Molecular deuteration of organic compounds and biomolecules significantly increases options available in characterisation and complex structure function investigations using neutron scattering and reflectometry, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrometry (MS) and other techniques by providing contrast and improved data resolution and creates functional materials with superior...
The molecular deuteration of organic compounds and biomolecules is an essential requirement in many neutron scattering and other characterization techniques. This need has been increasingly recognized by neutron facilities and research groups around the world. The custom synthesis of deuterated molecules can be laborious and costly to achieve optimum chemical as well as isotopic purity. Users...
Epoxy resins have been widely used as adhesives in various fields. However, the fundamental factors to determine the adhesion performance have been still unclear although adhesion techniques are actively developed from the practical points of view. In this study, neutron reflectometry (NR) with deuterated materials was conducted to elucidate the relationship between the nanometric structure of...
Sugar-based surfactants are recognized as green surfactants and widely used in various applications ranged from viscosity modifier to pharmaceutical applications. However, only a scarce number of examples were reported to exhibit non-Newtonian rheological behaviour, and equally underexplored is the strategy to fine-tune the rheological profile. Our recent study shed light on this area by...
