Effect of temperature on the structure of model wax films as studied by neutr...
Cuticular wax films protect plants by mediating water and nutrient transport from the environment. Surfactant is a key ingredient in agrisprays that can promote the uptake of... -
A µSR study of the charge density wave superconductor CuxTiSe2.
Superconductivity and the charge density wave (CDW) are two very different cooperative electronic phenomena. However, both occur because of Fermi surface instabilities and... -
Mineralogical investigation of archeological ceramic fragments from Modena (I...
We propose to investigate on INES the mineralogical composition of a collection of ceramic fragments from three different archeological sites in the Modena area (Italy). These... -
Study of the interaction of thermoresponsive naogels with lipids
This proposal seeks to characterise the hydrophobic interaction of thermoresponsive nanogels designed for drug delivery through the skin with a lipid monolayer as a function of... -
Dependence of spin-diffusion transparency and spin-orbit torques on interface...
One of the main challenges in spintronics is to provide a link between magnetic elements and conventional electronic circuits. For the switching of a magnetic memory-element an... -
Multi-component mixtures of biosurfactants and conventional surfactants
This proposal is about the development of sustainable detergency based formulations, based on the blending of biosurfactants and conventional surfactants, and is part of a CASE... -
Dye...TiO2 interfacial structure of working electrodes in dye-sensitized sola...
The transparent and low-cost nature of dye-sensitised solar cells (DSCs) affords them niche prospects for electricity-generating windows in buildings for energy-sustainable... -

Interaction of Surfactant with Model Lipid Membranes: Influence of Surfactant...
Skin becomes a target of drug delivery because the transdermal routes are non-invasive, can be self-administrated, improve patient compliance and can provide release for long... -
Adsorption of of hydrophobin and hydrophobin / surfactant mixtures at the oil...
Hydrophobins are secreted fungal proteins and are small lipopeptide biosurfactants. They are strongly surface active and self-assemble at interface, and these unique film... -
Compositional and microstructural analysis of iron meteorites through time of...
Iron meteorites consist overwhelmingly of nickel-iron alloys. The metal taken from these meteorites is known as meteoric iron and was one of the earliest sources of usable iron... -
Structure of Cellulose Nanofibril Gels
This proposal is part of a new project based on understanding the formation of gels in suspensions of partially oxidised cellulose nanofibrils with small amounts of salt or... -
Structure of chain-grafted silica nanoparticles
The aim of the proposed experiment is to carry out a series of SANS measurements on chain-grafted silica nanoparticles prepared in our laboratory. In this experiment we plan to... -
Partial structural study at the oil-water interface
In our previous experiment we determined a value for the interfacial width of bare hexadecane-water interface. The NR-determined width was 6.0 ± 1.0 Å, which compares well with... -
Influence of shear on polymer adsorption at solid / liquid interfaces
Lubricants contain a complex mixtures of polymers and base oils that must provide protection to moving surfaces with minimal energy loss due to friction or viscous drag. There... -
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... -
Manipulating surface adsorption of SLES surfactants using temperature
Although surfactant detergency is well understood above 30 C, actions of surfactants below 30 C are not well established. In the era of energy saving and environment caring, we... -
Measurement of the Casimir Force
There is a great deal of interest in the Casimir force due its connection with quantum fluctuations, dark energy and nanotechnology applications. Measurements in plate geometry... -
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... -
Probing the influence of deposition energy on the magnetic properties of FeCo...
Magnetic HEA thin films could open up the possibility to develop spintronic devices for use in hostile environments e.g. for high temperature applications. Previous studies have...
