Multilayering of Methyl Ester Sulphonates at the Air-Aqueous Interface: Effec...
Surfactants usually form a single layer of molecules at the surface of water. We have shown that under certain conditions more than one layer may form. When this happens the... -
Probing perfume surface delivery / retention rates in-situ
This proposal is part of a funded (CASE) project, aimed at understanding the delivery of benefit actives (perfumes) to interfaces and the development of new self-assembled... -
Interaction between Rubisco and SDOBS at an air-water interface
Protein-surfactant interactions at an interface play an important role for broad applications in the chemical, dairy, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Rubisco is the most... -
The origins of Biosurfactant self assembly
Biosurfactants are becoming more commonplace in pharmaceuticals, vaccines and other forms of medicines. With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce... -
AGGREGATION BEHAVIOUR OF A NOVEL P-AOT SURFACTANT
This proposal aims to provide essential surfactant micellisation structural information of significant interest in its own right but also as key information for our on-going... -
Neutron Reflection Studies on Adsorption of Myristoyl-L-Carnitine at the Air/...
The acyl-L-carnitines are a group of novel surfactants. Following our recent home laboratory work to synthesize, purify and characterize them, the aim of this proposal is to... -
Interaction of Surfactant with Model Lipid Membranes: Influence of Surfactant...
Skin becomes a target of drug delivery because the transdermal routes are non-invasive, can be self-administrated, improve patient compliance and can provide release for long... -
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... -
Interaction of lignosulphonates with model surfactant systems by neutron refl...
With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce reliance on palm and crude oil derived materials, it is vital that the Home and Personal Care industry... -
Multilayering of Methyl Ester Sulphonates at the Air-Aqueous Interface
Surfactants usually form a single layer of molecules at the surface of water. We have shown, surprisingly, that under certain conditions more than one layer may form. When this... -
Interactions of Cationic Surfactants with Phospholipid Vesicles: Influence of...
Surfactants are frequently used in personal care products to improve the wetting and oil solubilizing qualities of the products, which also leads to the skin irritation by... -
Competetive adsorption in hydrophobin / protein mixtures at the air-solution ...
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... -
Surface activity of biosurfactant (sophorolipid) / surfactant mixtures
Understanding the fundamental aspects of the surface adsorption and self-assembly of biosurfactant and biosurfactant / conventional surfactant mixtures is a major challenge for... -

Self-assembly of polymer-stabilised cyclopeptide nanotubes
SANS will be used to determine the structure of nanotube dispersions formed by H-bond stacking of cyclopeptides coated with a sheath of stabilizing polymer. Cyclopeptide... -
The effect of phospholipid on the adsorption of HSA at a solid surface
As part of a project concerning the fate of nanoparticles in the body we have been studying the kinetic and competitive (or cooperative) aspects of protein adsorption. HSA is... -
Interactions of Surfactant Mixtures with Phospholipid Vesicles: the Influence...
Surfactants have been widely used in cosmetics, detergents and pharmaceutical industries. These applications are always accompanied by surfactant-induced skin irritation which... -
Metallomicroemulsions - a new class of supramolecularly organised metal ions
Incorporation of d- or f-block metals into ligand systems that renders a metal complex surface active or drives its partitioning into surfactant phases enables the localisation... -
NR Investigation of Structural Basis Underlying Synergistic Binding of Lipope...
In this part of the proposed work, we wish to explore how antibiotics and antimicrobial peptides interact with model lipid bilayers in the form of a supported lipid bilayer,... -
Nanoparticle-surfactant layers at the water-oil interface
The spontaneous selfassembly of nanoparticles (NP) at liquid-liquid interfaces is a phenomenon present in nature and relevant for many applications, such as, emulsion...
