The Kinetics of Self-Exchange of a Protein at Solid/Liquid interfaces
The formation of a protein corona occurs on all surfaces exposed to biological systems and understanding of how this corona forms is vital for many aspects of medicine and for... -
Structural role of magnesium in aluminosilicate glass
A combination of high real-space resolution neutron diffraction and 27Al and 29Si NMR experiments will be used to measure the structure of glassy MgO-Al2O3-SiO2. A focus will be... -
Quantifying the Asymmetry in Cell Membrane Mimetic Supported Lipid Bilayers.
Cell membranes are characterised by complex lipid composition and asymmetric distribution of lipids (lipids facing the outside of the cell are different from the lipids that are... -
Adsorption of Bispecific Monoclonal Antibodies with Extended Domains at the O...
Following our previous study of interfacial adsorption of the basic version mAb COE-3, we wish to continue this work by exploring how two modified mAbs adsorb at the same... -
The structure of glycerol mono oleate at the iron oxide/dodecane interface
The reliability of combustion engines is enhanced by lubrication, which provides wear protection along with reduced emissions and fuel consumption through the minimisation of... -
Impact of Protein Nanosheet Structure on Nanoscale Toughness
Cell adhesion and proliferation at the surface of liquids such as oil droplets is a surprising phenomenon as it is typically accepted in the field of bioengineering that cells... -
THE CONFORMATIONAL BEHAVIOUR OF ANTIOXIDANT CHROMONES
The present work aims at studying a series of potentially chemopreventive chromones by Inelastic Neutron Scattering spectroscopy, in view of achieving a complete understanding... -
Adsorption of bioengineered antibodies at the oil/water interface
Following our previous study of interfacial adsorption of the basic version mAb COE-3, we wish to continue this work by exploring how two modified mAbs adsorb at the same... -
NR study of binding of short antimicrobial alpha-helix peptides with model li...
In this work we explore how our rationally designed peptide amphiphiles bind onto lipid monolayers using neutron reflection combined with deuterium labelling to the lipids,... -
Effects of confinement on polymeric surfactants
Polymeric stabilisers are often used in the preparation of emulsions and dispersions of particles. The purpose of this additive is to help keep the mixture stable so that it can... -
Adsorbtion from nematic mixtures
The aim is to measure the preferential adsorption of one component in a nematic mixture. The base is 4-pentyl 4¿- cyanobiphenyl (5CB) and it is doped with 4-pentyl 4¿-... -
Bulk interactions of surfactant molecules in aqueous particle suspensions
Surfactants represent an important class of compounds owing to their ability to readily locate at interfaces, be it airliquid, liquidliquid or solidliquid. As such,... -
Competition at the nanoparticle surface: one polymer, two surfactants, many p...
Polymers and surfactants are key components in detergency. Understanding their interactions is essential to formulate smartly. Detergent formulations usually contain a mixture... -
Mechanisms of shear stability in emulsions
High internal phase water-in-oil emulsions can be efficiently stabilised by polymer amphiphiles for a static emulsion, and also show high shear stabillity even at elevated... -
Shear Stability of Emulsions in the Presence of Co-Surfactants with Various C...
High internal phase aqueous-in-oil emulsions prepared by oil-soluble polyisobutylenesuccinicanhydride (PIBSA) with a water-soluble co-surfactant n-alkylpolyacrylamide (PAM)... -
Binding Particles with Proteins at Interfaces
Understanding and controlling the interaction of nanoparticles with biomaterials is key to alleviation of concerns about nanotoxicity. This knowledge can also be used to design...
