This proposal seeks to characterise the hydrophobic interaction of thermoresponsive nanogels designed for drug delivery through the skin with a lipid monolayer as a function of...

Small gold nanoparticles (1-5 nm) supported on metal oxides are extremely active catalysts for C-C coupling, aerobic oxidations and selective hydrogenations. The interaction of...

Lung surfactant protein B, SP-B, interacts with lipids at the air-water interface of the lung where its presence is vital for correct respiratory function. SP-B and its...

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)...

This proposal continues our investigations into polyelectrolyte-surfactant solutions which form thin films at the air-solution interface. Our previous work has investigated the...

Proposal is focused on the study of the interactions of some lypopolysaccharides (LPSs) with Lactoferrin. LPSs compose about 70-80% of the outer membrane of Gram negative...

Spin based electronics (spintronics) is one of the most exciting and challenging areas in nanotechnology. It is expected to be of major scientific and social impact. Very little...

The interaction of ammonia with binary hydrides (prototypically, the interaction of LiH with ammonia gas) is thought to be the predominant interaction for hydrogen production...

We have been developing hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) microspheres for delivering poorly water-soluble drugs. The in vitro dissolution data showed that the presence of...

Protein-surfactant interactions at an interface play an important role for broad applications in the chemical, dairy, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Rubisco is the most...

We have recently used a combination of PNR and low energy muon spin rotation (LEM) to detect the coexistence of an induced SDW and superconductivity in the superconducting layer...

The highly frustrated nature of the pyrochlore lattice leads to a rich diversity of fascinating properties when the lattice sites are decorated with classical spins. Arguably...

Dendrimers are a unique class of nano-structured vehicles for drug and gene delivery into intracellular targets. Their surface chemistry influences their transport across...

Bacteria growing resistant to common antibiotics is a growing problem and research in new types of medicines which do not induce resistance is therefore very important. Novel...

There is an increasing interest in the application of gallium oxide as a catalyst support material, with particular interest in its use in new methanol steam reforming...

Phytoplankton cells can no longer be considered as passive particles and they can modulate impacts of selection factors (light, turbidity and mixing) through a wide range of...

The objective of this research was to explore hampering effects for cross-border business interaction and the role of cross-border institutions. We analysed the data to...
