This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding how collagen based polypeptides interact with ionic surfactants using SANS. Both SDS and C12TAB will be...

N-acyl amino acids are surfactants with attractive applications in different technological fields. They are referred to as mild surfactants because they are commonly considered...

We intend to use small angle neutron scattering to investigate the conformational behaviour of a range of amphiphilic copolymers comprising a hydrophobic methacrylate segment...

A3-3 matrix material is the semi-graphitc composite used in high-temperature nuclear reactors to form fuel compounds containing coated particle fuel. In a CO2 cooled reactor,...

We have been studying the solution interactions leading to formation of solid polymer-surfactant films at the air-solution interface. We want to use the mesostructures in the...

Time is required on Loq to study the bulk properties of commercial systems under shear. This time will come under existing NDA with Lubrizol.

The aim of this experiment is to investigate the change in conformation of a chiral polymer dissolved in hexafluoroisopropanol as the temperature of the system is varied....

This proposal is part of a broad programme of collaborative research between RAL / Oxford and Unilever, using predominantly scattering techniques to investigate the nature of...

Lipopeptide surfactants are highly effective at reducing interfacial tension. However, there is a general lack of understanding of the relationship between their molecular...

Janus particles, bearing two distinct compositions on the surface of the same particle, have attracted much attention recently as a way to finely tune morphology and...

Beta-cyclodextrins (b-CD) are well tolerated in humans without toxic side effects and present in several injectable drug formulations, due to their ability to form host-guest...

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are mixtures of organic salts and hydrogen bond donors, that form strongly hydrogen-bonded room temperature ionic liquids (ILs). DES share many...

The present application focuses on the determination of possible differences in pottery production methods during the Neolithic Period . Samples of coarse grain temper (organic...

Melanins are the major determinants of pigmentation of skin, hair and eyes in humans. These pigments originate from the tyrosinase-catalyzed oxidation of tyrosine, leading to...

This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the solution aggregation of collagen based polypeptides and their interactions with model surfactants....

Dr Edler¿s group has recently been studying the interactions between polymers and surfactant micelles in solution in order to understand how this drives film formation at the...

We have recently prepared and studied the surface properties of some well-defined multi-end functional polyethylenes. Whilst most of our surface studies indicate that these...

We have begun to explore the synthesis, reactivity and physicochemical properties of a number of surface-active metal complexes, to devise a method for the catalytic...

Nanostructured lipid aggregates offer enormous potential as tools for membrane structural biology and biophysics. Poly(Styrene-Maleic Acid) stabilized lipid nanodiscs have a...

We have been studying the solution interactions leading to formation of solid polymer-surfactant films at the air-solution interface. We wish to use the mesostructures in the...
