Dynamic micellar size control in mixtures of Pluronic, AOT and cyclodextrins
Polymeric micelles offer considerable potential for drug delivery as they present similar features to natural carriers and also show promise in the emerging field of... -
Salt effects on gelation of oxidised cellulose nanofibrils with nonionic surf...
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.... -
Structure of antibiotic mixtures in lung surfactant membrane models at the ai...
Clarithromycin and Levofloxacin are essential antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections such as tuberculosis and pneumonia. Lung surfactants may be used as drug carrier of... -
Nanoarchitecture of polyprotein hydrogels
The properties of hydrogels are defined not only by their chemical composition, but also the spatial organization of their components. Applications that require a higher level... -
Pickering emulsions stabilized with oxidised cellulose nanofibrils and starch
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... -
Polyoxometallate surfactant adsorption at solution surfaces
Polyoxometallates (POM) are well defined transition metal clusters with a range of interesting catalytic, magnetic and optical properties. To make efficient use of these... -
Cationic surfactants as non-covalent linker for cellulose nanofibrils and sta...
This proposal forms part of an ongoing project concerning interpenetrating network gels of starch and cellulose being developed towards applications in personal care and... -
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...
