The Effect of the Head Group on Multilayering of Alkanoic Alkyl Ester Sulphon...
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... -
Searching for a core-shell or multi shell structure in Stöber silica particles
We want to measure the SESANS from a series of large ~1 micron silica particles formed using the multistage Stöber method. The reason for this is to determine if we can see the... -

Interaction of lignosulphonates with model surfactant systems by neutron refl...
With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce reliance on palm and crude oil derived materials, it is vital that the Home and Personal Care industry... -
The intermediate stages of hydrogen disorder to order phase transitions in ice
In recent years, our team has discovered three new phases of ice: ices XIII, XIV and XV. On the basis of calorimetric data and some limited diffraction data collected on GEM we... -
Competitive adsorption in hydrophobin-surfactant mixtures
Hydrophobins are small compact secreted fungal proteins which are strongly surface active and adhere to both hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces. Their strong surface activity... -
Manipulating surface adsorption of SLES surfactants using temperature
Although surfactant detergency is well understood above 30 C, actions of surfactants below 30 C are not well established. In the era of energy saving and environment caring, we... -
Curvature effects in polyelectrolyte-surfactant solution interactions
This proposal continues our investigations into polyelectrolyte-surfactant solutions which form thin films at the air-solution interface. Our previous work has investigated the... -
Purothionin binding to model fungal lipid membranes
Purothionins and defensins are basic, amphiphilic, cysteine-rich and low molecular weight plant defence proteins. These proteins are active against a broad range of... -
Spontaneous multilayer formation at interfaces in mixed surfactant systems
The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at interfaces from surfactant self-assembly has until recently been rarely observed. However, surface multilayer structures... -
Interfacial conformation of antibody and antigen binding capacity
Antibody-antigen binding has been extensively used in many technological applications such as immunoassays, chemical analysis and bionanotechnology. The crucial element... -
Examination of the Membrane Structure of Live Bacteria using Neutron Reflecto...
We propose to investigate in-vivo cell membrane structure of gram-positive (B. subtilis) and gram-negative (S. oneidensis) bacteria adhered to a silicon oxide surface using... -

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... -
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... -
Interfacial adsorption of keratin as characterised by neutron reflection
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the adsorption of keratins and their interactions with ionic surfactants at the solid/water interface.... -
Extreme Synergistic mixing in Biosurfactant ionic surfactant mixtures
The biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce reliance on palm and crude oil derived materials, demand that Home and Personal Care industries develops... -
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... -
The influence of chemical pressure on the helimagnetic correlatations and sky...
The recent discovery of skyrmions and skyrmion lattices in materials with no inversion symmetry and their corresponding potential applications of Skyrmions in magnetic... -
