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... -
How aggregate lifetimes affect the kinetics of surfactant surface multilayer ...
The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at interfaces from surfactant self-assembly is an important structural signature associated with a wide range of technological... -
Membrane reconstitution of human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase using lipid-det...
Human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) is an integral membrane protein found in mitochondria involved in the biosynthesis of pyrimidines. DHODH oxidizes dihydroorotate with... -
Effect of calcium ions and ionic strength on model bilayer structure
Calcium ions have been shown in a preliminary experiment to have a dramatic effect on the thickness and structure of free supported bilayer films. In this proposal we... -
Multi-component mixtures of biosurfactants and conventional surfactants
This proposal is about the development of sustainable detergency based formulations, based on the blending of biosurfactants and conventional surfactants, and is part of a CASE... -
Q-dependence of the single particle motion in a molten alkali halide
An inelastic X-ray investigation on the collective inelastic dynamics of molten NaCl revealed the remarkable result that the acoustic-like dynamics is similar to the dispersion... -
Polyhedral connectivity in high lead silicate glasses
We have a long-established interest in the structural role of heavy-metal, lone-pair cations such as Pb in glasses. PbO can be incorporated to very high concentrations in oxide... -
Interactions Between Ionic Liquids and Water
To date many papers have been published on the effects of impurities on the physical properties of ionic liquids (near room-temperature molten salts), however, only few studies... -
Surface adsorption in multi-component biosurfactant-surfactant mixtures
This proposal is about the development of sustainable detergency based formulations, based on the blending of biosurfactants with conventional surfactants, and is part of a CASE... -
Deformation mechanisms in several simple alloys to underpin creep damage char...
The proposal is to study three alloys, both at high temperature and room temperature, to corroborate strain results obtained through high resolution digital image correlation.... -
Kinetics of surfactant multilayer formation / dissolution at interfaces
The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at surfaces and interfaces from self-assembly in mixed surfactant and in polymer / surfactant mixtures are being increasingly... -
Deformation mechanisms of a newly developed Ni-base superalloy at cryogenic t...
Haynes 282 is a novel Ni-base superalloy, combining excellent weldability and general processability with moderate cost. As such, it is very promising for e.g. industrial gas... -
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...
