Structural studies of thermal responsive nanogels at the oil-water interface
It has been shown that gel particles are able to stabilize the oil-water interface and forming emulsions ( the so called "Pickering emulsions"). It has also been shown that... -
Spontaneous surfactant multilayer formation at interfaces induced by multival...
The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at interfaces from surfactant self-assembly is now emerging as an important structural signature associated with a wide range... -
Interactions of polyfluorinated substances with a phospholipid bilayer
Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have been used in various industrial applications and consumer products, but have received increasing global concern due to their... -
Structure and encapsulation of additives in spray coated surfactant templated...
This proposal continues our work into surfactant templated films formed from surfactant/polyelectrolyte solutions. Recently we have been studying the encapsulation of... -
Anionic surfactant induced desorption of cationic surfactants from anionic su...
In this proposal, we request beamtime to study the unexpected behaviour of a strongly bound bilayer of the cationic surfactant didodecyldimethylammonium bromide on the anionic... -
Adsorption of magnetic surfactants
Surfactants responsive to pH, temperature, CO2, and light are known, however, our recent work has shown, for the first time surfactants that are magneto-responsive, and also... -
The influence of chemical pressure on the helimagnetic correlatations and sky...
The recent discovery of skyrmions and skyrmion lattices in materials with no inversion symmetry and their corresponding potential applications of Skyrmions in magnetic... -
An INS Study of the Effect of Pressure on the Crystal Structure Titanium Tetr...
TiCl4 forms a molecular structure containing isolated tetrahedral molecules on cooling to 248 K. The freezing pressure of TiCl4 is 0.05 GPa (500 atm). Single crystal growth... -
Stabilising emulsions with protein-surfactant mixtures.
Hydrophobins, hfb2, are secreted fungal proteins, which are strongly surface active and possess powerful emulsion and foam stabilising properties. Understanding their... -
Deforming TWIP steels at cryogenic temperatures
Dense mechanical twins and phase transformation are the most attractive athermal transformation processes since they can endow alloys with significant strength enhancement as... -
Surface adsorption in hydrophobin, Tween and β-Casein mixtures
Increased environmental pressures and awareness is promoting a major drive towards an increased use of biosurfactants to produce more biosustainable and biodegradable consumer... -
Investigation of the surface structure of anionic surfactants induced by the ...
This proposal is part of a major EPSRC (EP/GR065705) / Unilever funded programme to develop and control the spontaneous formation of surfactant multilayer structures at... -
Adsorption of sodium polyacrylate to sapphire - how does a colloidal stabiliz...
Stabilizers of colloidal particles are often complex and their function may involve several mechanisms to impart stability of a wide range of conditions. Sodium polyacrylate is... -
Adsorption of multicomponent biosurfactant / surfactant mixtures at the air-w...
This proposal is part of a collaboration between Oxford and Ulster Universities and Unilever, on the development of sustainable laundry detergents, using a blend of conventional... -
Neutron reflectivity studies of the interaction of amphotericin with model ce...
The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents that can circumvent the pathogens¿... -
Insertion of antimicrobial peptides into phospholipid monolayers at air/liqui...
We have designed a series of cationic peptides with different helix repeats that can kill bacteria but remain benign to mammalian host cells. The selectivity to cell types is... -
Self-Organisation of Phospholipids on Au Electrodes
This experiment is part of a programme to study the effect of applied electric fields on the structure of biomimetic films formed at Au electrodes, with emphasis on... -

Adsorption of surfactants used in fire-fighting foams
The aim is to use Neutron Reflectivity (NR) to gain essential information on adsorption properties of practical fluorotelomer surfactants used in fire-fighting foam formulations... -
Temperature dependence of spin dynamics near quantum criticality in an Ising ...
This proposal is part of our research programme to explore the interplay of thermal and quantum fluctuations near zero-temperature quantum phase transitions. Here we apply for a...
