The MES is representative of a promising group of anionic surfactants which have the potential for improved performance and biocompatibility / biosustainability, and their...

Combination of ionic copolymer micelles with oppositely charged polyelectrolytes leads to the formation of interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPECs). The aggregate has an onion-...

We wish to measure polymersomes having a long PEO chain which we develop for radionuclide encapsulation and which we believe improves blood circulation in vivo. Specifically we...

For biomaterial applications, it is important that the properties of self-assembled hydrogels are well controlled and match the requirements of the application. The influence of...

Linear sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate (NaLAS) is one of the most extensively used anionic surfactant in the world, mainly as a biodegradable laundry detergent, with an annual...

Block copolymer micelles have been used to encapsulate various chemotherapeutic drugs, which can be delivered to the tumour site using the so-called Enhanced Permeation and...

Ever more stringent environmental regulations have driven the automotive industry to strive for light weight solutions in automotive body and chassis applications, without...

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...

Organic solar cells are an exciting, clean energy generating technology offering low-cost, scalable fabrication routes. New non-fullerene acceptors such as ITIC produce highly...

The archetype chiral system MnSi belongs to the family of non-centrosymmetric cubic helimagnets where a helimagnetic ordering exists below the critical temperature of 29 K. This...

We wish to look at the structure of polymers used in the field of organic electronics, these structures . Specifically we will look at the time evolution of light emitting...

Low-density and high-density lipoproteins (LDL, HDL) are the main lipoproteins involved in cholesterol transport in the human body. Raised serum LDL-cholesterol levels result in...

We have recently shown that Grubbs' type catalysts can be used to enable the breakdown of butyl rubber into oligomeric fragments without high energy input or elevated...

In this work, we have selected a group of 5 short peptides I3GGHK, I4GGHK, I3GGGHK, I3GGHHK and I3KGGH to study how changes in peptide concentration, [Cu2+] and temperature...

As a new group of synthetic biosurfactants, the acyl-L-carnitines offer potential for different applications including working as edible biocides. Whilst extensive studies have...

Block copolymers are composed of two or more chemically different polymer chains covalently linked together, and are capable of forming self-assembled nanoparticles in a...

MISANS is the combination of Modulation of Intensity Emerging from Zero Effort (MIEZE) and Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS). SANS is used to determine the microscopic...
