The nonionic polysorbate (Tween) surfactants are an important class of food grade surfactants. They are extensively use in emulsion and foam stabilisation, and are increasingly...

Increased environmental pressures and awareness is promoting a major drive towards an increased use of biosurfactants to produce more biosustainable and biodegradable consumer...

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...

The formation of multilayer structures at surfaces and interfaces from self-assembly in mixed surfactant and in polymer / surfactant mixtures has been recently reported, and...

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...

Soft polymeric nanoparticles possess many interesting properties. Those based on N-isopropylacrylamide are surface active and respond to changes in temperature. This give rise...

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...

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...

Neutron reflectometery will be used to provide the vital information about the interaction/conformation of the organophosphonate compound on the lipid structure in the...

Hydrophobins are small compact secreted fungal proteins which are strongly surface active and adhere to both hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces. Their strong surface activity...

Understanding the transport and adsorption dynamics of nanogels at interfaces as a function of structural morphology are of great importance to further their development and...

Drug delivery through skin is an important delivery route. However, the outermost layer of the skin provides a formidable barrier to dermal absorption and penetration for...

Drug delivery through skin is an important delivery route. However, the outermost layer of the skin provides a formidable barrier to dermal absorption and penetration for...

In recent years nanogels show great potential as drug delivery systems. Especially dermal drug administration which is non-invasive, helps to avoid the first-pass effect with...

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...
