A Unilever proprietary technology has been shown to inhibit biofilm growth and development, and is also found to possess antimicrobial activity, effective both as a...

Skin becomes a target of drug delivery because the transdermal routes are non-invasive, can be self-administrated, improve patient compliance and can provide release for long...

Mitochondria are not only the powerhouse of the cell, but are also involved in cellular suicide via apoptosis (programmed cell death). This pathway is a major regulator in cell...

The aim is to use Neutron Reflectivity (NR) to gain essential information on the adsorption properties of fluorocarbon/ hydrocarbon mixtures in commercial fire-fighting foam...

Organic solar cells (OPVs) are photovoltaic devices that can convert the energy from sunlight into electricity and have attracted much attention as a viable green energy source...

Chiral gemini surfactants containing stereogenic centers and two amphiphilic moieties, not only maintain the chiral properties, but also exhibit stronger aggregation properties,...

We have shown that under certain conditions multilayer adsorption of surfactants occurs at the air-water interface. in which case the system becomes a powerful wetting agent (it...

The basis of a biological cell membrane is a lipid bilayer containing functional proteins. Its purpose is to form a selective barrier that separates the aqueous fluids inside...

Soft polymeric nanoparticles possess many interesting properties. Those based on N-isopropylacrylamide are surface active and respond to changes in temperature. This give rise...

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...

Polyoxometallates (POM) are well defined transition metal clusters with a range of interesting catalytic, magnetic and optical properties. To make efficient use of these...
