Structural Observation of the Self-Assembly Kinetics of Cyclic Peptide Nanotubes
Cyclic peptides with alternating side chain stereochemistry are capable of self-assembling into long nanotubes. The conjugation of polymers to these peptides renders the... -
Optimizing micellar drug solubilisation using surfactant designed with a hydr...
In our recent research at Kings we have shown that significant increases in micellar drug solubilization can be achieved by matching' the hydrophobe of a drug with the... -
Surface properties of biogenic polyaminesurfactant mixtures
Polyions and biogenic polyamine are ubiquitous in many important biochemical functions. We propose here to use neutron reflectivity to investigate their potential to induce and... -
Humidity Effects on Surface Segregation in Plasticized Poly-Vinyl Alcohol Films
PVA film is widely used as a non-toxic water soluble polymer. This proposal relates to its use in unit dose detergent pouches where plasticised PVA film stores a concentrated... -
Neutron Diffraction Studies of Vanadium Sulfate Cathode Materials
Vanadium based compounds have attracted considerable interest as positive electrode materials for Li ion batteries. This is due to vanadiums ability to display a range of... -
Model Amphiphilic Deep Eutectic Liquids
Deep eutectic liquids (DELs) - mixtures of high melting-point solids that form stable liquids near room temperature ¿ have recently emerged as a new class of novel solvents with...
