As part of a larger programme we aim to test densely-packed binary mixtures of monodisperse hard sphere powders to determine local structure, to correlate with ratio of...

We intend to study the phase separation morphology of confined polymer blends. Interface forces will impose morphologies different from those in the bulk. In our experiments the...

Highly ordered dispersions of charged polymer particles that are tens or hundreds of nanometres diameter can be prepared. These are useful model systems for self-assembly and...

This proposal is part 2 of a set of two proposals on Offspec aimed at understanding some of the effects seen in off-specular data and in particular the use of the spin echo...

We propose to continue our investigation on LET of the Shastry-Sutherland compound SrCu2(BO3)2. The first part of the experiment aims to establish the Q-dependence, which will...

Water-based drilling fluids are increasingly being used for oil and gas exploration. Unfortunately, their use leads to clay swelling which occurs in exposed sedimentary rocks...

The proposal is to use previous established neutron reflection methods to observe the smectic layers that form at the surface of a nematic liquid crystal. In this proposal we...

Nanoporous membranes fabricated by polymerization around soluble templates have found many applications in (bio)sensors, charge storage devices, filtration and catalysis....

The relationship between spin fluctuations and superconductivity is an important issue in condensed matter physics. Part of evidence suggesting direct correlation between spin...

Surfactant templated silicates are formed by the polymerization of silica around surfactant micelles in solution. Our previous SANS experiments show development of the initial...
