Interfacial Adsorption of Soluble Amino-Acid Based Surfactants in Mixtures wi...
Amino acid based surfactants have been known for many years, but so far few detailed studies have been carried out on their properties. We are using amino acids extracted from... -
PEG-Deep Eutectic Solvents for Nanoparticle Synthesis
Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are complexes of organic salts and neutral hydrogen bond donors. They are tuneable, low volatility liquids that are environmentally benign and which... -
Mixed Amino-Acid Based Surfactant Monolayers
Amino acid based surfactants have been known for many years but so far few detailed studies have been carried out on their properties. We are using amino acids extracted from... -
Zwitterionic Polymers for Lipid Nanodisc Stabilisation
Polymer stabilized lipid nanodiscs offer enormous potential as tools for enabling membrane protein structural studies & biophysics. Previously we studied discs formed using... -
Self-assembled Floating Lipid Bilayers: What Forces Are Causing the Bilayer t...
Recently (RB19100102) we have discovered that floating bilayers composed of fluid phase lipids can be produced by deposited vesicles onto charge modified oligo(ethylene... -
Encapsulation of Hydrophobic Species in Surfactant Micelles
Our recent work demonstrates that the details of water structure around micelles are now accessible using Empirical Potential Structure Refinement methods combined with neutron... -
Ion Binding in Tetradecyltrimethylammonium Surfactant Micelle Solutions
This proposal continues our studies of surfactant micelles using NIMROD, to obtain previously inaccessible details of headgroup-ion interactions. In our previous experiments... -
Structural Studies of Mixed Monolayers of Sulfobetaines with Phospholipids
Sulfobetaines are zwitterionic surfactants where the headgroup charges are arranged in the opposite manner to those found in phosphotidylcholine lipid headgroups. Sulfobetaines... -
Anion effects on self-assembly in deep eutectic solvents.
Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are mixtures of an organic salt with a hydrogen bond donor that form strong interactions which hinder crystallisation. DES share many features with... -
Self-assembly of Polyoxometallate Surfactants in Aqueous Solutions
Polyoxometallates (POM) are well defined transition metal clusters with a range of interesting catalytic, magnetic and optical properties. To make efficient use of these... -
