We plan to use the OFFSPEC SPIN-Echo reflectometer to study the mechanism of the 'peristaltic mode' in the spinodal dewetting of thin polymer films. In the peristaltic mode the...

To date complexes prepared from vesicles composed of dichain, cationic lipids (L) with negatively charged DNA (D), known as LD complexes have emerged as one of the major...

Complexes prepared from cationic, dichain lipid (L) vesicles, positively chargely targeting peptides (P) and negatively charged DNA (D) or siRNA (R), known as LPDs and LPRs...

Advantages of using organic materials as the active layer in photovoltaics include their suitability for low cost and large area processes and their mechanical flexibility. In...

Zwitterionic lipids such as phosphatidylcholine (PC) are major components of the membranes that compartmentalize organisms. Although there is a large literature on PC, cationic...

We propose to look at the interaction of the aggregates two phospholipids form with two phospholipase (PL) enzymes, PLA2 and PLC, which hydrolyse different ester groups in the...

Using conjugated polymers as the active materials in electronic and optoelectronic devices opens up the possibility of fabricating all-polymer devices, such as active matrix...

More than four decades ago A. F. Andreev predicted theoretically the existence of quantum statesof 3He atoms on free surface of liquid 4He . In other words, at low temperatures,...

Gene delivery vehicles, known as LPD complexes, prepared from mixing cationic lipid vesicles (L) with cationic peptide (P) and DNA (D) have proven to be very effective at...

Nanoporous membranes are widely used in (bio)sensors, chromatography, charge storage devices, filtration and catalysis. With increasing efforts to develop microfabricated sytem-...

Complexes prepared from cationic, dichain lipid (L) vesicles and negatively charged siRNA (R), with and without positively chargely targeting peptides (P) known as LR or LPR...

We propose to study the formation of lateral features during insulin amyloid formation on polymer substrates using off-specular neutron reflectivity. This will be done by...

Spin echo small-angle neutron scattering (SESANS) beamtime is requested to study the growth of polymer nanolatices in novel microemulsion systems. The natural incompatibility of...
