Temperature-Dependent Structural Changes in Liquid Benzene
The non-covalent interactions between aromatic rings are of fundamental importance in large number biological and chemical processes. The local structure of aromatic liquids is... -
How Encapsulated is a Sodide? Li+Na--EtNH2 vs Li+e--EtNH2
We have recently begun to look at how large, polarisable alkalides (group 1 metal anions) are solvated in solution. This proposal aims to determine how ethylamine is able to... -
New Ruthenium-based dyes for environmentally friendly optical devices
The cis-[Ru(bipy)2(PTA)2]Cl2, trans-[Ru(bipy)2(PTA)2]OTf2 ruthenium complexes are highly water soluble and luminescent in water at room temperature. Additionally, their optical... -
Ionic Liquid ¿ Water Interactions
This project aims to examine the structure of microemulsions formed by water and 1-methyl-3-ethylimidazolium-based ionic liquids with the acetate or octanoate anion. These... -
Understanding the molecular origin of co-non-solvency. Step 2.
A number of polymers that are commonly soluble in water and in alcohol, display a dramatic collapse when 10 molar % of alcohol is added to the polymer/water system. Various... -

The origin of the dissolution of cellulose in alkali/urea aqueous solution
Cellulose is produced over tens of billions of tons every year in the world. It is one of the most abundant natural polymer resources. Compared with petroleum-based polymers,... -
Molecular interactions in amorphous paracetamol
The appearance of multiple crystal forms is one of the bottlenecks in pharmaceutical formulation. To date the result of a crystallisation experiment cannot be predicted and we... -
Investigating the structure of novel zinc and magnesium doped bioactive glasses
A range of novel bioactive glasses containing zinc and magnesium have recently been developed for dental and orthopaedic applications. At present little is known about the... -
Morphology of poly(ethylene-oxide)-ionic liquid mixtures: the role of hydroge...
We propose to explore the morphology of binary mixtures of poly(ethylene oxide), a biomimetic macromolecule, and two different ionic liquids, differing in their hydrogen bonding... -
The role of water in homogeneous catalytic processes mediated by water solubl...
A large number of chemicals are currently obtained by catalytic synthetic processes, but usually in most of these processes the catalyst remains in the reaction medium during... -
Structural behaviour of gallium in phosphate glasses for bone cements
Bone cements are an important class of biomaterial used in hard tissue surgery as well as periodontology. Many of these are glass-ionomer cements formed from an aluminosilicate... -
Solvation and structure of lithium in bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl}imide bas...
The use of ionic liquids for electrochemical devices such as supercapacitors, dye sensitised solar cells and lithium ion batteries has led to significant advances in technology.... -
structure of surfactant-free microemulsion as the L-L equilibirum line is app...
A surfactant-free microemulsion is ternary system consisting of two completely miscible molecular liquids and a third one that is only highly soluble in or miscible with one of... -
Association and liquid structure of zwitterionic salts-water mixtures
Anti-fouling surfaces are a critical requirement for a wide range of biomedical applications, such as medical implants and biosensors. Poly(ethylene glycol) is widely used... -
Structure of High Density and Low Density solid water
The hypothetical connection between liquid water and the two liquid phases: Low Density Liquid (LDL) and High Density Liquid (HDL) has been difficult to prove experimentally... -
Speciation and complex-ion formation in protic ionic liquids
A broad fundamental understanding of the design and properties of ionic liquids underpins their developing and future applications, which include accessing cellulosic polymers... -
Solution Study of the Interaction of Salt Species at Varying Concentrations
6 days on Nimrod are requested to collect neutron total scattering data of 1M, 2M and 3M solutions of a α,ω-dicarboxylic acid, glutaric acid, and 2-methylimidazole... -
Fragile to strong transition in concentrated sorbitol-water solutions
In a recent paper [J. Phys. Chem. B, 2016, 120 (29), pp 72897296] we have put forward the idea that water in concentrated (70 wt%) sorbitol-water solutions becomes confined by... -
The structure of metal-ammonia Ogg glasses
In this application we will conduct the first detailed study of the structure of glassy metal-ammonia systems ? so-called Ogg glasses, named after the person who first proposed...
