Hydrotalcites are anionic clays which have a variety of applications, including use as environmentally friendly catalysts and catalyst precursors. In this experiment we propose...

We have synthesised alkyl phosphorylcholine (CnPC) surfactants in hydrogenated and deuterated form and have determined their solution aggregation using SANS. In this part of...

Solid oral dosage forms consist of polymer layer encapsulated drug-bound particles with a desired drug release profile e.g. pulsatile, controlled, delayed and targeted,...

The aim of this proposal is to develop a methodology to investigate multicomponent glass structure, combining neutron diffraction, XRD, NMR, ab initio MD, and RMC. We wish to...

Ever-more stringent environmental regulations have driven the automotive industry to continuously develop lightweight solutions in automotive body sheet materials, without...

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

Interface effects, including proximity induced magnetisation (PIM), play an import role in many spintronic devices employing heavy metal/ferromagnetic/heavy metal structures....

This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the solution aggregation of collagen based polypeptides and their interactions with model surfactants....

Lipopeptide surfactants are highly effective at reducing interfacial tension. However, there is a general lack of understanding of the relationship between their molecular...

Organic solar cells (OPVs) are photovoltaic devices that can convert the energy from sunlight into electricity and have attracted much attention as a viable green energy source...

We propose to use instruments SXD and WISH to carry out a detailed feasibility study of neutron protein crystallography at ISIS. Since one of the major impediments to protein...

The exceptional high temperature mechanical properties of Ni-base superalloys has resulted in their widespread use in high temperature applications. These alloys conventionally...

A number of important biological processes, such as intracellular transport and signal transduction depend on the viscosity and the distribution of microdomains in cells. We...

Producing meat analogue instead of real meat is an effective way to reduce carbon emission and improve animal welfare. Calcium caseinate is a prominent candidate for making a...

Graphene has recently received widespread attention, after the discovery of its stability as a 2Dcrystal at ambient conditions and thanks to a wealth of possible applications....

Polymer-based electronics have attracted huge interest due to their wide applicability to light emitting diodes, field effect transistors and photovoltaics. The aim of our...

This SANS experiment was proposed by 4 PhD students from 3 different institutions in a Marie-Curie Training Network. They are all in the second year of their PhD and their...

Lithium batteries provide the highest energy density which makes them ideal candidates for future generations of portable electronics and electric vehicles. The increasing...

Polymer stabilized lipid nanodiscs offer enormous potential as tools for enabling membrane protein structural studies & biophysics. Previously we studied discs formed using...
