Study of cooperative aggregation of organic semiconductor in solution
Soluble pentacene derivatives are high performing semiconductors for use in organic transistors offering low cost solution processability, and potential for migration to... -
Solvent-induced curvature of micelles
The purpose is to follow a structural evolution as water soluble (normal curvature) micelles are gradually transformed into oil soluble (reversed curvature) aggregates. Although... -
Hydrogen phase behaviour in microporous carbons with different pore geometries
In this proposal, we seek to use quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) to investigate the phase behaviour of molecular or di-hydrogen (H2) in cylindrical and slit-shaped pores... -
Competitive interactions in polymer-particle-surfactant blends
Many formulations comprise distinct chemical species that exhibit antagonistic or synergistic interactions that result in unpredictable behaviour. Previous work from our group... -
pH Responsive Polymer Blend Surfaces
Polymers, end-functionalised with carboxylic acid (COOH) groups do not normally segregate to film surfaces due to the high surface energy of these functionalities. However, we... -
Probing bulk heterojunction (BHJ) thin films with graded morphologies using SANS
This projects aims to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between processing conditions, active layer morphology and device performance in polymer solar... -
Spin relaxation of short-lived spin-labelled radicals in solution
The spin relaxation rates of free radicals in solution can provide valuable information about the dynamics of molecular tumbling in solution, and solvent-radical interactions.... -
Effect of lipid oxidation on raft formation using contrast variation SANS
The very heterogeneous, but non-random, arrangement of lipids and proteins in cell membranes are of major scientific interest and led Simons and Ikonen to propose that ¿rafts,¿... -
Folated derivatized nanoemulsions for the treatment of cancer
Nanoemulsions (NE) i.e. nanoparticles containing a fluid lipid or oil dispersed in water and stabilized by a surfactant particles have attracted considerable attention as... -
Impact of homo- and hetero-association of complex molecular nano-sized drug d...
The present proposal concerns a PEGylated, hydrophobic drug containing polylysine dendrimer that demonstrates unexplained batch-to-batch variability in that two batches of the... -
Elucidating buried structures using Offspec
This proposal is a continuation proposal (previous RB 1110285) utilising the Offspec instrument and is aimed at further understanding the utility of the spin echo grazing... -
Probing the kinetics of the formation of lipid, peptide and DNA/siRNA complex...
Complexes prepared from cationic, dichain lipid (L) vesicles, positively chargely targeting peptides (P) and negatively charged DNA (D) or siRNA (R), known as LPDs and LPRs... -
Nanosuspsomicroemulsions: nanosuspension stabilty
At Kings College London we have recently developed a novel combination formulation, a nanosuspsomicroemulsion (NSME), comprising of a microemulsion (ME) containing one drug and... -
Microdomains in model membranes using contrast variation SANS
In the present proposal small angle neutron scattering will be used in combination with contrast variation as a non-invasive method to detect the presence and size formation of... -
Effect of oxidation on lipid raft formation: a SANS study
The separation of particular lipids in cell membranes into liquid ordered and liquid disorder regions is thought to have a major influence of the functioning of membrane... -
Determination of high shear superstructures in poly (ethylene oxide)/silica d...
High shear in paints and emulsion is common during both processing and application. Spray coating, films rolling and mixing all contaain high shear states. We are interested in... -
Microscopic structure of acetic acid in water and methanol
Some of the most important chemical reactions involve Brønsted acids and bases where the solvation structure and transport dynamics of charged defects in hydrogen-bonded... -
SANS study of hollow nanoparticles and their solvent release
Hollow nanoparticles (HNP) have been successfully used for encapsulation and controlled release of biochemicals such as drugs, DNA, and dyes. However no in-situ method has been... -
Controlling the morphology of fullerene-free polymer solar cells using additi...
We have recently demonstrated, using small angle neutron scattering in combination with other techniques, that in organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) the additive... -
