Detailed structures of surfactant micelles
Measurements are required for Sans2d resolution checks and also the overlap of the two Sans2d detectors. Proposal submitted to panel and they deemed it should be done as... -
W/CO2 nanodispersions as an energy-saving nanoreactor separable by pressure a...
Recent studies implied an unusual headgroup (HG)-free, fluorocarbon (FC) surfactant Nohead FC6-HC4 to form stable, W/CO2 nanodispersions (W/C NDs). With the unusual surfactant... -
CATIONIC POLYMERS AS POTENTIAL GENE DELIVERY AGENTS: EVALUATION OF CONFORMATI...
Bio-responsive polymers hold great promise as delivery vehicles for drugs, peptides and proteins as their chemistry can be tuned to effect a change in physico-chemical... -
Exploring CO2-philic/ CO2-phobic amphiphiles, cross-linkers and HC-polymers f...
Over the last two decades, many polymers have been tested to increase CO2 viscosity for applications in enhanced oil recovery using CO2 (CO2-EOR). Unfortunately, conventional... -
Structure and mobility of surfactant additives in PDMS resin
Polysiloxane materials are commonly used in marine coatings due to their inherently low surface energy and flexibility which makes them suitable base materials for foul release... -
SANS studies of the micellar structures of mixtures of lauroyl-L-carnitine an...
As a new group of synthetic biosurfactants, the acyl-L-carnitines offer potential for different applications including working as edible biocides. Whilst extensive studies have... -
Solution aggregation of short peptide surfactants
Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly to lead to interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation.... -
Revealing the Structure behind the Synergistic Phase Behavior of the Ternary ...
The aim of this collaborative proposal is to unravel micro- and nano-structures underlying unusually high solution viscosities from mixed surfactant systems. SANS is a unique... -
Ion and temperature effects on the self-assembly of short peptides - SANS stu...
In this work, we have selected a group of 5 short peptides I3GGHK, I4GGHK, I3GGGHK, I3GGHHK and I3KGGH to study how changes in peptide concentration, [Cu2+] and temperature... -
Optimising chemical structure of CO2-philic hybrid surfactants for stabilisin...
The proposal aims to explore water-in-CO2 (w/c) microemulsions with very promising hybridCO2-philic surfactants. The surfactants have been systematically synthesised... -
Self-assembling behaviour of N-acyl amino acid-based surfactants
N-acyl amino acids are surfactants with attractive applications in different technological fields. They are referred to as mild surfactants because they are commonly considered... -
In-situ devitrification of a Zr-based metallic glass (Zr59.3Cu28.8Al10.4Nb1.5...
Metallic glasses are alloys that do not exhibit long-range order. Samples of AMZ4 metallic glass (Zr59.3 Cu28.8 Al10.4 Nb1.5) have been produced using two different methods,... -
Assessing a potential method to form kinetically trapped, self-assembling nan...
Cyclic peptide-polymer conjugates can readily self-assembly into long nanotubes, and are being extensively studied for drug delivery applications. Recently, using SANS and... -
SANS studies on the structures of non-ionic surfactant micelles with/without ...
SANS is about the only technique that can determine the size and shape of surfactant micelles and the subsequent changes upon pesticide solubilisation. The aim of this work is... -
Small angle neutron scattering experiment of a novel pH and temperature sensi...
The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of different stimuli on a novel iron oxide core shell nanoparticles. The system is composed of a magnetite core with a... -
Measuring phospholipid flip-flop rates across vesicle bilayers
Asymmetry across biological membranes is vital for a wide range of organelle and cellular functions. Significant differences in lipid composition have been found between the... -
Telechelic Polymer - Homopolymer Blends
We have recently embarked on a new 1 year project funded by Michelin to explore the self-associatation and mechanical properties of telechelic rubbery materials. Such materials... -
In situ SANS study of a protein- graphene oxide (GO) co-assembly system
Supramolecular chemistry offers an exciting opportunity to assemble materials with molecular precision. However, there remains an unmet need to turn molecular self-assembly into... -
The role of chirality on polymeric membrane lytic activity
The human body has a well developed membrane chemistry which allows transport of fluids and salts whilst preventing other molecules and harmful agents from penetrating the cell....
