Recently (RB19100102) we have discovered that floating bilayers composed of fluid phase lipids can be produced by deposited vesicles onto charge modified oligo(ethylene...

Fast segmental dynamics of surfactants in rod-like assemblies and their correlation with microstructure is not very well understood although the structure and macroscopic...

Polymer-protein conjugates have been designed to deliver an appropriate target growth factor to promote a more rapid healing of chronic wounds, an incredibly important area for...

Polymer-surfactant stabilised emulsion droplets are a potentially exciting route for micro-encapsulation of volatile agents (such as perfumes, flavours and many other benefit...

The spontaneous selfassembly of nanoparticles (NP) at liquid-liquid interfaces is a phenomenon present in nature and relevant for many applications, such as, emulsion...

We request SANS beam time on LOQ to study the impact of multivalent counterions on the micellisation of alkyloxyethylene sulfate surfactants and alkyloxyethylene sulphate /...

Neutron reflectivity will be employed to investigate the interaction between dimethylsulphoxide and monomolecular films of phosphatidylcholine. The monolayer will be used as a...

We have prepared large single crystals of the melilite electroltyes Ln1+xCaxGa3O7+d; (Ln = La and Nd; x = 0 and 0.5) using a floating zone mirror furnace. We have characterised...

We will study the kinetics of the early stages of aggregate formation in protein solutions under conditions that are known to result in the formation of amyloid protein fibres...

As part of a long-running programme, we have identified many co-crystallisation systems producing hydrogen-bonded molecular complexes yielding fascinating X-ray diffraction and...

Nonionic surfactants usually do not show affinity to proteins and they work via competitive surface and interfacial processes in abinary mixture. However, we show in this work...

In this part of the proposed work, we wish to explore how antibiotics and antimicrobial peptides interact with model lipid bilayers in the form of a supported lipid bilayer,...

This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding how keratin, an important protein component of hair and skin, interacts with ionic surfactants using...

This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the adsorption of collagen based polypeptide and its interaction with ionic surfactants at the...

Protein-membranes interactions are fundamentally important to biological function. We have developed advanced models of the Gram negative bacterial outer membrane and have...

Complex mixed-ion pervoskites, ferroelectric material (1-x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3, attract plenty of applications due to high piezoelectric response. The difficulties result...

An experiment performed on INTER last year found extreme non ideal mixing between C12E8/SLES3 at the air water interface: this feature became more extreme as the temperature...

The present proposal seeks to establish the pressure dependence of the Pbnm-Cmcm transition in NaTaO3 and some doped variants thereof. It aims to understand the understand the...

Foam stability, appearance and functionality is governed by the thin liquid films between foam bubbles. These films are stabilised by surface active molecules (surfactants and...

Complexes prepared from cationic, dichain lipid (L) vesicles and negatively charged siRNA (R), with and without positively chargely targeting peptides (P) known as LR or LPR...
