Polymer displacement by surfactant at colloidal interface
The interactions of neutral polymers with surfactants have a key role in detergency and are systems of current academic and commercial interest. Here, we propose to study the... -
Zwitterion doped PEDOT:PSS bulk morphology modification as a function of dopi...
We propose to use SANS to study the intra-particle information (size, shape, interactions) of pristine and zwitterion doped PEDOT:PSS in order to have a better understanding of... -
Structure of Colloidal Titania Particles in Water vs Organic Solvent
Dye sensitised solar cells, based around colloids of the wide bandgap semiconductor TiO2 with bound dyes have potential to provide a cheap,sustainable source of solar energy... -
Polystrene chain conformations in good solvents and electrospun fibres
This proposal is centered on the preparation of nanoscale fibres prepared by electrospinning and is the focus of the final year PhD programme of Saeed Mohan. These experiments... -
Shape- and depletant- induced assembly of nanocolloids in submicron channels
Understanding the behavior of colloidal nanoparticles in submicron channels is essential for a number of technological challenges including fracture healing, channel-transport... -
End-Game: Cornering Solvent Effects on H-Addition in Green Tea Anti-Oxidants
Our ongoing project to characterise radical scavenging by the green tea anti-oxidant EGCG and its D-ring analogue, (3,4,5-(OH)3-Bz) is near-complete. ALC-MuSR experiments on the... -
Exploring colloidal assembly in periodic nano-confinements using neutron spin...
Colloids in confinements have structural and dynamic properties in some cases very different from bulk properties. In particular, when the width of the confinement is few times... -
Conformational analysis of subtilin / lipid II binary antibiotic/target membr...
Antibiotic resistance is pathogenic bacteria is a major clinical problem. Resistance to all antibiotiotic classes, currentl yin clinical use, has been reported. By contrast, the... -

SANS and SESANS an ideal combination for Photonic materials
In this proposal we request time to characterise some novel colloidal particles that cannot be characterised with other approaches. These are believed to be raspberry... -
Investigation of structure and aggregation effects in conjugated polymers
We wish to look at the structure of polymers used in the field of organic electronics, these structures . Specifically we will look at the time evolution of light emitting... -
Aggregation effects on long length scales in solutions for organic photovolta...
Solar cell materials are routinely used in many applications and many studies are ongoing which have three principle objectives. To increase the efficiency, reduce the cost of... -
Interfacial structure in self-assembling conjugated polymer photovoltaic devices
The proposal aims to determine the degree of interfacial mixing and roughness at an interface between two conjugated polymers, as part of a broder program to understand how to... -
Investigating the response of lipid bilayers to physically structured substrates
The functionality of biological membranes is closely tied to their structural behavior. To understand this behavior we propose to study the conformality of artificial lipid... -
Reversible folding-unfolding and structural study in protein-ionic liquid sys...
It has been recently shown that reversible thermal folding-unfolding, stabilization and high solubility of proteins (e.g. lysozyme) can be achieved when dissolved in protic... -
Solvent density fluctuations and H-bonding between solute molecules in superc...
Supercritical CO2 is an interesting medium for supercritical fluid extraction of aromatic molecules, due to the low temperatures and pressures needed to the process. Methanol is...
