Interaction of a pH-sensitive Polymer with a Model Lipid Membrane in the Form...
This SANS experiment was proposed by 4 PhD students from 3 different institutions in a Marie-Curie Training Network. They are all in the second year of their PhD and their... -
30 T High Magnetic Field Neutron Diffraction on Multi-ferroic TbMnO3
The main target of the proposal is to determine the magnetic phase diagram of multi-ferroic compound TbMnO3 in extremely high magnetic fields around 30 T by using a pulsed... -
Characterisation of the impact of weakly polar interactions on the vibrationa...
The present proposal is part of a project to formulate a quantitative synergy between experiment and theory, complimenting the results the applicants have already established in... -
Structural Studies of Complex Mixed-Metal Pyrochlore and Spinel Oxides
Our objective is to determine structural models for some complex, mixed-metal oxide phases that are as complete as possible using analysis of PDFs produced from total neutron... -
Solution aggregation of short peptide surfactants
Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly to lead to interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation.... -
Contrast matching of selectively deuterated glycerides for scattering studies...
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) can be formed from glycerides and loaded with diverse cargo for healthcare applications. A key advantage of LNPs over liposomes is the significant... -
The application of INS to examine high specification Fe Fischer-Tropsch catal...
Over the last 4-5 years the research team have been developing INS methodology that can be applied to investigate Fe Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) catalysts. The first stage of that... -
Mixed micelles of nonionic and metallosurfactants (P123/CTAF) as porogens of ...
Non-ionic/metallosurfactant (P123/CTAF) mixed micelles are used as templates for the hydrothermal synthesis of mesoporous ferrisilicate materials. It was hypothesized that... -
Inherent damage tolerance of fine grained nuclear graphite at elevated temper...
Current UK reactors use a graphite composite material in the core and this material comprises coarse grains and about 20 vol.% porosity. This material functions well so far but... -
Structure determination of gelled cellulose nanowhisker assemblies
We have developed a new and benign method for the production of cellulose based aerogels, highly porous materials with applications in insulation, drug delivery, gas storage,... -
Structural studies of thermal responsive nanogels at the oil-water interface
It has been shown that gel particles are able to stabilize the oil-water interface and forming emulsions ( the so called "Pickering emulsions"). It has also been shown that...
