Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal with very low permissible exposure limits and is, thus, a very dangerous pollutant for the environment and public health and is considered by...

Lipopeptide surfactants are highly effective at reducing interfacial tension. However, there is a general lack of understanding of the relationship between their molecular...

We have previously studied the adsorption of anti-beta-hCG at the hydrophilic silicon oxide/water interface and the subsequent binding by antigen hCG. We propose to extend this...

This research project addresses an overlooked, but fundamental issue of colloid science: surfactant adsorption dynamics at nanoparticle-organosolvent interfaces. Adsorption of...

We request NR beam time on SURF to study the impact of multivalent counterions on the surface adsorption of alkyloxyethylene sulfate surfactants and alkyloxyethylene sulphate /...

We propose to measure inelastic incoherent neustron scattering spectra of p-H2 adsorbed in situ in the metal-organic frameworks CPO-27-Fe(II) and CPO-27-Fe(III). These are two...

Many proteins exhibit a lag in lowering the surface tension at the air-water interface. The origin of this lag is not well understood either experimentally or theoretically. The...

This proposal is part of a broad programme of collaborative research between RAL / Oxford and Unilever, using predominantly scattering techniques to investigate the nature of...

We wish to understand the mechanism to which polymer brushes such as PEO resist the adsorption of protein and thus offer biocompatibility for various surface applications....

Polymer-surfactant mixtures are extensively used in a wide range of domestic, industrial and technological applications. This proposal is part of a collaboration between Oxford...

Increased environmental pressures and awareness is promoting a major drive towards an increased use of biosurfactants to produce more biosustainable and biodegradable consumer...

Lignin valorization is receiving increasing attention. We request 7 days on TOSCA to carry out inelastic neutron scattering (INS) study of two key chemical processes in lignin...

Studying surfactant and mixed surfactant adsorption on model solid surfaces, which mimic real surfaces such as fabrics, hair and skin, is starting to provide a real insight into...

We propose to investigate the interfacial adsorption of a series of water-soluble single chain PC surfactants using neutron reflection, focusing on assessing the effects of...

Bimetallic alloy catalysts with optimized metal ratio usually exhibit a superior catalytic hydrogenation activity and selectivity compared to individual mono-metallic catalysts,...

This is a new programme of work and a collaboration between CCLRC, Oxford, Unilever and Manchester. It is concerned with polymer aided deposition to solid substrates, using...

Polymer-surfactant stabilised emulsion droplets are a potentially exciting route for micro-encapsulation of volatile agents (such as perfumes, flavours and many other benefit...

Hydrophobins are secreted fungal proteins and are small lipopeptide biosurfactants. They are strongly surface active and self-assemble at interfaces. Their unique film forming...
