Ligand conformation at semiconductor nanoparticle surfaces for high-efficienc...
The efficiency of silicon solar cells is limited to 29%. One possible way of breaking this limit uses a process called singlet fission, converting a high energy photon into two... -
Effect of pH on the complexation behaviour between Pluronic micelles, drugs a...
Pluronic micelles are attractive candidates as drug carriers. Despite the abundance of data on their association with various drugs, there is, in contrast, very little... -
Self-assembly of protein polymer conjugates: Effect of copolymer structure
Conjugation of therapeutic proteins to polymers is well established but most methods result in multi-site and multiple conjugation or crosslinking resulting in lack of... -
Interaction of Lignosulphonates with model surfactant systems by Small Angle ...
With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce reliance on palm and crude oil derived materials, it is vital that the Home and Personal Care industry... -
Novel materials for heat storage application: a small-angle neutron scatterin...
Large quantities of thermal energy can be stored reversibly in composite materials containing SrCl2 and Expanded Natural Graphite (ENG) upon exo-/endothermal ab-/desorption of... -
Controlling the morphology of fullerene-free polymer solar cells using additi...
We have recently demonstrated, using small angle neutron scattering in combination with other techniques, that in organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) the additive... -
Simultaneous SANS and modulated SESANS for studies of surfactant templating o...
In the previous round we trialled use of the new techniques enabled on Larmor which permit simultaneous measurements of nanoscale and macroscale structure. These experiments... -
Phase behaviour in Polymer-Photovoltaic Blends
In polymer-fullerene based photovoltaic systems the phase behaviour of the blends is poorly understood and remains a fundamental stumbling block to improvements in device... -
Polymer-induced critical pase separation
This proposal concerns a novel approach to phase separation in self-assembling colloidal systems. Microemulsions can be readily formulated to display critical-type phase... -
Static and dynamic structure of oil/water microemulsions to improve enhanced ...
After initial and secondary oil recovery up to 50% of the oil can be left behind in the reservoir. Various enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques can be applied to improve the... -
quantitative dark field imaging using Larmor labelling
We will determine whether a neutron technique called dark field Lamor imaging can provide quantitative information about the spatial distribution of small inhomogeneities in... -
Probing membrane localisation of molecular rotors
A number of important biological processes, such as intracellular transport and signal transduction depend on the viscosity and the distribution of microdomains in cells. We... -
Investigating the internal structure of two-component polymer nanoparticles f...
The elucidation of the compositional profile inside the polymer nanoparticles is of critical importance for applications such as water processable organic solar cells. In order... -

Cross-linked Electrospun Fibres containing Cellulose
In this proposal we shall explore the nature of electrospun fibres produced from blends of cellulose and polystyrene which we shall use as a model to develop high strength... -
Control of oil exchange dynamics in microemulsions by amphiphilic copolymers
A very important property of O/W microemulsions is the exchange dynamics of the oil molecules. So far little is know about that, despite the fact that its control is crucial for... -
Probing bulk heterojunction (BHJ) thin films with graded morphologies using SANS
This projects aims to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between processing conditions, active layer morphology and device performance in polymer solar...
