Oxidation of thin film at the air-water interface of cloud droplets using REA...
The Earth's climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important effects. Common... -
Probing Solvation and Segregation in Multilayer Conducting Polymer Films
Tuning the colour of electrochromic conducting polymers can be achieved by layer upon layer deposition of multiphase components. This approach can offer advantages over other... -
Surface multilayer structures in hydrophobin-Tween mixtures
Increased environmental pressures and awareness is promoting a major drive towards an increased use of biosurfactants to produce more biosustainable and biodegradable consumer... -
Comparative Interaction Studies of Antimicrobial Agents on Bacterial Membrane...
The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-Negative bacteria (GNB) is an asymmetric structure which contains complex lipids known as lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) on the outer surface. LPSs... -
Sub-micron structure of conjugated polymer interfaces
There are two contributions to the rms roughness of a polymer-polymer interface; i) the so-called ¿intrinsic interfacial width¿ due to mixing of the polymers at a molecular... -
Surface adsorption of short peptide surfactants
Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly to lead to interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation.... -
Competitive adsorption of Fatty acid, Phosphoric acid and Sulphonic acid salt...
This proposal presents a comparative study of the adsorption of three key chemical groups onto an important technological substrate, viz. fatty acid salt (Sodium hexanoate),... -
Neutron Reflection study characterising the fundamental structure and composi...
Understanding the plant wax-surfactant interaction process and the influence of surfactants upon the wax transport properties is crucial for the development of more efficient... -
Surface charge induced layering of ionic liquids on mica
The structure of ionic liquids at charged interfaces is an exciting and vibrant area of current research. Previous surface force apparatus experiments have shown layering up to... -
More than the sum - oxidation behaviour of mixed fatty acid monolayers
Single molecule thin films of various surface-active species are found on the surface of water bodies from the sea down to microscopic spray droplets. These films affect the... -
Competitive adsorption in hydrophobin-surfactant mixtures
Hydrophobins are small compact secreted fungal proteins which are strongly surface active and adhere to both hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces. Their strong surface activity... -
Dynamic Surface excess concentration of pH-responsive chelating surfactants
This study will examine a process of slow dynamic change in surface excess of a unique pH-responsive chelating surfactant at the air/liquid interface that occurs over a period... -
