Mixing of phospholipids and block copolymers in a polymersome membrane
We wish to measure polymersomes having a long PEO chain which we develop for radionuclide encapsulation and which we believe improves blood circulation in vivo. Specifically we... -
Solubilization properties of block copolymer micelles and their micellar inte...
Combination of ionic copolymer micelles with oppositely charged polyelectrolytes leads to the formation of interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPECs). The aggregate has an onion-... -
Interaction of Lignosulphonates with model surfactant systems by Small Angle ...
With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce reliance on palm and crude oil derived materials, it is vital that the Home and Personal Care industry... -
Competitive interactions in polymer-particle-surfactant blends
Many formulations comprise distinct chemical species that exhibit antagonistic or synergistic interactions that result in unpredictable behaviour. Previous work from our group... -
Self-assembly of methyl ester sulfonate(MES) and sulfobetaine surfactant mixt...
The MES is representative of a promising group of anionic surfactants which have the potential for improved performance and biocompatibility / biosustainability, and their... -
Structural Observation of the Self-Assembly Kinetics of Cyclic Peptide Nanotubes
Cyclic peptides with alternating side chain stereochemistry are capable of self-assembling into long nanotubes. The conjugation of polymers to these peptides renders the... -
Rod reversed micelles with mixtures of optimized surfactants and hydrotropes
Contrast variation SANS will be used to study structures of reversed micelles in cyclohexane, and in particular to reveal effects of hydrotrope addition for promotion and growth... -
Rosseinsky Programme Access Polaris
To determine the temperature dependence of the structures of new mixed and ionic conducting materials in the n = 2 ruddlesden-popper,mellilite and pyrochlore systems.
