Small angle neutron and light scattering studies on mixed vesicle/micelle systems combined with a novel statistical-mechanical evaluation scheme

Objective



The aim of the programme is to experimentally test a novel theory regarding spontaneously formed long rod-shaped micelles and vesicles. The theory relates properties from the size distributions of the aggregates, i.e. average size and polydispersity, to energetic properties of the micelle and the vesicle bilayer. Small-angle neutron and light scattering methods are very useful in order to obtain information about size distributions of aggregates such as vesicles and rod-shaped micelles. We also intend to perform complementary measurements with CRYO-TEM (freeze fracture electron microscopy).
From our work we will obtain energetical information about the aggregates for a few systems at different solution states. We will also study the time course as the system is attaining thermodynamical equilibrium. The results will hopefully give a deeper theoretical understanding of the formation and stability of those aggregates.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
