This proposal forms part of an ongoing project concerning interpenetrating network gels of starch and cellulose being developed towards applications in personal care and...

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...

This proposal aims to investigate the interaction of oxidised cellulose nanofibrils (OCNF) and anionic surfactants, such as sodium laureth sulphate (SLES) and sodium lauroyl...

This proposal aims to investigate the interaction of hydrophobically modified oxidised cellulose nanofibrils (HM-OCNF) with surfactants or soluble starch, in order to find new...

Polymer stabilized lipid nanodiscs offer enormous potential as tools for enabling membrane protein structural studies & biophysics. Previously we studied discs formed using...

Our group has been studying partially oxidised anionic cellulose (AC) nanofibrils which form gels in the presence of moderate salt concentrations and with anionic surfactants....

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...

Polyoxometallates (POM) are well defined transition metal clusters with a range of interesting catalytic, magnetic and optical properties. To make efficient use of these...

Our group has been working cellulose nanofibrils (OCNF) which form hydrogels in the presence of certain additives. Previously, we have studied the effect of salt, single...

In a previous proposal we started to study the micellar structures formed from biodegradable surfactants synthesised using amino acids as the headgroups. The aim of this work is...

Beta-cyclodextrins (b-CD) are well tolerated in humans without toxic side effects and present in several injectable drug formulations, due to their ability to form host-guest...

In the previous round we trialled use of the new techniques enabled on Larmor which permit simultaneous measurements of nanoscale and macroscale structure. These experiments...

Our group has been working functionalised cellulose nanofibrils which form gels in aqueous formulations. Previously we have used these fibrils to stabilise oil-in-water...

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...

Poly(Styrene-Maleic Acid) (SMA) is increasingly used in the formation of lipid-nanodiscs for structural membrane studies and biophysics. These polymer-formed nanodiscs are an...
