This proposal focuses on a new approach to the formation of rod-like micelles in supercritical CO2 (scCO2). Recent successful high-pressure SANS (HP-SANS) results have shown for...

Ever-more stringent environmental regulations have driven the automotive industry to continuously develop lightweight solutions in automotive body sheet materials, without...

Hydrophobins, hfb2, are secreted fungal proteins, which are strongly surface active and possess powerful emulsion and foam stabilising properties. Understanding their...

Bacterial endotoxins, or lipopolysaccharide (LPS), released from the gram negative bacterial membrane, form different aggregates in solution which morphology depends on the type...

Hydrophobins are secreted fungal proteins and are small lipopeptide biosurfactants. They are strongly surface active and self-assemble at interface, and these unique film...

The aim of the proposal is to improve understanding about combinations of normal surfactants and hydrotropes. The systems of study are reference oil-water interfaces, provided...

In the present proposal small angle neutron scattering will be used in combination with contrast variation as a non-invasive method to detect the presence and size formation of...

This proposal aims to explore these dispersed lamellar phases with a variety of F7H4 derivatives,to help understand their formation in supercritical CO2 (sc-CO2). The focus is...

Complexes prepared from cationic, dichain lipid (L) vesicles, positively chargely targeting peptides (P) and negatively charged DNA (D) or siRNA (R), known as LPDs and LPRs...

Contrast variation Small-angle neutron scattering (CV-SANS) will be used to probe structure of novel organogels made from surfactants and p-halophenols as low molecular weight...

Carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC) is the most widely used cellulose derivative; it forms an anionic, water-soluble, polyelectrolyte with vast applications in the food,...

Surfactants are known to charge colloidal surfaces in nonpolar solvents, but only a small number of different molecules have been explored. Recent experiments demonstrate that...

Liquid crystal displays are ubiquitous but they are not perfect. It is desirable to reduce the voltage required to switch a pixel from light to dark in order to reduce power...

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are molecular mixtures similar to ionic liquids, having melting points below room temperature. DES share many of the features of ionic liquids (low...

Hydrophobins, hfb2, are secreted fungal proteins, which are strongly surface active and possess powerful emulsion and foam stabilising properties. Understanding their...

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is an anionic surfactant, extensively employed in cosmetics and personal care, as well as in pharmaceuticals and food products. Surfactants are...

The very heterogeneous, but non-random, arrangement of lipids and proteins in cell membranes are of major scientific interest and led Simons and Ikonen to propose that ¿rafts,¿...

The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at interfaces from surfactant self-assembly is an important structural signature associated with a wide range of technological...

Assembly of the peptidoglycan later of bacterial cell walls is a validated target for anti-bacterial agents: the late transpeptidation and transglycosylation steps are inhibited...

Grazing incidence small angle neutron scattering (GISANS) will be used to investigate the lateral phase behavior in thin films of blends of electron-donor...
