Mixed Amino-Acid Based Surfactant Monolayers
Amino acid based surfactants have been known for many years but so far few detailed studies have been carried out on their properties. We are using amino acids extracted from... -
Amino-Acid Based Surfactant Monolayers on a Range of Subphases
Amino acid based surfactants have been known for many years but so far few detailed studies have been carried out on their properties. We are using amino acids extracted from... -
Surface charge induced layering of ionic liquids on mica
The structure of ionic liquids at charged interfaces is an exciting and vibrant area of current research. Previous surface force apparatus experiments have shown layering up to... -
Autoxidation vs. Ozonolysis of Surfactant Mixtures Containing Poly-unsaturate...
Surface-active molecules with water-loving and water-hating parts have been found to contribute substantially to the man-made urban aerosol load originating from cooking... -

Oxidation of thin film at the air-water interface of cloud droplets using REA...
The Earth's climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important effects. Common... -
manipulating surface adsorption usinf ethoxylated polyelectrolytes
The strong interaction between polyelectrolytes and ionic surfactants can result in pronounced surface adsorption and the formation of surface multilayer structures. This... -
D2O Vapour Diffusion at the Air Water Interface
A theoretical estimate of the H/D exchange rate for an open trough (e.g. D2O in ambient atmosphere, 50% relative humidity) yields an amount of exchanged liquid of the order of... -
Membrane-stacking properties of myelin proteins
Myelin is the multilamellar structure that ensheaths axons and accelerates nervous impulses in the nervous system. The fine structure of myelin remains to be further... -
Dynamic Surface excess concentration of pH-responsive chelating surfactants
This study will examine a process of slow dynamic change in surface excess of a unique pH-responsive chelating surfactant at the air/liquid interface that occurs over a period... -
Lipid bilayers suspended beneath the air/water interface for neutron reflecti...
Bacterial membranes contain safety valves called mechanosensitive ion channels, which protect the bacterium from changes in the osmotic pressure of their environment. However,... -

The Earth's climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important effects. Common... -
Determination of the absorbed amount and location of a hydrophobic drug in su...
Many drugs are both poorly water-soluble (hydrophobic) and lipophilic in nature and are therefore incorporated into surfactant micelles and monolayers. As the incorporation of... -
Binding studies of Quantum Dots and Pore-Forming Proteins on multi-component ...
Cell membrane being the first line of defence of a complex cell, it forms an important scientific topic to study its encounter with various external entities. Nanoparticles are... -
Investigating the Surface Structure of Ionic Liquid Mixtures using Neutron Re...
The structure of ionic liquid (IL)-gas interfaces is currently a hot topic in the field and understanding of the surface structure of pure ILs is improving. However, very little... -
Copy of: ATmospheric Oxidation of MIxed films studied by Neutron Reflectometr...
Quantifying amount, composition and fate of surface-active organic aerosols originating from cooking processes is a key atmospheric research activity. Our project aims to... -
Multilayering of Methyl Ester Sulphonates at the Air-Aqueous Interface: Effec...
Surfactants usually form a single layer of molecules at the surface of water. We have shown that under certain conditions more than one layer may form. When this happens the... -
Investigating the structure of the pulmonary lung surfactant at the air-water...
The lung surfactant is a film coating the alveolus of the lung. We want to characterize the structure of this film at the air-water interface at a molecular level. This will... -
Adsorption of cationic surfactants to Al2O3
A recent experiment has provided clear evidence for a large maximum in the adsorption just below the critical micelle concentration of the surfactant hexadecyl trimethyl... -
Biosurfactant conventional surfactant mixing. Where nature does it better ?
Biosurfactants are becoming more commonplace in pharmaceuticals, vaccines and other forms of medicines. With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce...
