Proteins of Different Size and Globular Stability Adsorbed at Oil/Water Inter...
In this work we explore how to use neutron reflection to study protein adsorption at the oil/water interface. Inter is preferred because we have built technical capability on... -
Sustainable polymeric deposition aids
This is a new programme of work and a collaboration between CCLRC, Oxford, Unilever and Manchester. It is concerned with polymer aided deposition to solid substrates, using... -
Adsorption of modified PEI / SDS mixtures at the solid-solution interface
Polymer-surfactant mixtures are extensively used in a wide range of domestic, industrial and technological applications. This proposal is part of a collaboration between Oxford... -
The Effect of solution pH on the Interaction between poly(silicic) acid and D...
We wish to investigate the pH-dependence of the strong interfacial interaction of 1,2-Dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) with poly(silicic) acid at the air-water... -
Phase separation of hydrocarbon-fluorocarbon surfactants at the air/water int...
Off-specular neutron reflection beamtime is requested to study phase separation at the air/water interface. Stability of systems, such as polymers, is a major area of interest... -
Temperature dependent interface magnetisation of Heusler compounds in magneti...
A large magnetoresistance (TMR) is expected when half metallic ferromagnets are used in magnetic tunneling junctions with polycrystalline AlOx barrier. We have recently observed... -
Kinetics of protein and protein mixture adsorption at the air/water interface
Many proteins exhibit a lag in lowering the surface tension at the air-water interface. The origin of this lag is not well understood either experimentally or theoretically. The... -
Adsorption of hydrophobin at the oil/water interface
Following our previous study of adsorption of globular lysozyme and BSA, we continue to explore how another globular protein hydrophobin adsorbs at the oil/water interface by... -
Interfacial layer structure of designed lipopeptides at the solid/water inter...
Lipopeptide surfactants are a group of interesting biosurfactants due to their natural origin and their high effectiveness at reducing interfacial tension. However, there is a... -
The gas-phase oxidation of mixed organic films at the air-water interface ¿ t...
The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects cloud droplet size and optical properties, important climatic... -
Surface layers in organosols
This research project addresses an overlooked, but fundamental issue of colloid science: surfactant adsorption dynamics at nanoparticle-organosolvent interfaces. Adsorption of... -
Adsorption of perfluoroalkyl substances to solid soil interface to elucidate ...
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are stable compounds and commercially desirable. They are widely used, for example, as surfactants in textile and paper products and in aqueous... -
Structure of Meibomian lpid films at the air-water interface using
The tear film of the eye has an outer meibomian lipid layer (TFLL) that allows tears to spread across the eye and remain stable. Our Langmuir trough and other studies show that... -
Ozonation of organic films at the air-water interface of atmospheric aerosol
The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by atmospheric aerosols. Organic surfactant films on these aerosols influences their size, optical properties and ability to act as... -
Electron correlation enhances orbital polarization at a ferromagnetic metal/i...
The Fe(CoB)/MgO interface is vital to spintronics as it exhibits the tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) effect and interfacial perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA)... -
Surface and interface effects in oxygen deficient SrMnO3 thin films grown on ...
Complex oxide functionality, such as ferroelectricity, magnetism or superconductivity is often achieved in epitaxial thin-film geometries. Oxygen vacancies tend to be the... -
Oxygen evolution reaction: Bifunctional mechanism breaking the linear scaling...
The bifunctional mechanism for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) involving two distinct reaction sites is studied through the computational hydrogen electrode method for a set... -
