Determination of the Interfacial Structure of Lubricating Bottle-Brush Polyme...
Lubrication of surfaces by modification with polymer films has proven an efficient method of frictional reduction. Bio-inspired bottle-brush copolymers containing a linear block... -
Non-lamellar lipid-based liquid crystalline structures at interfaces - effect...
To understand better the properties of non-lamellar liquid crystalline nanoparticles, LCNP, as delivery vehicles or surface modifying systems, it is crucial to understand how... -
Stabilization of anisotropic pigment particles: SANS
We wish to determine the effect of various stabilisers on anisotropic pigment particles that are being developed for use in liquid crystal composites. The SANS method uses the... -
Structure of ethylammonium nitrate-water mixtures
We propose to explore the morphology of Ethylammonium Nitrate (EAN, a protic ionic liquid, PIL)-water mixtures. Both components are polar, protic compounds whose structure is... -
Interfacial adsorption of monoclonal antibodies and antigen binding
Antibody-antigen binding has been extensively used in many technological applications such as immunoassays, chemical analysis and bionanotechnology. The crucial element... -
Encapsulation in Mixed Cat-anionic Surfactant Polymer Films
This proposal continues our investigations into polyelectrolyte-surfactant films at the air-solution interface. Using mixtures of cationic and anionic surfactants (CTAB/SDS) we... -
Manipulating 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... -
Understanding Structural Changes in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) on Heating
This experiment will establish the structural changes that occur in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) prior to the process of pore collapse or crystallisation. We will study the... -

Confinement and Liquid Crystal Films
Liquid crystals (LCs) are known to act as good lubricants, however, the reason for this remains unclear. One contributing factor is thought to be the formation of ordered layers... -
The action of membrane lytic compounds on model membranes.
The study of antifungal and antibacterial action is of great interest and there are still many unknowns concerning the action of membrane lytic materials, and the way that... -
The interpenetration of two poly(ethylene oxide) polymer brushes under confin...
Coating two surfaces with polymer brushes has been shown on many occasions to reduce friction by orders of magnitude. These ultra-low frictions are believed to stem from be the... -
Understanding and Controlling Biosurfactant self assembly in solution
Biosurfactants are becoming more commonplace in pharmaceuticals, vaccines and other forms of medicines. With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce... -
Spontaneous surface multilayer formation in oligoamine ¿ surfactant mixtures
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... -

Antibody-antigen binding has been extensively used in many technological applications such as immunoassays, chemical analysis and bionanotechnology. The crucial element... -
Singlet oxygen interacting with muonium in liquid water
When a muonium in liquid water encounters with a singlet oxygen molecule, it will go through a different reaction/spin conversion mechanism compared with the known case of the... -
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... -
Probing CoFeNi thin films using polarised neutrons
Near-equimolar multi-component alloys, known as high entropy alloys (HEAs), possess potential for the development of new functional micromaterials. HEAs can be stabilised by... -
The role of disulphide bridges in the adsorption of globular proteins at the ...
Following our previous study of adsorption of globular lysozyme and BSA at the oil/water interface by neutron reflection, we continue to explore how unfolding of globular...
