exhibit a rich polymorphism and have been extensively studied for their applications...

Membranes of cells are the physical barrier between the inside and outside of the cell. Transport and signaling is control by transport and signaling proteins but their ability...

Cooling down a liquid at ambient pressure all except Helium attain a solid state. If a crystalline state is reached a dramatic change in long range order occurs manifesting the...

We wish to exploit the unique capability of Nimrod to move forward the long standing issue of the way in which long chain polymers crystallise. There are two key length scales:...

Due to the importance of developing efficient biomass conversion processes, the mobility of lignin constituents phenol and catechol in zeolite Beta will be studied using QENS....
