Organisation of Latex Particles in Solution and at the Water/Sapphire Interface
Polystyrene latex represents an excellent model system for studies of the physical properties of colloidal particles. The materials can be prepared with controlled size, and... -
Order in the bulk and at the surface of dispersions of colloidal particles
Highly ordered dispersions of charged polymer particles that are tens or hundreds of nanometres diameter can be prepared. These are useful model systems for self-assembly and... -
Atomic and pore structure of crystallizing zeolite precursors
We will investigate a series of aluminosilicate systems, zeolite chabazite, ZSM-5, Zeolite Y and Zeoltie A and determine the short and medium range order structures and the... -
Basic Science for Offpsec : Part 2
This proposal is part 2 of a set of two proposals on Offspec aimed at understanding some of the effects seen in off-specular data and in particular the use of the spin echo... -
Surface Smectic Layers in difluoroterphenyls
The proposal is to use previous established neutron reflection methods to observe the smectic layers that form at the surface of a nematic liquid crystal. In this proposal we...
