Characterisation of structure for the determination of liquid thermodynamic c...
This proposal is a continuation of prior combined NMR, SANS and diffraction measurements to characterise templated silicas, as part of a program to inform the behaviour of... -
SANS Study of the interaction of non-ionic surfactants with wheat and barley ...
We propose to make use of SANS to determine the influence the presence of cuticular plant waxes have on the size, shape and structural properties of various non-ionic... -
Effect of End Group on RAFT-Polymers for Lipid Nanodisc Stabilisation
Polymer stabilized lipid nanodiscs offer enormous potential as tools for enabling membrane protein structural studies & biophysics. Previously we studied discs formed using... -
Gold-loaded microgels
Recent results show that gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) can be included into microgels (MGs). UV-visible spectra (Figure 1) suggest the original Au-NP sols retain their size and... -
Uptake of pristine C60 into micelles formed by an alkyl-C60 hydrophobic amphi...
The ability of micelles of C60-containing hydrophobic amphiphiles to incorporate pristine C60 will be explored. Contrast variation SANS (CV-SANS) will be employed to fully... -
A dynamical and structural study of confined Methane Hydrate by SE-QENS, SE-S...
Bulk samples of methane hydrate at cryogenic temperatures have been shown to contain methane in the hydrate cage that is nearly in a state of free rotation. There is an interest... -
Interaction of polypeptides with surfactants: aqueous solution aggregation
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding how collagen based polypeptides interact with ionic surfactants using SANS. Both SDS and C12TAB will be... -
Solution aggregation of short peptide surfactants
Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly to lead to interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation....
