The effect of particles on the structure of mucin ¿understanding the challeng...
Progress in the development of nano-sized hybrid therapeutics and nano-sized drug delivery systems - "nanomedicines" - over the last decade has been remarkable. One key... -
Phase separation of poly(ethylene glycol) and of poly(propylene glycol) in mi...
Phase behaviour studies have identified hydrogen bonding as a key aspect in polymer solubility in fluorinated liquids, both in terms of solute-solvent and solute-solute... -
A µSR study of two different phases of the non-centrosymmetric superconductor...
The intermetallic compound, Re3W is a non-centrosymmetric system with large atomic number (Z) for both constituents (75 for Re and 74 for W) and hence is a good candidate for... -
Spin dynamics of the non-centrosymmetric heavy-fermion compound CePdSi3
Several non-centrosymmetric heavy-fermion compounds have been reported to exhibit unconventional superconductivity (SC). For example, both CeRhSi3 and CeIrSi3 order... -
Polymer layer structure in stabilised metal nanoparticles for heterogenous ca...
The controlled synthesis of precious metal nanoparticles of the appriopriate chemical composition, optimised size and morphology for use in catalysis is an ongoing experimental... -
CATIONIC POLYMERS AS POTENTIAL GENE DELIVERY AGENTS: EVALUATION OF CONFORMATI...
Bio-responsive polymers hold great promise as delivery vehicles for drugs, peptides and proteins as their chemistry can be tuned to effect a change in physico-chemical... -
Rheo-SANS study of peptide gels
Low molecular weight gelators (LMWG) form hydrogels via self-assembly in water under specific conditions to form long, fibrillar structures. Non-covalent forces interactions... -
Correlation of structures, compositions and magnetism of copper-deficient lay...
This experiment will investigate three related systems which contain copper deficient anti-fluorite-type copper sulfide layers. The overall aim is to correlate magnetic and... -
Conformational Evaluation of Biodegradable Model Polymer-Drug Conjugates
Previous SANS studies of anti-cancer polymer-drug conjugates (PDCs) (HPMA-Doxorubicin) identified a correlation between conjugate solution conformation and clinical results. The... -
Time reversal symmetry breaking study of the superconductors YRuB2 and LuRuB2
In this proposal we suggest an investigation of the time reversal symmetry breaking in the superconducting compounds YRuB2 and LuRuB2 with orthorhombic structure (space group... -
The Destruction of Superconductivity by Inter-Band Scattering in (Lu1-xYx)2Fe...
This proposal plans to investigate the destruction of superconductivity by inter-band scattering in Lu_2Fe_3Si_5 doped by Y and Dy. Recent muon spin rotation studies have shown... -
On the Mechanism of Self-Assembling Chiral Gelators
Organogelators are small molecules that self-associate into extensive network structures. Our interest lies in a homologous series of such gelators, the... -
Continuation of "Magnetic excitations in the quantum spin ice Yb2Ti2O7"
We have recently carried out an inelastic neutron scattering experiment at LET in order to investigate the excitations in the quantum spin ice Yb2Ti2O7. The single crystal... -
A MuSR study of the non-centrosymmetric superconductor LaPtSi3
Non-centrosymmetric superconductors (NCS) are believed to be good candidates for unconventional superconductivity. In particular, there is the possibility of Cooper pairs with...
