manipulating surface adsorption usinf ethoxylated polyelectrolytes
The strong interaction between polyelectrolytes and ionic surfactants can result in pronounced surface adsorption and the formation of surface multilayer structures. This... -
Comparative Interaction Studies of Antimicrobial Agents on Bacterial Membrane...
The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-Negative bacteria (GNB) is an asymmetric structure which contains complex lipids known as lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) on the outer surface. LPSs... -
Reflectometry studies of the mechanism of formation of mesoporous silicate fi...
Surfactant-silica self-assembly processes have been extensively studied since the discovery of M41S mesoporous materials in 1992. Mesoporous silicate films can be grown from... -
Surface multilayer structures in hydrophobin-Tween mixtures
Increased environmental pressures and awareness is promoting a major drive towards an increased use of biosurfactants to produce more biosustainable and biodegradable consumer... -
Organisation of Outer membrane protein F at the air/liquid interface
Crystallisation of membrane proteins as a precursor to high resolution structural studies is a significant research bottleneck. We are investigating alternative methods to... -
Oxidation of a bilayer of DOPC by aqueous ozone - a chemical, kinetic and mec...
Mineral aerosol in the atmosphere is a major part of the Earths aerosol budget. Organic films on these aerosols affect the aerosols ability to promote cloud formation and... -
Structures of cardiolipin-bound cytochrome c in pathological conditions
Cardiolipin (CL) is a structurally unique dimeric phospholipid localized in the inner mitochondrial membrane, which is known to provide essential structural and functional... -
Structure formation in catanionic surfactant/polymer templated inorganic film...
Recently we have been investigating the mineralization of polymer-surfactant films to create thicker and more robust self-supporting membranes. Our previous experiments used the... -
Probing the electroactive interface of ionic liquids and their solutions
We propose a detailed study of the interfacial structuring of a non-halogenated, and tribologically relevant, ionic liquid (IL) at an electrified interface, as a function of... -

Multilayering of Methyl Ester Sulphonates at the Air-Aqueous Interface
Surfactants usually form a single layer of molecules at the surface of water. We have shown, surprisingly, that under certain conditions more than one layer may form. When this... -
Ordering and interfaces in deuterated semiconducting liquid crystal/polymer s...
The main objective of this proposal is to study the structure of the interface between a semiconducting liquid crystal (LC) and a soft dielectric substrate for their potential... -
Probing Solvation and Segregation in Multilayer Conducting Polymer Films
Tuning the colour of electrochromic conducting polymers can be achieved by layer upon layer deposition of multiphase components. This approach can offer advantages over other... -
Competetive adsorption in hydrophobin / protein mixtures at the air-solution ...
Hydrophobins are secreted fungal proteins in the form of small lipopetide biosurfactants. They are strongly surface active and self assemble at interfaces and in solution. This... -
Controlling the morphology of bulk heterojunction (BHJ) films using mixtures ...
We have recently demonstrated that in organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) the additive 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO) largely remains in the film after spin-coating acting as a... -
Oxidation of thin film at the air-water interface of cloud droplets using REA...
The Earth's climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important effects. Common... -

Surface Layer Structures of Short Peptide Amphiphiles
Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly, leading to interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation.... -
Interaction of human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase with ubiquinone in model li...
Human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) is a membrane-bound enzyme of clinical interest and a well-validated drug target for e.g. rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis....
