SANS studies on the structures of non-ionic surfactant micelles with/without ...
SANS is about the only technique that can determine the size and shape of surfactant micelles and the subsequent changes upon pesticide solubilisation. The aim of this work is... -
Binary colloidal mixtures - SANS contrast variation to study high concentrati...
Mixtures of colloidal particles of essentially two different sizes are commonly used in technological applications such as film formation on surfaces, paper coatings, etc.... -
Encapsulation of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Using Novel Pluronic G...
The research topic is encapsulation of a hydrophobic drug, flurbiprofen, using novel amphiphilic graft copolymers (AGCs). The AGCs of interest are shown in Figure 1: Preliminary... -
Co-assembly of gold nanoparticles with wormlike micelles
Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are attracting tremendous interest in nanotechnology due to their plasmonic properties, in particular the localized surface plasmon resonance effect... -
SANS studies of mixed phospholipid:sterol vesicles and their interaction with...
The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin B (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents that can circumvent the... -
Using SANS2D to resolve the opening of MscL clusters in proteoliposomes in re...
In bacteria, mechanosensitive ion channels such as MscL protect cells against osmotic shock. Although crucial for protecting cells, as with all ion channels, they have the... -
Dynamics of amyloid protein fibril growth using isotope-labelled SANS
This proposal aims use a novel approach whereby deuterated amyloid peptide fibrils are givenhydrogenated growing ends, and analysed using SANS. The data will enable us to... -
SANS study of hollow nanoparticles and their solvent release
Hollow nanoparticles (HNP) have been successfully used for encapsulation and controlled release of biochemicals such as drugs, DNA, and dyes. However no in-situ method has been... -
Structure of alkylated aza-crown ether inverse micelles
Ion transfer through fluid-fluid interfaces plays decisive roles in many natural and industrial processes. In studies of Cu(II) transport by Permeation Liquid Membrane (PLM)... -
Surfactant induced gelation of TEMPO-oxidized cellulose; Using betaine-based ...
Our group has been working cellulose nanofibrils (OCNF) which form hydrogels in the presence of certain additives. Previously, we have studied the effect of salt, single... -
Effect of surfactant head group on micelle structure of drug containing micelles
The aim of the current project is to probe (at the nanometer length scale) the relationship between the solution structures of a surfactant molecule, the aggregate(s) it forms... -
Small-Angle Neutron Scattering studies of a bacterial colonization factor
We plan to carry out SANS experiments on a bacterial colonization factor to elucidate how it interacts with chitin, which is found on the surface of plankton and crustaceans.... -
SANS studies of phospholipid:sterol vesicles and the membrane interactions of...
The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin B (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents that can circumvent the... -
Structure of Cellulose Nanofibril Gels
This proposal is part of a new project based on understanding the formation of gels in suspensions of partially oxidised cellulose nanofibrils with small amounts of salt or... -
Cucurbituril HostGuest Micellar Systems: Structure and Self-Assembly
One of the grand challenges in the physical sciences is fabricating materials with a defect-free controlled structure on the submicron scale. Realisation of this challenge will... -
The effect of alcohol chain length on the interaction between PS-PEO copolyme...
In many applications, surfactants are formulated with a variety of additives to achieve a desired range of properties; polymers and cosurfactants/cosolvents (such as alcohols)... -
Structural origin of anomalous relaxation behaviour in alcohol-water mixtures
In recent dielectric and calorimetric studies of some alcohol-water mixtures we have discovered unexpected and unexplained relaxation behaviours. Our aim with this proposal is... -
Temperature and flow stability of model sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate (NaLAS)...
Linear sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate (NaLAS) is one of the most extensively used anionic surfactant in the world, mainly as a biodegradable laundry detergent, with an annual... -
Nanosuspsomicroemulsions: nanosuspension stabilty
At Kings College London we have recently developed a novel combination formulation, a nanosuspsomicroemulsion (NSME), comprising of a microemulsion (ME) containing one drug and...
