Probing Water Structure in the Hydration layer around Poly(ethylene glycol)
Water is the source of life, but the effects of hydration water on the conformation change and function of biological and bio-compatible macromolecules are still full of... -
QENS analysis of industrially relevant small pore zeolites
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... -
QENS studies of nanostructured hydrides
The search for a light, high-capacity hydrogen store continues. Ammonia borane (AB) is a complex hydride with excellent hydrogen capacity, of which half desorbs at moderate... -
Total Neutron Scattering Measurements of Supercritical CO2 Injection in Carbo...
Carbon dioxide is a commonly used fluid in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). CO2 EOR process can contribute to the minimisation of the impact of greenhouse gas emission by keeping... -
QENS Study of Proton Diffusion in Metal-Organic Framework Materials
The development of new functional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as complex proton conductor is receiving increasing attention worldwide. We aim to develop new solid proton... -
QENS studies of the ammines of magnesium chloride
The ammoniates of simple salts, such as MgX2 (X=Cl, Br, I), known as ammines, have attracted much interest recently as they offer potential as both hydrogen and ammonia storage... -
Characterisation of intermediates in the production of eta-caprolactam
The commercially important polymer Nylon 6 is manufactured by ring-opening polymerization of eta-caprolactam. Industrially, eta-caprolactam is made by the Beckmann rearrangement... -
