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...

Large quantities of thermal energy can be stored reversibly in composite materials containing SrCl2 and Expanded Natural Graphite (ENG) upon exo-/endothermal ab-/desorption of...

Our group has been working functionalised cellulose nanofibrils which form gels in aqueous formulations. Previously we have used these fibrils to stabilise oil-in-water...

Conjugation of therapeutic proteins to polymers is well established but most methods result in multi-site and multiple conjugation, crosslinking resulting in lack of orientation...

Sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) is a low molecular weight gelator, widely known as one of the components of bile salts. Above a specific concentration, NaDC is able to form pH...

Ultrasound is a very attractive and patient-friendly imaging technique, as it is easy to use, fast and non-invasive. Nevertheless, its use is severely limited by the low...

Solar energy is the most abundant, sustainable, and environmentally friendly source of energy available on the earth. One promising approach to reducing the reliance on fossil...

This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the solution aggregation of collagen based polypeptides and their interactions with model surfactants....

Soft self-assembled structures have been extensively used as drug nanocarriers. Their building blocks, naturally occurring and synthetic amphiphiles (lipids or block...

Pluronic micelles are attractive candidates as drug carriers. Despite the abundance of data on their association with various drugs, there is, in contrast, very little...
