Control of shish formation in semicrystalline polymers
Measurements of shish structure in semicrystalline polymers after controlled shear-induced crystallizationA combinatorial approach developed to find the boundary conditions for... -
Mixed surfactants for dialable organogels
The idea is to be able to ¿dial-up¿ the length and properties of CO2-philic and organo-philic rod-like micelles. This proposal aims to explore mixed surfactant systems in... -
Unravelling the thermal denaturation and stability of the solution structures...
The glycosylation of glycoproteins is a major determinant of their stability, and glycans also affect their aggregatibility (precipitation). An understanding of this is... -
Understanding the microstructure of polymer blends used as control release co...
Solid oral dosage forms consist of polymer layer encapsulated drug-bound particles with a desired drug release profile e.g. pulsatile, controlled, delayed and targeted,... -
Structural changes of novel water-soluble organometallic gels
The aim of this proposal is to study the internal structure of novel organometallic polymers based on two metal-containing moieties -Ru, Au (or Ag)- bridged through a tridentate... -
Structural origin of anomalous relaxation behaviour in alcohol-water mixtures
In recent dielectric and calorimetric studies of some alcohol-water mixtures we have discovered unexpected and unexplained relaxation behaviours. Our aim with this proposal is... -
Curvature effects in polyelectrolyte-surfactant solution interactions
This proposal continues our investigations into polyelectrolyte-surfactant solutions which form thin films at the air-solution interface. Our previous work has investigated the... -

Micelle structures in unequal mixtures of amino-acid surfactants
In a previous proposal we started to study the micellar structures formed from biodegradable surfactants synthesised using amino acids as the headgroups. The aim of this work is... -
Nanosuspsomicroemulsions: nanosuspension stabilty
At Kings College London we have recently developed a novel combination formulation, a nanosuspsomicroemulsion (NSME), comprising of a microemulsion (ME) containing one drug and... -
New surfactants forming anisotropic micelles and microemulsions in CO2
An analogue of the popular surfactant AOT with isopropyl glycol tails (IG-AOT, Figure.1) has been recently designed as a co-surfactant for water-in-CO2 (w/c) systems: stable... -
Probing the effect of carbon chain length of hydrophobically modified polymer...
Competitive interaction exist in many formulations, especially in the case of hydrophobically modified polymers (HMPs), surfactants, and particles of differing surface... -
Dynamics of Oil Exchange in PIC Nanoemulsion - Dependence on the Systems Comp...
The dynamics of oil exchange in oil-in-water (O/W) nanoemulsions produced spontaneously by the phase inverse concentration (PIC) method is only little known so far. In this... -
AGGREGATION BEHAVIOUR OF A NOVEL P-AOT SURFACTANT
This proposal aims to provide essential surfactant micellisation structural information of significant interest in its own right but also as key information for our on-going... -
Kinetic Study of the Mechanistic Complexation Process Between DNA and Cationi...
We propose to use the new SANS2d to study the dynamic structural evolution in the couse of the formation of DNA-cationic polymer complexes. The dynamic process and the mixing... -
Protein-decorated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles
The aim of this research is to understand the structural confirmation of dextran coated iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles in the presence of Bovine serum albumin (BSA) in aqueous... -
Constructing analogues of gemini and oligomeric surfactants through noncovale...
Gemini-like and oligomeric-like surfactants can be constructed by single-chain or gemini surfacants with connecting molecules through noncovalent binding without complicated... -
Polystrene chain conformations in good solvents and electrospun fibres
This proposal is centered on the preparation of nanoscale fibres prepared by electrospinning and is the focus of the final year PhD programme of Saeed Mohan. These experiments... -
interaction of a pharmaceutical water-soluble polymer with bio-relevant surfa...
We have been developing hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) microspheres for delivering poorly water-soluble drugs. The in vitro dissolution data showed that the presence of... -
