Probing Water Structure in the Hydration layer around Poly(ethylene glycol)
Water is the source of life, but the effects of hydration water on the conformation change and function of biological and bio-compatible macromolecules are still full of... -
The Effect of Framework Structure and Composition on Controlled Drug Release ...
The mobility of beta-blocker and angina/hypertension drug atenolol in zeolites FAU and BEA will be probed using QENS to understand the importance of fundamental... -
Investigating the INVAR behaviour of Pd3Fe
INVAR behaviour is the property of having zero thermal expansion over a given temperature range; something very important for certain engineering applications, and very... -

Proton diffusion in lithium imide: a quasi-elastic neutron scattering study
Li_2NH has been recently considered for H_2 storage applications. However, its low-T crystal structure is still controversial, with at least 6 options compatible with the... -
Investigating the diffusion of E-caprolactam in hierarchically-porous catalys...
Caprolactam (CL) is a high-value chemical and precursor to nylon-6. Industrially, a harsh, liquid-acid catalyst effects the Beckmann rearrangement of C6-oxime to CL, but the... -
Cation reorientation dynamics in a hybrid Prussian blue analogue
The cubic pores in many Prussian blue analogues are big enough to contain organic cations. In the material (HIm)2K[Fe(CN)6], the imidazolate guest cation is free to rotate in... -
QENS Study of Proton Diffusion in Metal-Organic Framework Materials
The development of new functional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as complex proton conductor is receiving increasing attention worldwide. We aim to develop new solid proton... -
Investigating the diffusion of cyclic oximes in hierarchically-porous catalys...
Caprolactam (CL) is a high-value chemical precursor to nylon-6. On an industrial scale an aggressive liquid-acid catalyst is used to transform C6-oxime to CL. Due to... -
Study of the protein denaturation in glassy matrices
The proposed experiment is addressed to use the MARI spectrometer to study the thermal denaturation process of the psychrophile enzyme alpha-amylase in presence of bioprotectant... -
