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...

We propose to use neutron reflection to study the interfacial adsorption of 2 novel bispecific therapeutic antibodies at the silicon oxide/water interface. To enpower each of...

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...

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

Following our previous study of adsorption of globular lysozyme and BSA, we continue to explore how another globular protein hydrophobin adsorbs at the oil/water interface by...

Following our previous study of adsorption of globular lysozyme and BSA, we continue to explore how different globular proteins adsorb at the oil/water interface by neutron...

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

In this work we explore how to use neutron reflection to study protein adsorption at the oil/water interface. Inter is preferred because we have built technical capability on...

Nonionic surfactants usually do not show affinity to proteins and they work via competitive surface and interfacial processes in a binary mixture with protein. However, we show...

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

We have previously shown that peptides such as G(IIKK)4I-NH2 (G4) can kill bacteria and inhibit cancer cell growth whilst remaining benign to mammalian host cells. We have also...

The adsorption at the silica water (both hydrophilic) interface of anionics can be induced by the addition of non ionics, the degree of which provides information on the surface...

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...

Following our previous study of adsorption of Fc, Fab and the constituent mAb COE-3, we continue to explore how two bioengineered mAbs adsorb at the oil/water interface by...

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...

Following our previous study of adsorption of globular lysozyme and BSA at the oil/water interface by neutron reflection, we continue to explore how unfolding of globular...

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

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...
