Non-equilibrium kinetics in highly interacting polymer mixtures
We seek to investigate the non-equilibrium phenomena of a model polymer mixture by time-solved SANS and temperature jump experiments within (a) one-phase region and (b) one to... -
Spontaneous surfactant multilayer formation at interfaces induced by multival...
The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at interfaces from surfactant self-assembly is now emerging as an important structural signature associated with a wide range... -
Understanding the skin barrier design: identifying the conformation of cerami...
The stratum corneum layer of the skin acts as a barrier between the body and the external environment. This is achieved by dead corneocytes encased in a lamellar lipid matrix,... -
Structure of Zwitterionic Surfactants of Varying Headgroup: Interaction with ...
Zwitterionics (here, alkyldimethylammonium carboxybetaines) are widely used in applications which require "mildness", e g cosmetics and isolation of membrane proteins, although... -
Investigation of phosphatidylcholine and its interaction with 1,2 propandiol ...
The aim of the present study is to use neutron diffraction enhanced with isotopic substitution and subsequent computer simulations to determine the head group solvation of a... -
Surface activity of antibacterial agents
This proposal is aimed at understanding the surface activity of the antibacterial agent, Triclosan, in the presence of surfactants. We request NR beam time on SURF to... -
The interaction of cytochrome c with floating bilayers containing negatively ...
As research on apoptosis has gained momentum, the importance of membrane lipids in this crucial cellular process is becoming clear.Previously, we have determined using NR and...
