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... -
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... -
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... -
Self-assembly of GFP-HMPA protein polymer conjugates: Effect of polymer hydro...
Conjugation of therapeutic proteins to polymers is well established but most methods result in multi-site and multiple conjugation, crosslinking resulting in lack of orientation... -
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... -
Pickering emulsions stabilized with oxidised cellulose nanofibrils and starch
Our group has been working functionalised cellulose nanofibrils which form gels in aqueous formulations. Previously we have used these fibrils to stabilise oil-in-water... -
Microemulsion Controlled Polymorph Crystallisation
Control of crystallisation is essential for many applications ranging from pharaceuticals to packaging and food preservation, yet remains extremely challenging. Recently we have... -
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... -
Ionic Liquid Aggregation in Polymers
Ionic liquid/Polymer mixtures, where the ionic liquid is the minority component are of particular interest for their potential as high temperature plasticisers and conducting... -
Using contrast matching to understand the networks in multicomponent systems
We have been focusing on two component gel networks. Here, both components can individually form gels. In a mixed system, the LMWG can either co-assemble or self-sort. In a... -
Optimising graphene-philic surfactants as effective stabilizer for graphene p...
Graphene has been touted as a material of everything, but for all its promise it does have some drawbacks, especially in its poor dispersibility and instability in water (and... -
Micellization in mixtures of surfactants used in fire-fighting foams
The aim is to probe the mixed micellar compositions of three common industrial fluorotelomer surfactants used in fire-fighting foam formulations (Figure 1) using contrast... -
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... -
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... -

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...
