Neutron cross sections and mechanical properties of boron nitrate doped polym...
Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a layered material possessing extraordinary physical properties such as ultrahigh chemical stability, high electronic bandgap (about 6.5 eV),... -
SANS studies of mixed phospholipid:sterol vesicles and their interaction with...
The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin B (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents that can circumvent the... -
Surfactant Segregation in Plasticised PVA
PVA film is widely used as a non-toxic water soluble polymer. This proposal relates to its use in unit dose detergent pouches where plasticised PVA film stores a concentrated... -
Structural characterisation of metal phosphates and fluorophosphates
This proposal requests neutron diffraction beamtime to study a series of novel metal fluorophosphates and acid pyrophosphates with potential as ionic conductors.... -
Hydrophilic Melt Additive Segregation in Polyolefins
Small molecule additives are used in melt processing, sometimes to lubricate extrusion or to provide bespoke hydrophilic surfaces. Both applications require the additive to... -
Neutron reflectivity study of phase separation in polymer-drug thin films
Nearly 40% of new chemical entries are poorly water-soluble. Drug encapsulation into water-soluble polymers is an active research area owing to the ability of improving drug... -
Effect of monodispersity on core crystallinity, core packing and nanoparticle...
The still unreached goal of nanomedicine is to deliver drugs which are only released in the diseased tissue in a controlled fashion. For this, tailorable, reproducible, and... -
Formation of cellulose-starch gels: effect of cellulose source and surfactants
This proposal forms part of an ongoing project concerning interpenetrating network gels of starch and cellulose being developed towards applications in personal care and...
