PNR of Magnetic Order in Delta-Doped Topological Insulators
We aim at studying proximity effects between a ferromagnetic thin film (either metallic or insulating) and a topological insulator (either undoped, or magnetically homogeneously... -
Di-chain sulfobetaine monolayers at the air-solution interface
Here we wish to continue our investigation of sulfobetaine surfactants in which the charges on the zwitterionic headgroup are reversed compared to those on zwitterionic... -
Temperature Effects in YIG Films Probed by PNR
Yttrium iron garnet Fe3Y5O12 (YIG) is the material of choice in spin pumping, spin Seeback and Spin Hall magnetoresistance (SHMR) measurements [1-3]. This is mainly due to two... -
Fluorocarbon/ Hydrocarbon Mixed surfactant monolayers for fire-fighting appli...
The aim is to use Neutron Reflectivity (NR) to gain essential information on the adsorption properties of fluorocarbon (FC)/ hydrocarbon (HC) mixtures in commercial... -
Effect of Nucleating Agents on Phase Behavior in thin film bulk heterojunctio...
Neutron reflection will be used to investigate the normal composition profile in thin films of blends of electron-donor poly(alkyl thiophene) and the electron-acceptor... -
Composition of model binary surfactant mixtures at the solid/liquid interface
The adsorption at the silica water (both hydrophilic) interface of anionics can be induced by the addition of non ionics, the degree of which provides information on the surface... -
Ca-ions at PS-containing biomimetic lipid layers: Interfacial water
Lipid membranes provide a sensitive platform for a variety of biological functions, and membrane lipid distributions are carefully regulated. In this project we plan to study... -
Adsorption maxima at the solid/liquid interface
Adsorption maxima have been reported for adsorption at the hydrophilic solid/water interface based on measurements on powders and solution analysis. Many would claim that this... -
NR Investigation of Structural Basis Underlying Synergistic Binding of Lipope...
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,... -
Surface modification in heteropolymer blends.
In recent years we have had considerable success with the surface modification of amorphous and crystalline thermal plastic polymers using multi-end functional additives. In... -
Purothionins Perturb Bacterial Membrane Function via Ion Channel Formation
Purothionins are a family of cationic cystiene rich plant defence proteins which have been shown to have a wide spectrum of activity due their ability to permeate cellular... -
Floating Bilayer Mimics of the Gram Negative Bacterial Outer Membrane
The gram-negative bacterial membrane is of extreme medical importance. The two main lipid components of the outer membrane are lipopolysaccharides (LPS's) and DOPE. We will... -
Model anionic/non ionic surfactant adsoption at the interface below room temp...
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... -

Interaction of a cationic surfactant with rigid oligoanions
The interaction of small polyelectrolytes or oligoions with surfactants appears to follow a model that we have recently established for large polyelectrolytes but the smaller... -

Calcium mediated interaction between siRNA and phospholipid bilayers: the eff...
The main objective of the present study is to gain an understanding of the nature of the interaction of ¿phospholipid membranes¿ with small, interfering RNA (siRNA) in the... -
Effect of Concentration Charge and Ionic Strength on Adsorption of Small Part...
Despite the wide practical interest in particulate colloids there have been few studies that exploit the advantages of reflection and neutron scattering to study adsorption of... -
Neutron reflectivity studies of the interaction of Amphotericin B with biomim...
Bio-surfactants that can be harvested from micro-organisms are of particular interest, because these can potentially be harvested in high yield and at low cost. In this category... -
Interaction of Surfactant with Model Lipid Membranes: Influence of Surfactant...
Skin becomes a target of drug delivery because the transdermal routes are non-invasive, can be self-administrated, improve patient compliance and can provide release for long...
