Kinetics of surfactant multilayer formation / dissolution at interfaces
The formation of multilayer structures at surfaces and interfaces from self-assembly in mixed surfactant and in polymer / surfactant mixtures has been recently reported, and... -
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... -
Molecular Collapse and Conformation of Low Molecular Mass Polyacrylic Acid an...
There is conflicting information about properties of polycrylic acid and its behaviour in aqueous solution. This proposal for an investigation by SANS that is directed at... -
Polymer-Lipid Nanodisc Self-assembly Processes Using Stop Flow
Polymer stabilized lipid nanodiscs offer enormous potential as tools for enabling membrane protein structural studies & biophysics. Polymer stabilized lipid bilayer discs... -
Polymerisation of Styrene in PEI-Surfactant Films on Si Wafers
We have been studying the formation of solid polymer-surfactant films formed from cationic surfactants with PEI. We wish to use the highly organised mesostructures formed in the... -
Controlling Biosurfactant self assembly in solution.
Biosurfactants are becoming more commonplace in pharmaceuticals, vaccines and other forms of medicines. With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce... -
Self-assembly of methyl ester sulfonate(MES) and sulfobetaine surfactant mixt...
The MES is representative of a promising group of anionic surfactants which have the potential for improved performance and biocompatibility / biosustainability, and their... -
Towards optimised detergency at low temperatures
This proposal is about the development of sustainable detergency based formulations, based on the blending of biosurfactants with conventional surfactants, and is part of a CASE...
