Sample environments are an essential and integral inclusion to all neutron scattering
experiments. This review describes recent advances in such devices across the full …

Diffuse soft matter interfaces take many forms, from end-tethered polymer brushes or
adsorbed surfactants to self-assembled layers of lipids. These interfaces play crucial roles …

Hypothesis Understanding the complex interactions between polymers and surfactants is
required to optimise commercially relevant systems such as paint, toothpaste and detergent …

Surface-initiated activators regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical
polymerization (ARGET ATRP) is used to polymerize a cis-diol-functional methacrylic …

Hypothesis Anionic surfactants have been reported to interact with poly (N-isopropyl
acrylamide)(PNIPAM), suppressing its thermoresponse. Scattering and NMR studies of the …

Abstract refellips is an open-source analysis package written in Python for modelling
variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry data. The software is designed to be used in …

Hypothesis Specific ion effects govern myriad biological phenomena, including protein–
ligand interactions and enzyme activity. Despite recent advances, detailed understanding of …

Cosolvents play an integral role in polymer solubility, with myriad applications in drug
delivery and energy storage. In particular, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has received …

Revealing interfacial shear-induced structural responsiveness has long been an important
topic in that most fluids in nature and human life are in motion and cause interesting …

Hypothesis Among other functions, mucins hydrate and protect biological interfaces from
mechanical challenges. Mucins also attract interest as biocompatible coatings with excellent …
