To understand better the properties of non-lamellar liquid crystalline nanoparticles, LCNP, as delivery vehicles or surface modifying systems, it is crucial to understand how...

This proposal is about the development of sustainable detergency based formulations, based on the blending of biosurfactants with conventional surfactants, and is part of a CASE...

The formation of protein layers on surfaces is important for medical implants and for the consequences of the ingestion of nanoparticles. In the body, a surface is exposed to a...

To better understand the properties of non-lamellar liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LCNP) as delivery vehicles, it is crucial to understand their internal structure and the...

This proposal is part of a major EPSRC (EP/GR065705)/Unilever funded programme to develop and control the spontaneous formation of surfactant multilayer structures at...

The balance of proteins adsorbed at a surface is important in a wide range of situations, e.g. implants, nanoparticles. The accepted model is that rapidly diffusing proteins...

This proposal is part of a broad collaboration between Oxford, CCLRC, and Unilever in the study of surfactants and mixed surfactants at interfaces and in solution. This is an...

The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at interfaces from surfactant self-assembly is an important structural signature associated with a wide range of technological...

The formation of multilayer structures at surfaces and interfaces from self-assembly in mixed surfactant and in polymer / surfactant mixtures has been recently reported, and...

Hydrophobins, hfb2, are secreted fungal proteins, which are strongly surface active and possess powerful emulsion and foam stabilising properties. Understanding their...

Hydrophobins are secreted fungal proteins in the form of small lipopetide biosurfactants. They are strongly surface active and self assemble at interfaces and in solution. This...

In the context of home and personal care products, studying surfactant and mixed surfactant adsorption ion model solid surfaces, which mimic real surfaces such as fabrics, hair...

The proposal is part of an EPSRC funded programme (EP/GR065705) on surfactant multilayer structures, and involves the interaction between ionic surfactants and oligoions. It...

The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at interfaces by surfactant self-assembly is emerging as an important and more common structural signature associated with a...

Hydrophobins are secreted fungal proteins in the form of small lipopetide biosurfactants. They are strongly surface active and self-assemble at interfaces and in solution. This...

Protein-surfactant interactions at an interface play an important role for broad applications in the chemical, dairy, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Rubisco is the most...

By applying the regular solution model (RS) to the determination of composition in a mixed surfactant layer adsorbed at a hydrophilic solid/aqueous interfaceand combining it...

New detergents will increasingly rely on sustainable products and the use of enzymes will become ever more important. However, the process of destruction of stains (often...

Previous data obtained from neutron reflection shown in Figure 1 has clearly shown that the surface excess of some surfactants when adsorbed from aqueous solution to a sapphire...

The mixture of lead titanate (PbTiO3) and lead zirconate (PbZrO3), known as PbZr1-xTixO3 (PZT), is commonly used in a wide range of applications (sensors, actuators, etc)...
