Zwitterionics (here, alkyldimethylammonium carboxybetaines) are widely used in applications which require "mildness", e g cosmetics and isolation of membrane proteins, although...

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) are promising candidates for building integrated photovoltaics. The use of multiple dyes simultaneously, co-sensitization, promises improved...

Dynamic microdomains, resulting from lateral lipid inhomogeneity and patterning within biological membranes, have been implicated in a wide range of critical cellular processes...

Tolaasin is a lipodepsipeptide (lipo = hydrophobic side chain, depsipeptide is an amino acid ring closed in a particular way) produced by strains of Pseudomonas tolaasii, and it...

Acyl L-Carnitines are a group of novel surfactants with attractive physical and biological properties associated with their head group charge features. This work proposes to use...

Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are stable compounds and commercially desirable. They are widely used, for example, as surfactants in textile and paper products and in aqueous...

The biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce reliance on palm and crude oil derived materials, demand that Home and Personal Care industries develops...

Biosurfactants are becoming more commonplace in pharmaceuticals, vaccines and other forms of medicines. With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce...

The understanding of the plant wax-surfactant interaction process is crucial to the development of more effective pesticide and fungicide formulations, essential for improving...

Iron sword and knife were two important weapons in history. They represented the highest level of iron technology available in Iron Age. Xi’an is the starting place of the Silk...

The balance of different influences on adsorption such as electrostatic attaction to an interface, repulsion between charged adsorbates and solven interactions provides the rich...

The nitrogen doped mesoporous carbon microsphere (N-MCM) with palladium nanoparticle (Pd/N-MCM) has been investigated for its excellent catalytic activity for...

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

Anti-freeze proteins (AFP¿s) inhibit ice growth through the binding of a predominantly hydrophobic surface on the globular protein to particular crystal planes of ice. AFP¿s are...

The overall objective is to model the amount and composition of adsorbed mixtures of three types of zwitterionic surfactant and two charged surfactants at the silica/water...

The project aims to probe the relationship between surfactant structure, the micelles formed in solution, and the type of drug molecules that the micelles solubilise. Once...

As a new group of synthetic biosurfactants, the acyl-L-carnitines offer potential for different applications including working as edible biocides. Whilst extensive studies have...

Liquid crystalline particles consisting of glycerol dioleate (GDO) / soy phosphatidylcholine (SPC) mixture and stabilised by polysorbate 80 (P80) have proven to be suitable as...
