How aggregate lifetimes affect the kinetics of surfactant surface multilayer ...
The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at interfaces from surfactant self-assembly is an important structural signature associated with a wide range of technological... -
Uncovering the tension-compression asymmetry of low stacking fault FCC alloys...
A certain type of alloys, with face-centered-cubic (FCC) structure and medium to low stacking fault energies (SFE), can trigger the formation of multiple twins (mechanical... -
Improved lignin conversion via selective cleavage of interunit C-C bonds to m...
We request 9 days on TOSCA to carry out inelastic neutron scattering (INS) studies of the adsorption, activation and reaction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (lignin models)... -
Polarized Neutron Reflectivity study of in-plane spin vortices formed in 2D r...
Spin vortices are most appealing characteristics of two dimensional 2D easy-plane spin systems which are receiving recent attention for their fundamental properties and possible... -
Effect of calcium ions and ionic strength on model bilayer structure
Calcium ions have been shown in a preliminary experiment to have a dramatic effect on the thickness and structure of free supported bilayer films. In this proposal we... -
Multi-component mixtures of biosurfactants and conventional surfactants
This proposal is about the development of sustainable detergency based formulations, based on the blending of biosurfactants and conventional surfactants, and is part of a CASE... -
SR study near the ferromagnetic quantum critical point in CePd1-xRhx ...
Rcently the NFL behaviour near an antiferromagnetic quantum critical point (AFQCP) has been investigated extensively. Very recently, we have investigated, for the first time,... -
Interactions Between Ionic Liquids and Water
To date many papers have been published on the effects of impurities on the physical properties of ionic liquids (near room-temperature molten salts), however, only few studies... -
Microstrain evolution of multilayered Ti/X (X=Zr, Nb) composites under the ef...
The mechanical properties of multilayered metallic composites are determined by strain/stress partitioning between the constituent metals. However, the effect of strain on the... -
Kinetics of surfactant multilayer formation / dissolution at interfaces
The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at surfaces and interfaces from self-assembly in mixed surfactant and in polymer / surfactant mixtures are being increasingly... -
Deforming TWIP steels at cryogenic temperatures
Dense mechanical twins and phase transformation are the most attractive athermal transformation processes since they can endow alloys with significant strength enhancement as...
