Abiotic and biotic parameters measured in a field experiment to investigate the effect of predation by epibenthos on infaunal macrobenthos of a <i>Ceriops tagal</i>... -
Effect of pH on the complexation behaviour between Pluronic micelles, drugs a...
Pluronic micelles are attractive candidates as drug carriers. Despite the abundance of data on their association with various drugs, there is, in contrast, very little... -
Interaction of polypeptides with surfactants: SANS study of solution aggregation
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the solution aggregation of collagen based polypeptides and their interactions with model surfactants.... -
Silica perturbation of the water structure around cationic micelles during te...
This proposal continues a new direction in our research on surfactant-templated inorganic materials. These nanostructured materials contain ordered arrays of surfactant micelles... -
The action of membrane lytic compounds on model membranes.
The study of antifungal and antibacterial action is of great interest and there are still many unknowns concerning the action of membrane lytic materials, and the way that... -
Perylene Bisimide Photocatalysts
Solar energy is the most abundant, sustainable, and environmentally friendly source of energy available on the earth. One promising approach to reducing the reliance on fossil... -
Molecular Mechanistic Processes of Complexation between DNA and Cationic Copo...
It is difficult for the naked external gene to become internalized due to its similar charge to the extracellular membrane surface. Various cationic copolymers and cationic... -
Aggregation phenomena inside polymer brushes: lateral structure
We will use off-specular reflectivity to probe the characteristic lateral length-scales in responsive polyelectrolyte brushes grown by surface-initiated ATRP from solid-liquid... -
Probing chiral interactions in aqueous amino acid deriving polymers
Sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) is a low molecular weight gelator, widely known as one of the components of bile salts. Above a specific concentration, NaDC is able to form pH... -
The role of disulphide bridges in the adsorption of globular proteins at the ...
Following our previous study of adsorption of globular lysozyme and BSA at the oil/water interface by neutron reflection, we continue to explore how unfolding of globular... -
Effect of drug on the micelles formed by ionic surfactants
The aim of the study is to use SANS in combination with contrast variation to determine the effect of solubilising the lipophilic drug, testosterone propionate, in micelles... -
Kinetics of surfactant multilayer formation / dissolution at interfaces
The formation of multilayer structures at surfaces and interfaces from self-assembly in mixed surfactant and in polymer / surfactant mixtures has been recently reported, and... -
Competetive adsorption in hydrophobin / protein mixtures at the air-solution ...
Hydrophobins are secreted fungal proteins in the form of small lipopetide biosurfactants. They are strongly surface active and self assemble at interfaces and in solution. This... -
SANS Study of pH-Triggered Behaviour in Pluronic-Flurbiprofen Solutions: In v...
Hydrophobic drug encapsulation is one of the widely used strategies to overcome the poor adsorption and bioavailability of these drugs in vivo. Water-soluble amphiphilic... -
Molecular Mechanistic Processes of Complexation between DNA and Cationic Copo...
We have previously used LOQ to identify the complex (polyplex) structures formed between a short single strand DNA and a cationic diblock copolymer MPC30-DEA60. The SANS... -
Effects of pH and ionic strength on stability and structure of lipid-polymer ...
Nanostructured lipid aggregates offer enormous potential as tools for membrane structural biology and biophysics. Styrene-Maleic Acid Lipid Particles have a number of attractive... -
Interfacial adsorption of keratin as characterised by neutron reflection
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the adsorption of keratins and their interactions with ionic surfactants at the solid/water interface....
