Lateral Phase Behavior in bulk heterojunction films containing low-molecular ...
Grazing incidence small angle neutron scattering (GISANS) will be used to investigate the lateral phase behavior in thin films of blends of electron-donor... -
INS study of the first carbon-carbon bond formation stage in the methanol-to-...
Methanol-to-Hydrocarbons is an industrially relevant reaction. The generally accepted mechanism under steady state is the 'hydrocarbon pool' mechanism with the hydrocarbons... -
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,... -
Revising the onset of anharmonicity in proteins
Our previous INS studies of ¿dry¿/hydrated apoferritin show that the hydrated protein undergoes a dynamical transition, Td, at 200K. Such behavior, first modeled by Doster et al... -
Local structure and proton sites in proton conducting brownmillerites
This proposal requests 6 days on Tosca to investigate the nature of local structure and proton sites in the proton conducting brownmillerite system Ba2In1.85M0.15O6H2 (M = In,... -
Characterization of P3HT:PCBM blends by SANS measurements
Blends of poly-3-hexyl-thiophene (P3HT) and 6,6-phenyl-C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) are the most promising candidates for active layers of plastic solar cells with high... -
High-pressure studies of methyl stearate
In order to tackle emissions targets for CO2, there is increasing pressure to replace fossil fuels with renewable fuels. Biodiesel is one such renewable transportation fuel that... -
CYCLODEXTRIN-ENCAPSULATION OF PLATINUM-BASED ANTICANCER DRUGS
The goal of the present proposal is the study of supramolecular nanoencapsulation of platinum-based anticancer agents, by INS spectroscopy. A chemically modified cyclodextrin... -
The adsorption of methyl proprionate on silica catalysts.
Commercial routes for the manufacture of methyl methacrylate monomer have recently been developed that involve the reaction of esters over modified silicas, which are amphoteric... -
Szilard-Chalmers reaction: towards understanding of breaking of chemical bond...
When a nucleus captures a low energy neutron it emits a gamma ray as it recoils. The recoil energy is often sufficient to break a covalent bond to the atom concerned. The effect... -

Commercial routes for the manufacture of methyl methacrylate monomer have recently been developed that involve the reaction of esters over modified silicas, which are amphoteric... -
Effect of Nucleating Agents on Phase Behavior in thin film bulk heterojunctio...
Neutron reflection will be used to investigate the normal composition profile in thin films of blends of electron-donor poly(alkyl thiophene) and the electron-acceptor... -
Does the methyl group of adsorbed methoxy on eta-alumina tunnel?
This application seeks to discover whether it is possible to observe the tunnelling of the methyl groups of adsorbed methoxy on eta-alumina. To our knowledge, this is the first... -
Depth profiles in bulk heterojunction films containing low-molecular weight o...
Neutron reflectivity will be used to investigate the composition in the direction perpendicular to the substrate for films of blends of electron-donor... -
Study of NH4+ mobility in ammonia borane, ammonium borohydride and methyl amm...
We request 5 days on EMU to study the NH4+ ion mobility in the light borohydride materials NH3BH3, NH4BH4 and CH3NH3BH4. As has been proposed by Stowe et al., during the... -
Phase separation and dewetting of dPS/PVME thin films by specular and off-spe...
We will perform time resolved TOF-reflectivity measurements on deuterated polystyrene (PS) and poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) thin blend films, which has a LCST type phase...
