A number of studies have determined that non-ionic surfactants are capable of altering diffusionrates and transportation of both water and active ingredients thorough the waxy...

We have designed a series of cationic peptides with different helix repeats. Our studies revealed that the peptides readily inserted into the anionic phospholipid monolayer and...

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

Cuticular wax films protect plants by mediating water and nutrient transport from the environment. Surfactant is a key ingredient in agrisprays that can promote the uptake of...

We propose to explore how to use NR to study the structural features of the reconstituted plant wax films, capturing the main structural characteristics. In addition, we propose...

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

This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding how surface active polypeptides interact with ionic surfactants using SANS. Both SDS and C12TAB will be...

We have designed a series of cationic peptides with different helix repeats that can kill bacteria but remain benign to mammalian host cells. The selectivity to cell types is...

We have recently been able to form a thin graphene oxide (GO) film with uniform thickness around 30±2Å from aqueous GO suspensions by spin coating (onto small wafers for...

We have designed a series of cationic peptides with different helix repeats that can kill bacteria but remain benign to mammalian host cells. The selectivity to cell types is...

An experiment performed on INTER last year found extreme non ideal mixing between C12E8/SLES3 at the air water interface: this feature became more extreme as the temperature...

An eggshell membrane polypeptide is highly surface active and effective at emulsion stabilization. We explore how to use SANS to study the interfacial layers surrounding the...

Nature manages to assemble varieties of biomolecules with intricate functions successfully and delicately and creates lives on our planet. Multiple levels of self-sorting...

A number of studies have determined that non-ionic surfactants are capable of altering diffusion rates and transportation of both water and active ingredients thorough the waxy...

The effects of electrolytes on SLES3, C12E8 and LAS4 has been extensively studied, especially the effect on the critical micelle concentration of each surfactant. We wish to...

Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly to lead to interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation....

This work proposes one of our first oil/water interface measurements in collaboration with Dr Ali Zarbakhsh at Queen Mary College London and Dr John Webster at ISIS Neutron...
