Electric field induced swelling/collapse of strong polyelectrolyte brushes
Electric field induced changes in the swelling of a strong polyelectrolyte brush will be investigated using neutron reflectivity. A poly(styrene sulphonate), PSS, brush will be... -
Proof of Principle: TOF Flux Line Lattice Measurements
Time is requested for a proof of principle time of flight flux line lattice measurement -
An In-Situ Study of the Formation of Amyloid Fibrils at Polymer Surfaces Usin...
We propose to study the formation of lateral features during insulin amyloid formation on polymer substrates using off-specular neutron reflectivity. This will be done by... -
Molecular interactions between phospholipid monolayers and dimethylsulphoxide
Neutron reflectivity will be employed to investigate the interaction between dimethylsulphoxide and monomolecular films of phosphatidylcholine. The monolayer will be used as a... -
Interactions between a polymer brush grown from a macro-initiator-modified sa...
We propose to make neutron reflectivity measurements of the weak polyelectrolyte, poly(dimethy amino ethyl methacrylate), grown from two different surface densities of initiator... -
Sustainable polymeric deposition aids
This is a new programme of work and a collaboration between CCLRC, Oxford, Unilever and Manchester. It is concerned with polymer aided deposition to solid substrates, using... -
Voltage-induced swelling and collapse of weak polyelectrolyte brushes
The voltage-induced actuation of a weak polyelectrolyte brush is an example of an ultrathin, remotely controlled responsive surface coating. We propose a continuation of...
