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.... -
Correlation between Internal Dynamics and Microstructure in Ionic Micelles
Despite the extensive characterization of the structure and macroscopic behavior of micelles, the fast local dynamics of surfactants in micelles and their correlation with... -
NR characterization of aquaporin-containing silica-reinforced supported PC bi...
Despite the abundancy of sea water there are 663 million people that lack access to safe drinking water. This is due to excessive energy consumption and hence cost coupled to... -
Surfactant adsorption onto model surfaces
In the context of home and personal care products, studying surfactant and mixed surfactant adsorption ion model solid surfaces, which mimic real surfaces such as fabrics, hair... -
Competition at the nanoparticle surface: one polymer, two surfactants, many p...
Polymers and surfactants are key components in detergency. Understanding their interactions is essential to formulate smartly. Detergent formulations usually contain a mixture... -
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... -
Solution aggregation 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.... -
Spontaneous surface multilayer formation in oligoamine ¿ surfactant mixtures
This proposal is part of a major EPSRC (EP/GR065705)/Unilever funded programme to develop and control the spontaneous formation of surfactant multilayer structures at... -
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... -
Electrostatic Interactions between Floating Bilayers and Thiol Coated Interfa...
Bilayers which float below a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) coated solid support represent one of the most advanced membrane mimetics. Recently (RB 1720155) we assessed the... -
Temperature Effects and Kinetics of Thiolipid Adsorption to Gold Surfaces
We have a programme investigating the structure and function of protein scaffolds oriented on gold surfaces using sulfur chemistry for attachment. The aim is to direct the... -
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.... -
Probing the thickness of the polymer adsorbed layer in HEUR stabilized oil in...
Oils are commonly used in personal care industry as emollients. Owing to their undesirable feel they are formulated in oil in water emulsions form. Emulsions contains... -
Structure of Cellulose Nanofibril Gels with Different Surfactants
This proposal is part of a project based on understanding the formation of gels in suspensions of partially oxidised cellulose nanofibrils and small amounts of additives, such... -
