Binding behaviour of PAMAMs G5 and G4.5 to zwitterionic and anionic lipid bil...
Polymers are commonly used in drug delivery to create dosage forms that enable delivery of the active ingredient to the site of action within the body. Towards controlled drug... -
In situ study of destruction of a denatured surface protein by protease (Savi...
New detergents will increasingly rely on sustainable products and the use of enzymes will become ever more important. However, the process of destruction of stains (often... -
An immunoassay for the detection of IGFBPs: surface characterisation
Summary: The FIII9'10 domain pair is an antibody light chain mimic which we serendipitously found binds IGFBP-5, a therapeutic target in late stage prostate cancer. An... -
Inducing Magnetic Order in Topological Insulators by Ferromagnetic Insulators
We intend to study a new class of materials known as 3D topological insulators. The electronic states in these materials have a non-trivial topology, different to almost all... -
Interfacial layer structure of designed linear lipopeptides
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 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... -
Effect of saponin-rich plant extracts on skin-mimicking model lipid bilayers
Plant-derived biosurfactants of the group of saponins offer an attractive alternative to synthetic surfactants because of their unique foaming and emulsifying properties... -
Surfactant Modified Salivary Pellicles
Salivary films are (mostly) proteinaceous nm-thick films that form on any type of surface upon exposure to saliva. The role of the pellicle is manifold. Among its functions,... -
Investigation on the air-water adsorption behaviour of N-acyl amino acid surf...
N-acyl amino acids are promising anionic amphiphilic molecules with an improved toxicological profile in comparison to the most common used sulfate-based surfactants. Previous... -
Coexistence of Superconductivity and Magnetism in Thin Films
We have recently used a combination of PNR and low energy muon spin rotation (LEM) to detect the coexistence of an induced SDW and superconductivity in the superconducting layer... -
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... -

Adsorbtion from nematic mixtures
The aim is to measure the preferential adsorption of one component in a nematic mixture. The base is 4-pentyl 4¿- cyanobiphenyl (5CB) and it is doped with 4-pentyl 4¿-... -
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... -
Studying the lateral organisation of mixed phospholipid bilayers by diffuse n...
Off-specular neutron reflection is potentially a powerful technique for studying the lateral organisation of phospholipid bilayers. However, this has not yet been demonstrated.... -
Enzyme-catalysed templating of biosilica
Summary. Silicatein in marine sponges catalyses the condensation of silica but the mechanism of layer-by-layer growth of the silica spicule is unknown since sufficient... -
Adsorption versus aggregation; Particles and surface of matching material
The balance between particle-surface and particle-particle interactions is entropically driven. We would like to investigate wherever a multiplayer layer adsorption on a...
