SANS Studies of Novel Internally Stabilised Liposomes
Internally supported liposomes (ISLs) are composed of polymeric spheres enclosed by liposomes. Although very little research has been done on ISLs, understanding their... -
On the structure and composition of non-lamellar lipid-based liquid crystalli...
To better understand the properties of non-lamellar liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LCNP) as delivery vehicles, it is crucial to understand their internal structure and the... -
How do polymeric de-emulsifiers work? Contrast variation studies with model w...
The project is to understand fundamental structure-performance relationships of chemical demulsifiers in water-in-crude oil (w/o) systems. In particular, to understand how... -
Structural development of magnetite chains
One dimensional (1D) magnetic nanostructures exhibit anisotropic magnetic properties and thereby differ from unstructured materials. However, magnetic chains are energetically... -
Protein-decorated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles
The aim of this research is to understand the structural confirmation of dextran coated iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles in the presence of Bovine serum albumin (BSA) in aqueous... -
Investigating Mesoporosity in Hierarchical Aluminophosphates
Optimising catalyst lifetime and performance is pivotal to enhancing the sustainability of industrial catalytic processes, allowing greater product yields, at lower... -
The solution structure of E.coli peripheral membrane protein FtsA solubilised...
We will measure the solution structure of a protein complex from bacteria essential for cell division. The two proteins, FtsA and FtsZ, are known to interact with each other... -
Structure of siRNA containing delivery vehicles: effect of serum
Complexes prepared from cationic, dichain lipid (L) vesicles and negatively charged siRNA (R), with and without positively chargely targeting peptides (P) known as LR or LPR... -
Dynamic P3HT Nanowire Growth in Solution (Sans2d)
We propose to use SANS to probe the self organised formation of P3HT nanowires in a solution of deuterated chlorobenzene over a 48 hr period in order to better understand the... -
Probing the structure of hybrid polymer-silica nanoparticles
Organosilica nanomaterials have received substantial attention in the past two decades with a number of reports describing their synthesis, structural features, properties and...
