Bottlebrush polymers, backbone with long side chains, are very interesting regarding their architecture, which is different from well known linear polymers. Not only the...

This proposal would like SANS time to better understand the LAS phase diagram. This has been prompted by recent experiments which show the system is not fully understood under...

Lipopeptide surfactants are a group of interesting biosurfactants due to their natural origin and their high effectiveness at reducing interfacial tension. However, there is a...

In recent years we have had considerable success with the surface modification of amorphous and crystalline thermal plastic polymers using multi-end functional additives. In...

Porous materials impregnated with metal nanoparticles are extremely useful in catalysis, an industry that had a global turnover in 2010 of over three trillion dollars....

Recentely we have measured (RB 1620263) pressure dependence of phonon modes in both the protonated (H2O) and deuterated ice (D2O) (Fig. 2) at ambient, 0.3 kbar, 1.0 kbar and 1.6...

Here we wish to continue our investigation of sulfobetaine surfactants in which the charges on the zwitterionic headgroup are reversed compared to those on zwitterionic...

Objectives of this proposal aim to shed light on how adsorption processes such as protein A chromatography, used to purify biologics, affect protein propensity for aggregation....

Neutron scattering and in particular SESANS is able to give us excellent ensemble averaging of the optical properties of materials which exhibit structural colour. We plan to...

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

In this work, we will examine the dopant site location, and Li distribution in cubic and In/Al doped La3Zr2Li7O12, which have been shown to display high Li ion conductivities...

As a new group of synthetic biosurfactants, the acyl-L-carnitines offer potential for different applications including working as edible biocides. Whilst extensive studies have...

Protein–water interactions establish and shape the thermodynamic landscape that governs the folding, structure, stability, mechanics and activity of proteins, and thus...

Surfactants are used in everyday cleaning products. In the absence of oil (grease) and above a critical concentration the surfactant forms a micelle. Often fragrances are added...

Nimrod is a unique instrument that bridges atomic resolution solution scattering with small angle scattering. The opportunity therefore exists to probe both the microscopic...

Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are stable compounds and commercially desirable. They are widely used, for example, as surfactants in textile and paper products and in aqueous...
