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... -
Organization of mitochondrial membranes upon oxidative stress: Impact on apop...
Mitochondria are not only the powerhouse of the cell, but are also involved in cellular suicide via apoptosis (programmed cell death). The mitochondrial apoptotic pathway is a... -
Surface composition in the physical developer process for latent fingerprint ...
Physical developer (PD) is a latent fingerprint development technique that is highly effective on paper and related surfaces, notably banknotes. The process exploits a redox... -
The effect of phospholipid on the adsorption of HSA at a solid surface
As part of a project concerning the fate of nanoparticles in the body we have been studying the kinetic and competitive (or cooperative) aspects of protein adsorption. HSA is... -
Solution aggregation of lipopeptides: SANS structure determination
Lipopeptide surfactants are highly effective at reducing interfacial tension. However, there is a general lack of understanding of the relationship between their molecular... -
Insight into the atomic and intermediate level structure of spherical and rod...
Here we propose to look at the structure of two phosphocholine lipids, and their larger scale structures in aqueous solution. Depending on the length of the fatty acid chain in... -
Interaction of polypeptide with surfactant: SANS study of solution aggregation
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the solution aggregation of collagen based polypeptides and their interactions with model surfactants.... -
Micelle formation from model surfactant binary and ternary compositions in th...
The effects of electrolytes on SLES3, C12E8 and LAS4 has been extensively studied, especially the effect on the critical micelle concentration of each surfactant. We wish to... -
Self-assembly in ethyl ester sulfonate surfactants in the presence of electro...
The methyl ester sulfonate. MES, and ethyl ester sulfonate, EES, are representative of a promising group of anionic surfactants which have the potential for improved performance... -
Self-assembly of polymer-stabilised cyclopeptide nanotubes
SANS will be used to determine the structure of nanotube dispersions formed by H-bond stacking of cyclopeptides coated with a sheath of stabilizing polymer. Cyclopeptide... -
Investigating methods to create cavities within templated electrodeposited po...
Nanoporous membranes are widely used in (bio)sensors, chromatography, charge storage devices, filtration and catalysis. With increasing efforts to develop microfabricated sytem-... -

The Effect of Temperature on the Formation of Surfactant-Metal Ion Multilayer...
We have now established that multilayering at the air-water interface is a widespread phenomenon brought about by multivalent ions, whether polyelectrolyte, oligoelectrolyte or... -
Polymer conjugates for drug delivery
Complex polymer architectures such as comb polymers have been studied for their highly customisable chemical properties. Potential applications have been identified in a wide... -
Surface Layer Structures of Short Peptide Amphiphiles
Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly, leading to interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation.... -
SANS study of the structure of surfactant stabilised Pt and Ru nanoparticles
Surfactants have been used to bind and disperse Pt and Ru nanoparticles during their synthesis. In this work, we propose to use SANS to determine the thickness and packing... -

Dynamics of amyloid protein fibril elongation using isotope-labelled SANS
This proposal combines optical spectroscopy with neutron scattering using novel labelling strategies to investigate ?amyloid? protein fibrils. Variations in packing and in the... -
Multilayering of Methyl Ester Sulphonates at the Air-Aqueous Interface
Surfactants usually form a single layer of molecules at the surface of water. We have shown, surprisingly, that under certain conditions more than one layer may form. When this...
