Ionic liquid containing microemulsions
The aim of this experiment is to characterise several novel ionic liquid ¿ oil and ionic liquid ¿ water microemulsions via SANS prior to their use in the synthesis of metallic... -
Time of Flight MISANS
MISANS is the combination of Modulation of Intensity Emerging from Zero Effort (MIEZE) and Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS). SANS is used to determine the microscopic... -
Understanding the skin barrier design: identifying the conformation of cerami...
The stratum corneum layer of the skin acts as a barrier between the body and the external environment. This is achieved by dead corneocytes encased in a lamellar lipid matrix,... -
Self-Assembly of Surfactant Mesophases during the Solution Casting of PVA Films
While the surface and bulk properties of large polymers in solution is well-studied, the converse case of small molecule migration and segregation in polymers has received... -
Magnetic correlation length measurements in Fe/Si multilayers using spin echo...
We wish to investigate the magnetic structure of a series of magnetic multilayers using a new technique we have successfully implemented called Spin Echo Modulated Small Angle... -
Packing of DNA in glioma nuclei
To answer the question how DNA is packed inside the interphase nucleus at the micron scale, we propose SESANS experiment using contrast variation technique from human glioma... -
Ceramide conformational thermotropic behaviour within the skins long periodi...
The stratum corneum layer of the skin acts as a barrier between the body and the external environment. This is achieved by corneocytes encased in a lamellar lipid matrix, which... -
Probing lateral solvent and ion distributions in patterned pH swellable gels ...
Patterned, swellable hydrogels are finding increasing applications as sensing, optical focussing and actuation elements in Lab-on-a-chip structures because of their property... -
A SESANS study of the structures of bile salts-polymer complexes that facilit...
Nearly 40% new drugs are poorly water-soluble.To achieve good oral absorption of these compounds, solubilisation in the gut fluid is extremely important.Water-soluble polymers... -
Surface segregation and topographical excitation in stoichiometric polymer:fu...
We propose to study the kinetics and thermodynamics of polymer:fullerene composite association to provide insight into engineering increased efficiency organic photovoltaics....
