pH-control of swelling and charge neutralization of thin hydrogel films
Hydrogels are widely used in biomaterials science, much due to excellent protein resistance, and physicochemical properties similar to biological tissue. Charge neutrality is... -
Host-Guest Interactions at the Surface of a Cucurbit[8]uril Threaded Polymer
The increased use of polymers in engineering applications previously dominated by metals or ceramics gives the opportunity for direct tailoring of the surface characteristics... -
Conformational analysis of subtilin / lipid II binary antibiotic/target membr...
We propose to use neutron reflection to characterise the position and shape of subtilin/lipid II pore complexes as well as to characterise the kinetics of subtilin-lipid II and... -
Interfacial conformation of antibody and antigen binding capacity
Antibody-antigen binding has been extensively used in many technological applications such as immunoassays, chemical analysis and bionanotechnology. The crucial element... -
Amyloid β peptide and α-synuclein association at lipidmodel membranes
We plan to investigate the interaction between amyloid proteins and model biomembranes deposited on solid surfaces. The model membranes will be single zwitterionic and mixed... -
Understanding the decrease in adsorption of surfactants at a solid surface ab...
Previous data obtained from neutron reflection shown in Figure 1 has clearly shown that the surface excess of some surfactants when adsorbed from aqueous solution to a sapphire... -
Effect of Temperature on the Transbilayer Structure of a Model Erythrocyre Me...
In recent years, it has become understood that rather than being homogenous mixtures, biomembranes show a complex phase behaviour, with regions of uniform phases, and others... -
Surfactant mixing at hydrophilic solid/aqueous interfaces
By applying the regular solution model (RS) to the determination of composition in a mixed surfactant layer adsorbed at a hydrophilic solid/aqueous interfaceand combining it... -
Impact of Stereochemistry and Diamine Structure on Absorption of Constructed ...
Chiral gemini surfactants containing stereogenic centers and two amphiphilic moieties, not only maintain the chiral properties, but also exhibit stronger aggregation properties,... -
Acid /amine complexation on an iron oxide /Oil interface
This experiment seeks to characterise the monolayer composition and structure of binary mixtures of fatty acid and amine. This represents a key additive system used commercially... -
Probing membrane localisation of molecular rotors (NR)
A number of important biological processes, such as intracellular transport and signal transduction depend on the viscosity and the distribution of microdomains in cells. We... -

Magnetic correlation length measurements in Fe/Si multilayers using spin echo...
We wish to investigate the magnetic structure of a series of magnetic multilayers using a new technique we have successfully implemented called Spin Echo Modulated Small Angle... -
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.... -
Interfacial Adsorption of Soluble Amino-Acid Based Surfactants in Mixtures wi...
Amino acid based surfactants have been known for many years, but so far few detailed studies have been carried out on their properties. We are using amino acids extracted from... -
Effect of Bilayer Asymmetry on Field-Driven Changes in Phospholipid Bilayers
Supported phospholipid bilayers have been often studied as mimics of biological cell membranes, in order to study lipid behaviour and lipid-protein interactions. These include... -
Adsorption of fatty acids at the calcite-liquid interface
The interface of CaCO3 (calcite) and water is of paramount importance in a number of key academic and industrial areas, including scale deposition in domestic and industrial... -
Adsorption Kinetics and Structure of Silicatein Mediated Silica Films
The fabrication of composite coatings based on silica with well defined physical properties represents a promising new approach to fine-tune mechanical, optical, electronic, and... -
Evolution of magnetic and structural ordering in (1-x)BiFeO3-xPbTiO3 system
The perovskite BiFeO3 has received considerable attention over the years due to its unique ferroelectric and multiferroic properties at room temperature. It has been reported...
