Wetting Transitions of Tackifiers in Adhesives
Migration and surface segregation of low molecular weight oligomers in adhesive formulations is a poorly understood, but hugely important phenomenon, responsible for most of the... -
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... -
Influence of Aliphatic for Tackifiers on Glassy Domains in Hot Melt Adhesives
We have recently shown by neutron reflectometry, that the glassy styrenic blocks, normally assumed to be impervious to aliphatic oligomers do in fact show a significant level of... -
Do cardiolipins play a role for the mode of action of antimicrobial peptides?...
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), also called host defense peptides, are part of the innate immune system of essentially all species, from bacteria themselves to mammals to protect... -
Shear driven assembly of magnetic nanoparticles close to a solid-liquid inter...
Ferro-fluids are liquids where magnetic nano-particles are dispersed in a solvent and are covered with surfactants to prevent clustering. If a magnetic field is applied to such... -
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... -

Proximity Effect in Fe3O4:Pt Multilayers
The spin Seebeck effect is a newly discovered phenomenon that if harnessed, could result in a significant improvement of the efficiency of thermoelectric energy generators. Spin... -
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,... -

Nanodiscs films at the air-water interface
Nanodiscs are self assembled complexes of phospholipids and a class of amphipathic helical proteins termed membrane scaffold proteins . The proteins and lipids self-assemble... -
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... -
The Effect of the Head Group on Multilayering of Alkanoic Alkyl Ester Sulphon...
We have shown that under certain conditions multilayer adsorption of surfactants occurs at the air-water interface. in which case the system becomes a powerful wetting agent (it... -
Joint Diamond/ISIS proposal 22078
The basis of a biological cell membrane is a lipid bilayer containing functional proteins. Its purpose is to form a selective barrier that separates the aqueous fluids inside... -
Investigation of Induced Magnetism at Graphene/EuO Interfaces
Interface effects are attracting a renewed interest in recent years. It resides in the fact that when an interface is formed the break of symmetry gives rise to entirely new... -
NR study of binding of short antimicrobial alpha-helix peptides with model li...
In this work we explore how our rationally designed peptide amphiphiles bind onto lipid monolayers using neutron reflection combined with deuterium labelling to the lipids,... -
Structure and conformation of thermo-responsive nanogels at air/water interfa...
Soft polymeric nanoparticles possess many interesting properties. Those based on N-isopropylacrylamide are surface active and respond to changes in temperature. This give rise...
