Antimicrobial Peptide Binding & Rearrangement in Model Membranes ¿ Building a...
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are attractive drug candidates because of their selectivity and speed of action against bacteria. We have developed a novel approach to delivering... -
Estimating carbon contents within different phases in hypereutectoid steels
Previous studies have attempted to correlate the results of metallography with neutron diffraction studies on the very high-carbon steels used in Oriental blades, and Indian... -
In-situ reflectometry studies of hydrogen cycling in Mg/Ti multilayers
We ask for 3 days of beam time on CRISP to study the absorption and desorption of hydrogen and deuterium in two Mg/Ti multilayer samples. Our specific objective is to understand... -
Investigation of the interactions of perfluoroalkyl substances with model wor...
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are fully fluorinated, stabile, and surface-active compounds. They contain both a hydrophobic fluorinated carbon chain and an ionizable... -
Induce magnetism in ZnO/ZnS mulilayers
Occurrence of high-temperature ferromagnetism (HTFM) in transition metal oxide nanostructures in which the metal is nominally nonmagnetic appears as one of the most intriguing... -
Study of the role of penetration enhancer for drug delivery through Stratum C...
The stratum corneum which is mainly composed of mixture of lipids, cholesterols and fatty provide a formidable barrier for drug penetration through skin. In this proposal, we... -
Dynamic Nuclear Polarization in GaAs by electrical spin injection
We propose to measure the dynamic nuclear polarization in a GaAs-based structure caused by electrical injection of a spin-polarized current using polarized neutron... -
Interactions of modified clupeines with Gram-negative model bilayers
Clupeine is isolated from herring and is an example of a protamine, which are cationic antimicrobial peptides occurring in the sperm cells of some fish. Protamines are active... -
The use of lipid sponge-like nanoparticles as carriers for macromolecules and...
Biological membranes do not only occur as planar bilayer structures, but bilayers have also been shown to, depending onthe lipid composition, curve into intriguing 3D... -
Incorporation of PAN-pyrene swollen micelles in crosslinked polyelectrolyte f...
We have been studying the formation of solid polymer-surfactant films at the air-solution interface formed from cationic surfactants with PEI. We wish to use the micelles... -

Surfactant Segregation in Plasticised PVA
PVA film is widely used as a non-toxic water soluble polymer. This proposal relates to its use in unit dose detergent pouches where plasticised PVA film stores a concentrated... -
Controlling the interaction of hemicellulose (galactoglucomannan, GGM) with c...
Softwood hemicellulose (galactoglucomannan, GGM) is one of the major plant polysaccharides found in cell walls after cellulose. It makes up to 25% of the wood in Sweden,... -
Protein nanosheets assembled structures at the air-water interfaces for cell ...
Cell adhesion and proliferation at the surface of liquids such as oil droplets is a surprising phenomenon as it is typically accepted in the field of bioengineering that cells... -
Single Domain pH-Driven DNA Nanoswitch
DNA is an extremely versatile building material for the development and assembly of functional nanostructures and nanodevices. There are numerous examples of DNA based... -
The Effect of Temperature on the Formation of Surfactant-Metal Ion Multilayer...
We have now established that multilayering at the air-water interface is a widespread phenomenon brought about by multivalent ions, whether polyelectrolyte, oligoelectrolyte or... -
Spin Seebeck Devices - The Future of TEGs?
The spin Seebeck effect is a relatively new phenomena that could be harnessed for waste heat recovery. Its advantages lie with a new device architecture (compared to... -
Surface activity of biosurfactant (sophorolipid) / surfactant mixtures
Understanding the fundamental aspects of the surface adsorption and self-assembly of biosurfactant and biosurfactant / conventional surfactant mixtures is a major challenge for... -
Combining polarised neutrons and resonant x-rays to understand temperature-de...
Despite being a well-known phenomenon, the mechanism by which platinum gains a magnetic moment by proximity to a ferromagnetic (FM) thin film remains unknown. We aim to... -
Conformation of lipid, DSPC and cholesterol mixture
In this proposal we intend to investigate the intermolecular interactions in a mixed phospholipid/cholesterol monolayer at the oil-water interface using neutron reflectometry....
