Among the most important features affecting the behaviour of Ionic Liquids (IL) and their mixtures with molecular liquids (ML), ion pairing is attracting a great attention. This...

Fullerene and its derivatives have become materials of great technological interest for a number of reasons including their success as electron acceptors in organic photovoltaic...

The unique properties of graphene make it one of the best candidates as reinforcement of polymeric nanocomposites. One such case are poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/graphene...

Small molecule additives are used in melt processing, sometimes to lubricate extrusion or to provide bespoke hydrophilic surfaces. Both applications require the additive to...

Among light metal amide-imide catalysts for ammonia decomposition, lithium-calcium imide is the most promising candidate for practical application. Ex situ diffraction data...

We have recently reported a remarkably rich range of surface segregation and self-organisation behaviour for surfactants and plasticisers in PVA film. These experiments are...

This proposal aims to investigate the structure of ceramide, an important component of cellular membranes in a mimic membrane environment. After assessment of this molecule in...

Understanding how water hydrates cellular membranes is an important aspect of understanding how water-soluble compounds - such as drugs - can cross into a cell from the blood...

This is in continuation with our earlier proposal (RB910248) for which experiment was carried out during August 2009. Fast segmental dynamics of surfactants in rod-like...

How drugs cross the formidable blood brain barrier in order to function is not well understood, specifically with respect to the interplay between hydrophobic and hydrophilic...

The field of ionic liquids is one of the hottest topics with the number of publications still growing exponentially. This is due to the negligible vapour pressure,...
