Cationic surfactant self-assembly in choline chloride:malonic acid deep eutec...
Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are mixtures of organic salts and hydrogen bond donors, that form strongly hydrogen-bonded room temperature ionic liquids (ILs). DES share many... -
Solventless protein liquids: a novel form of biological matter
Solventless protein liquids (SPLS) represent a novel form of biological matter. Recently we reported on the preparation and properties of a solvent-free liquid protein based on... -
Gelatin scaffolds from marine species: Physical gels and enzymatically cross-...
Hydrogels from biopolymers are attracting increasing attention for a range of biomedical applications, but the lack of structural understanding hinders the development of new... -
Oil disperse phospholipid stabilised microemulsions prepared using non-aqueou...
It is the aim of the proposal is to perform small angle neutron scattering (SANS) studies combined with contrast variation to determine the size and structure of the... -
Structure of hyaluronic acid solutions from dilute to concentrated regime
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a biopolymer naturally occurring in many biological systems, including the human body with vital roles in the eye, skin and joints due to its unique... -
Opening up microemulsion phases in CO2
New types of water-in-CO2 microemulsions using mixed surfactant systems will be investigated by high-pressure SANS (HP-SANS). Exciting new results (see report on RB820030) have... -
Metal ion induced condensation of anionic fluorine-based conjugated polyelect...
In the proposed experiments we aim to characterise the structures of aggregate species formed when divalent metal ions, such as calcium(II), interact with the anionic conjugated... -
Investigating the structure of modular ionogels for catalysis, biocatalysis, ...
Ionogels are a new class of soft matter that have only really become subject of detailed research in the past decade. As a result, much of the contemporary literature is still...
