In this study we focussed on the question of how to grow crystals as large as possible in light of their use as samples for neutron protein crystallography. We investigated the early stages of the crystallisation process where the directions are set between the growth of many small crystals or few large ones. We used lysozyme since it is considered as a model system for crystal growth. Small...

We have developed a simulation package 'MSca' to provide an analysis
tool for multiple scattering effects in backscattering spectrometers
such as SPHERES. Multiple scattering has non-trivial wavevector and
energy transfer dependency and is thus difficult to tackle by analytical
methods only. Also, due to the geometry of backscattering instruments,
there are additional multiple scattering...

We study nanocomposites consisting of a polymer matrix which consists of hydrophobically modified ethoxylated urethane polymers (HEUR) with embedded coated magnetite nanoparticles. Two different kinds of coatings are compared namely the hydrophobic coating, composed of oleic acid and oleylamine, and the hydrophilic coating composed of a cationic surfactant, C18TAB, as an additional layer to...

In pharmaceutical sciences, determining the partition coefficient P of a drug is a must, as this quantifies the drug solubility and distribution in the body. P is defined as the ratio of a drug concentration in a mixture of two immiscible phases, usually octanol and water. It implies that the two phases are structurally unaffected by the drug. SAXS reveals that octanol, as well as octanol in...
