Structural Observation of the Self-Assembly Kinetics of Cyclic Peptide Nanotubes
Cyclic peptides with alternating side chain stereochemistry are capable of self-assembling into long nanotubes. The conjugation of polymers to these peptides renders the... -
SANS from photoconductive hydrogel mixtures and their gelators.
Hydrogels are formed from a self?assembled network of fibres made up of small molecules (gelators) trap and hold water at just 1% by weight, or less, from the solution they are... -
Structures of Gel Precursors of Nanoporous Materials
Our aim is to examine the structures of disordered gel precursors to nanoporous zeolites that are formed in the early stages of hydrothermal reactions. They are considered to be... -
Characterisation of Zeolite Precursor Gels Over Wide Q Range
Our objective is to determine new structural information about the structure of amorphous silicate gels formed early in the synthesis of crystalline, microporous zeolites. This... -
Assessing a potential method to form kinetically trapped, self-assembling nan...
Cyclic peptide-polymer conjugates can readily self-assembly into long nanotubes, and are being extensively studied for drug delivery applications. Recently, using SANS and... -
Structures of Gel Precursors of Nanoporous Materials
Nanoporous zeolites are well-known materials with huge industrial and commercial application in important areas yet their crystallisation mechanism remains under great debate....
