Comparative Interaction Studies of Antimicrobial Agents on Bacterial Membrane...
The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-Negative bacteria (GNB) is an asymmetric structure which contains complex lipids known as lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) on the outer surface. LPSs... -
On the peculiarities of the structure of particle stabilised foam
Many formulated products pass through or end up as foams, comprising immiscible millimeter sized bubbles dispersed into an aqueous continuous phase. Frequently, surfactants or... -
A sustainability study of the galvanic deposition of silver from novel deep e...
The immersion deposition of silver onto copper and brass from deep eutectic solvents (DES) is a novel method for protecting the surface of printed circuit boards. Background... -
Surface properties of biogenic polyaminesurfactant mixtures
Polyions and biogenic polyamine are ubiquitous in many important biochemical functions. We propose here to use neutron reflectivity to investigate their potential to induce and... -
Multilayering of Methyl Ester Sulphonates at the Air-Aqueous Interface
Surfactants usually form a single layer of molecules at the surface of water. We have shown, surprisingly, that under certain conditions more than one layer may form. When this... -
Dynamics of amyloid protein fibril elongation using isotope-labelled SANS
This proposal combines optical spectroscopy with neutron scattering using novel labelling strategies to investigate ?amyloid? protein fibrils. Variations in packing and in the... -
Interaction of keratin with surfactants studied by SANS
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding how keratin, an important protein component of hair and skin, interacts with ionic surfactants using... -
SANS study of the structure of surfactant stabilised Pt and Ru nanoparticles
Surfactants have been used to bind and disperse Pt and Ru nanoparticles during their synthesis. In this work, we propose to use SANS to determine the thickness and packing... -
Surface Layer Structures of Short Peptide Amphiphiles
Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly, leading to interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation.... -
Polymer conjugates for drug delivery
Complex polymer architectures such as comb polymers have been studied for their highly customisable chemical properties. Potential applications have been identified in a wide... -
The Effect of Temperature on the Formation of Surfactant-Metal Ion Multilayer...
We have now established that multilayering at the air-water interface is a widespread phenomenon brought about by multivalent ions, whether polyelectrolyte, oligoelectrolyte or... -

Interaction of keratin with surfactants studied by SANS
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding how keratin, an important protein component of hair and skin, interacts with ionic surfactants using... -
Investigating methods to create cavities within templated electrodeposited po...
Nanoporous membranes are widely used in (bio)sensors, chromatography, charge storage devices, filtration and catalysis. With increasing efforts to develop microfabricated sytem-... -
Self-assembly of polymer-stabilised cyclopeptide nanotubes
SANS will be used to determine the structure of nanotube dispersions formed by H-bond stacking of cyclopeptides coated with a sheath of stabilizing polymer. Cyclopeptide... -
Self-assembly in ethyl ester sulfonate surfactants in the presence of electro...
The methyl ester sulfonate. MES, and ethyl ester sulfonate, EES, are representative of a promising group of anionic surfactants which have the potential for improved performance... -
Micelle formation from model surfactant binary and ternary compositions in th...
The effects of electrolytes on SLES3, C12E8 and LAS4 has been extensively studied, especially the effect on the critical micelle concentration of each surfactant. We wish to... -
Interaction of polypeptide with surfactant: SANS study of solution aggregation
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the solution aggregation of collagen based polypeptides and their interactions with model surfactants.... -
Insight into the atomic and intermediate level structure of spherical and rod...
Here we propose to look at the structure of two phosphocholine lipids, and their larger scale structures in aqueous solution. Depending on the length of the fatty acid chain in... -
Solution aggregation of lipopeptides: SANS structure determination
Lipopeptide surfactants are highly effective at reducing interfacial tension. However, there is a general lack of understanding of the relationship between their molecular...
