Structural changes of lecithin wormlike micelles by adding solutes
Lecithin is a natural zwitterionic gemini surfactant that self-assembles in a hydrocarbon solvent, forming spherical or ellipsoidal inverse micelles, which grow into giant... -
Composition dependent structure in mixtures of water and hydrogen bonded mono...
This is part of a project concerning the interplay between water and other H-bonded liquids using a range of complementary experimental techniques, e.g. dielectric spectroscopy,... -
Small Angle Neutron Scattering Study of the Adsorption of Amine ¿functionalis...
Amine-functionalised poly(alkylene oxides) are used extensively as swelling inhibitors in water-based drilling fluids. This study will broaden our understanding of the mechanism... -
Does tethered PEG behave as a typical polymer brush at the solid-liquid inter...
We propose to make neutron reflectivity measurements of hydrophillic polymers covalently attached, via thiol chemistry, to the gold-water interface. In particular, we will... -
Solvation of cellulose-derivate polyelectrolyte in mixed solvents and added s...
Carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC) is the most widely used cellulose derivative; it forms an anionic, water-soluble, polyelectrolyte with vast applications in the food,... -
A Reversible pH-Driven DNA Nanoswitch
DNA is an extremely versatile building material for the development and assembly of functional nanostructures and nanodevices. There are numerous examples of DNA based... -
Oriented antibody binding layers
The proposal concerns the assembly of high density antibody binding surfaces to increase the sensitivity of medical diagnostics. Previously we showed that antibody binding... -
Characterisation of bioadhesive protein-PEG conjugates grafted to titanium su...
Summary: Titanium implants are surgically important and require a hydrophilic polymer coating to prevent biofouling in situ. Bioadhesive proteins can be covalently tethered to... -
A deeper insight into the structural dynamics of MgCl2 materials for catalyti...
In our previous experiment (1810419), we have demonstrated that INS spectra of MgCl2-based samples can be successfully recorded at TOSCA Instrument, even in absence of hydrogen... -
Neutron reflectivity study on sefl-repairing polymer brushes by surface segre...
We have recently studied the surface segregations of amphiphilic block copolymers blended in a matrix of cross-linked poly(dimethyl siloxane). In this system, while the... -
Conformation of di-stearoyl-polyethylene glycol surfactants as enhancers of b...
This proposal relates to the structural studies of Di-stearoyl and di-palmitoyl Polyethylene glycol derivates as a function of the PEG head group at the air-water and the... -
Structure and thermodynamics of polyethylene glycol chusions
A long term goal for biophysical studies has been to fabricate bio-membranes on solid supports. A highly hydrated ¿cushion¿ between the membrane and the underlying support can... -
Molecular weight dependence of 2D-confined dynamics in glass-forming systems
We seek to explore the dynamics of glass forming systems upon extreme 2D-confinement. These experiments are motivated by preliminary experiments on oligomers and macromolecules... -

Characterisation of Pearlman's catalyst
Pearlman¿s catalyst is commonly used in various hydrogenation, arylation and O-debenzyaltion reactions. The catalyst is unusual that it is active but not pyrophoric. It is... -
Phase separation of poly(ethylene glycol) and of poly(propylene glycol) in mi...
Phase behaviour studies have identified hydrogen bonding as a key aspect in polymer solubility in fluorinated liquids, both in terms of solute-solvent and solute-solute... -

Exploring Polymer Vibrations under Extreme Confinement: Substrate Effects
We seek to explore extreme confinement on the vibrational density of states of polyethylene oxide (PEO) over a wide energy-transfer range (10-3000 cm-1). These experiments are... -
Structure of phospholipid monolayers containing lipid-PEG-ligand
The incorporation of lipid-PEG-ligand molecules into liposome membrane imparts targeting ability and specificity to liposomes. Crucial for the targeting ability is the...
