In this work we explore how our rationally designed peptide amphiphiles bind onto lipid monolayers using neutron reflection combined with deuterium labelling to the lipids,...

In this proposal, we request beamtime to study the very unexpected adsorption behaviour of the surfactant bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate potassium and ammonium salt (K(AOT)...

The proposed experiment will focus on determining the level of texture memory and variant selection on both heating and cooling for steel and titanium and zirconium alloys with...

The proposal develops recent observations on spin-lattice coupling in incommensurate materials (objective - measure influence of applied field on evolution of structural...

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...

Neutron reflection has been successfully used to measure the conformation of proteins adsorbed at the oil/water interface. However, in several such experiments, hexadecane has...

In a previous SAXS experiment at Max-Lab (Sweden) we observed that the thermotropic mesophase transitional behaviour of the monoolein(MO):cholesterol:water system was...

The spontaneous selfassembly of nanoparticles (NP) at liquid-liquid interfaces is a phenomenon present in nature and relevant for many applications, such as, emulsion...

The structures of emulsions formed from mixed oil-soluble and water-soluble amphiphiles (respectively derivatives of polyisobutylene, PIBSA, and polyacrylamide, PAM) will be...

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...

We have recently observed unusual magnetostrictive behaviour in Bi0.5La0.5FeO3 (BLFO), a phenomenon which is not present in either solid solution end member. This proposal seeks...

The aim of this proposal is the application of the scaling model for the adsorption of proteins at the oil-water interface. The adsorbed amount for a series of oils as a...

N-acyl amino acids are surfactants with attractive applications in different technological fields. They are referred to as mild surfactants because they are commonly considered...

For many applications such as paints, foods and drug formulations, aggregation of colloidal particles is prevented by combining polymer and surfactant adsorption. Key to this...

Mixtures of colloidal particles of essentially two different sizes are commonly used in technological applications such as film formation on surfaces, paper coatings, etc....

The structure of ionic liquids at charged interfaces is an exciting and vibrant area of current research. Previous surface force apparatus experiments have shown layering up to...

The stratum corneum which is mainly composed of mixture of lipids, cholesterols and fatty provide a formidable barrier for drug penetration through skin. In this proposal, we...

Biopharmaceuticals are manufactured using chromatographic procedures including adsorption and desorption processes at the solid-liquid interface. These events take place in...

Polyamide-imides are an important class of engineering polymers whose applications often call for high wear resistance whilst maintaining suitable lubrication. An understanding...

Determination of the position of hydrogen in inorganic materials such as zeolites, coordination compounds, H2 storage materials, energy materials, organometallics etc is a...
