Closer to Reality: Studies of Mixed Organic Monolayer Ozonolysis at Atmospher...
Films of various surface-active species are found on the surface of water bodies from the sea down to microscopic spray droplets. These films affect the properties of the water... -
The impact of polyelectrolytes on surfactant adsorption onto cellulose surfaces
Studying surfactant and mixed surfactant adsorption on model solid surfaces, which mimic real surfaces such as fabrics, hair and skin, is starting to provide a real insight into... -
Adsorption of Fab and Fc from monoclonal antibody at the oil/water interface
Following our previous study of adsorption of globular lysozyme and BSA, we continue to explore how different globular proteins adsorb at the oil/water interface by neutron... -
The Effect of solution pH on the Interaction between poly(silicic) acid and D...
We wish to investigate the pH-dependence of the strong interfacial interaction of 1,2-Dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) with poly(silicic) acid at the air-water... -
Low temperarature structure of Sr2CoO2Cu1.85S2
This proposal aims to exploit the superior flux on the upgraded HRPD coupled with the intrinsic high resolution to examine the differences between a sample of Sr2CoO2Cu1.85S2... -
Magnetic structure below the metal-insulator transition of Pb2CaOsO6
This proposal is part of a project in which we explore the unusual physics of 5d transition metal oxides. Using a special high pressure technique, we have synthesised first... -
Neutron reflectivity of water soluble conjugated polymer/surfactant films
Water-soluble conjugated polymers (WSCP) are an important class of materials which have received great attention as active materials in optoelectronic devices and in biosensing.... -

In this work we explore how our rationally designed peptide amphiphiles bind onto lipid monolayers using neutron reflection combined with deuterium labelling to the lipids,... -
Structure of Confined Albumin Layers
In the context of a project in collaboration with ISIS that focuses on structural studies under mechanical confinement, with a specific focus on biological lubricants, the... -
Binding of DNA to Model Membranes in the Presence of Ca2+ Ions and a Membrane...
The aim of the present work is to gain an understanding of the interaction of DNA with the phospholipid bilayers. The effect of different forms of DNA, the presence of divalent... -
Correlation between crystalline and magnetic structures, and polarization in ...
TbMnO3 attracts special attention due to its large magnetoelectric coupling, polarization flop and ferro-paramagnetic phase transition, both induced by magnetic field. Despite... -
Warm Polar Cloud Chemistry: Can the Halogen "explosion" effect cloud droplet ...
The oxidative processing of pollutants in Polar clouds affects droplet size and optical properties. Polar clouds contain naturally occurring organic lipids forming organic films... -
Interaction of Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL) with Model Mammalian Cell Membr...
Atherosclerosis and subsequent clinical complication is one of the biggest killers in the western world, with a death toll reaching 16.7 million deaths per year. Although many... -
Depth profiles in bulk heterojunction films containing low-molecular weight o...
Neutron reflectivity will be used to investigate the composition in the direction perpendicular to the substrate for films of blends of electron-donor... -
Determination of Organic Friction Modifier conformation under shear
Engine oils act to lubricate and protect moving parts in an engine. They act to reduce friction and reduce emissions. A major class of friction reducing additives are organic... -
