A detailed study of the temperature and compositional variation of defect structure in doped bismuth tantalates is proposed. Tantalum doping into Bi2O3 can achieve d-phase...

Despite interest in microemulsions as drug delivery vehicles, there is a lack of structural understanding to justify the formulations used. The present study examines the use of...

Organometallic compounds play an important role in catalysis, and compounds with metal carbonyl groups have been studied at elevated pressure by vibrational spectroscopy, but...

This proposal aims to study condensation transitions in nanoporous flexible materials by means of wide Q-range neutron diffraction. We plan to perform an in-situ gas...

Phenomena surrounding the wetting of natural or artificial topographically patterned surfaces are found systems associated with the diverse fields of chemical engineering,...

During the course of a PhD project funded by CCLRC's CMPC, we have developed a cell that allows electrical transport property measurements to be made simultaneously with the...

Residual stresses introduced into large aerospace aluminium components after the queching procedure carried out to form the desired microstructure can result in large, costly...

Patterned, swellable hydrogels are finding increasing applications as sensing, optical focussing and actuation elements in Lab-on-a-chip structures because of their property...
