Solubilisation of Drug Molecules in Nonionic Surfactant Micelles: Structural ...
This proposal aims to understand how the structure of non-ionic surfactant micelles affects the amount of fungicides solubilised. SANS is a technique unique for unravelling the... -
Interactions between phenylboronic acid modified polyacrylamides and surfactants
We are currently investigating phenylboronic acid modified polyacrylamides with variable phenylboronic acid block lengths as a route to glucose sensors with controllable... -
Folated derivatized nanoemulsions for the treatment of cancer
Nanoemulsions (NE) i.e. nanoparticles containing a fluid lipid or oil dispersed in water and stabilized by a surfactant particles have attracted considerable attention as... -
Encapsulation of perfume actives with biodegradable amphiphilic graft copolymers
Amphiphilic non-linear graft copolymers formed by biocompatible blocks are attractive candidates for the encapsulation of actives in several applications, such as drug delivery,... -
Nanoarchitecture of polyprotein hydrogels
The properties of hydrogels are defined not only by their chemical composition, but also the spatial organization of their components. Applications that require a higher level... -
Smart dendrimersomes for biosensing and triggered delivery
Dendrimersomes are an exciting new class of vesicles, comprising bilayers of dendrimer molecules that can be engineered to have sensitivity to e.g. changes in pH and enzymes.... -
Characterisation of self-assembly in cationic-oligoanion mixtures: from micel...
The proposal is part of an EPSRC funded programme (EP/GR065705) on surfactant multilayer structures, and involves the interaction between ionic surfactants and oligoions. It... -
Competitive adsorption of a Biosurfactant conventional surfactant mixture at ...
We propose to study the competitive adsorption of a biosurfactant conventional surfactant mixture at the surface of an emulsion droplet in order to determine how these two... -
Investigation of cement pore structure evolution in underground repository co...
It is proposed that radioactive waste generated in the Netherlands be buried underground in Boom clay formations. As this will need to be stored for hundreds of thousands of... -
Interactions between alkylmethacrylate modifed polymers and surfactant micelles
We have observed formation of polymer-surfactant films at the air interface having a range of structures, related to their solution interactions. The films form with... -
How do demulsifiers work? A SANS study of model oil-water interfaces.
The project is to understand fundamental structure-performance relationships of chemical demulsifiers in water-in-crude oil (w/o) systems. In particular, to understand how... -

Elucidating the microstructure of dipeptide-based gelators
Dipeptide-based gelators can form hydrogels at low concentrations using a number of means. We have found that the method by which the gels are formed can have a profound effect... -
SANS from photoconductive hydrogel mixtures and their gelators.
Hydrogels are formed from a self?assembled network of fibres made up of small molecules (gelators) trap and hold water at just 1% by weight, or less, from the solution they are... -
Impact of particle properties on the structure of supramolecular hydrogels
For biomaterial applications, it is important that the properties of self-assembled hydrogels are well controlled and match the requirements of the application. The influence of... -
The structure of particle stabilised foams
Many formulated products pass through or end up as foams, comprising immiscible millimeter sized bubbles dispersed into an aqueous continuous phase. Frequently, surfactants or... -
A Time-Resolved SANS Study of the Gelation Mechanisms of Tetrapeptide Hydroge...
Time-resolved SANS will be used to investigate the mechanisms and kinetics of ordering of aseries of novel designed tetrapeptide-based hydrogelators. These inexpensive materials... -
Effects of pH and ionic strength on stability and structure of lipid-polymer ...
Nanostructured lipid aggregates offer enormous potential as tools for membrane structural biology and biophysics. Styrene-Maleic Acid Lipid Particles have a number of attractive... -
E/T scaling and quantum critical fluctuations in Sr3Ru2O7
Nowadays, Fe3O4 iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 MNPs) have attracted attention as highly performing contrast agents for Magnetic Resonance Imaging technique (MRI), aiming to... -
CO2 foams stabilized by W/CO2 interfacially active hydrocarbon surfactants an...
CO2 foams can be formed in water/carbon dioxide (W/CO2) mixtures with the aid of W/CO2 interfacially active hydrocarbon surfactants and surface treated silica nanoparticles...
