Structure of alkylated aza-crown ether inverse micelles
Ion transfer through fluid-fluid interfaces plays decisive roles in many natural and industrial processes. In studies of Cu(II) transport by Permeation Liquid Membrane (PLM)... -
SANS study of hollow nanoparticles and their solvent release
Hollow nanoparticles (HNP) have been successfully used for encapsulation and controlled release of biochemicals such as drugs, DNA, and dyes. However no in-situ method has been... -
Dynamics of amyloid protein fibril growth using isotope-labelled SANS
This proposal aims use a novel approach whereby deuterated amyloid peptide fibrils are givenhydrogenated growing ends, and analysed using SANS. The data will enable us to... -
Controlling the morphology of fullerene-free polymer solar cells using additi...
We have recently demonstrated, using small angle neutron scattering in combination with other techniques, that in organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) the additive... -
Interactions of Cationic Surfactants with Phospholipid Vesicles: Influence of...
Surfactants are frequently used in personal care products to improve the wetting and oil solubilizing qualities of the products, which also leads to the skin irritation by... -
Using SANS2D to resolve the opening of MscL clusters in proteoliposomes in re...
In bacteria, mechanosensitive ion channels such as MscL protect cells against osmotic shock. Although crucial for protecting cells, as with all ion channels, they have the... -
SANS studies of mixed phospholipid:sterol vesicles and their interaction with...
The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin B (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents that can circumvent the... -
Biomolecular Cryoprotection in Deep Eutectic Solvents
Protecting biomolecules, such as proteins and enzymes, from the effects of cooling and freezing is important for the storage and handling of pharmaceuticals. Deep eutectic... -
Surfactant aggregation in magnetic ionic liquids
This proposal aims to explore aggregation behavior of common surfactants in magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) and to investigate the effect of a magnetic field on aggregate size,... -
Co-assembly of gold nanoparticles with wormlike micelles
Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are attracting tremendous interest in nanotechnology due to their plasmonic properties, in particular the localized surface plasmon resonance effect... -
Structure and interactions in model and real anti-reflective coatings
This proposal seeks to exploit contrast variation SANS to study a multi-component system, spanning a wide range of colloidal length scales. The multi-component system under... -
Encapsulation of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Using Novel Pluronic G...
The research topic is encapsulation of a hydrophobic drug, flurbiprofen, using novel amphiphilic graft copolymers (AGCs). The AGCs of interest are shown in Figure 1: Preliminary... -
Binary colloidal mixtures - SANS contrast variation to study high concentrati...
Mixtures of colloidal particles of essentially two different sizes are commonly used in technological applications such as film formation on surfaces, paper coatings, etc.... -
SANS studies on the structures of non-ionic surfactant micelles with/without ...
SANS is about the only technique that can determine the size and shape of surfactant micelles and the subsequent changes upon pesticide solubilisation. The aim of this work is... -

SANS Investigation on Packing Structure of Proteasome Activator 28
Proteasome plays an important role in the processing of antigenenic proteins for presentation by the MHC class I pathway. PA28 is an activator of the 20S proteasome, a large... -
Film formation in macroRAFT latices studied by SANS
Latex is made from tiny polymer particles in water. Latex films are used in paints and to manufacture adhesives & inks. Latex is good for the environment, as it does not... -
Thin Water Layers
The aim of this proposal is to determine the thickness of a water layer surrounding colloidal particles dispersed in oil with changes in ionic strength. Recent work by our group... -
Micellization in glycerol:choline chloride deep eutectic solvent
Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are molecular mixtures with melting points below room temperature. DES share many features of ionic liquids (low vapour pressure, adjustable... -
Phase Behaviour of Colloidal Mixtures Under Shear
There are specific models about the influence of shear on mixtures that are distinctive from dspersions of unifom particles. Understanding the flow behaviour of mixtures of...
