Photooxidation of Secondary Atmospheric Aerosol from photo generated Toluene
Oxidation of urban aromatic atmospheric aerosol can produce cloud condensation nuclei capable of changing the reflectivity and lifetime of clouds. The oxidation of organic film... -
Neutron Reflection Studies on Adsorption of Lauroyl-L-Carnitine (C12-L-Caniti...
Acyl L-Carnitines are a group of novel surfactants with attractive physical and biological properties associated with their head group charge features. This work proposes to use... -
Interactions of lipidic cubic nanoparticles with model lipid biomembranes at ...
Lipidic cubic nanoparticles (LCNPs) have been extensively studied as therapeutic agents and delivery systems due to their biocompatibility, ease of drug encapsulation and... -
impact of mutlivalent counterions on surfactant adsorption
We request NR beam time on SURF to study the impact of multivalent counterions on the surface adsorption of alkyloxyethylene sulfate surfactants and alkyloxyethylene sulphate /... -
Effect of glycolipids with therapeutic potential on phase behaviour of model ...
alpha-galactosylceramide (a-GalCer) can activate an immune response through a protein-mediated cell signalling event. The effect of a-GalCer on local membrane structure is... -
Determination of Organic Friction Modifier conformation under shear
Engine oils act to lubricate and protect moving parts in an engine. They act to reduce friction and reduce emissions. A major class of friction reducing additives are organic... -
Warm Polar Cloud Chemistry: Can the Halogen "explosion" effect cloud droplet ...
The oxidative processing of pollutants in Polar clouds affects droplet size and optical properties. Polar clouds contain naturally occurring organic lipids forming organic films... -
Understanding the antimicrobial activity of the salivary protein Histatin 5
The goal of this project is to understand the antimicrobial activity of the intrinsically disordered salivary protein Histatin 5, which acts in defence against oral candidiasis... -
Closer to Reality: Studies of Mixed Organic Monolayer Ozonolysis at Atmospher...
Films of various surface-active species are found on the surface of water bodies from the sea down to microscopic spray droplets. These films affect the properties of the water... -
Oxidation of gram-negative cell-wall proxy with OH radicals - kinetics and me...
Hydroxyl radicals may be used as disinfection agent in the advanced oxidation processes or tertiary treatment of waste and occasionally drinking water. In this exploratory work,... -
Adsorption of surfactants used in fire-fighting foams
The aim is to use Neutron Reflectivity (NR) to gain essential information on adsorption properties of practical fluorotelomer surfactants used in fire-fighting foam formulations... -
Vibrational Densities of States from Amorphous Nanocomposites for Novel Drug ...
In the current proposal, we require TOSCA to investigate by vibrational spectroscopy the apparent amorphous nature of the prototype drug molecule ibuprofen confined by... -

What is the reactivity of marine atmospheric aerosol to oxidation? A study of...
The Earth's climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important effects. Common... -
Interfacial structures and competitive adsorption of amphiphilic polymers wit...
Foam stability, appearance and functionality is governed by the thin liquid films between foam bubbles. These films are stabilised by surface active molecules (surfactants and... -
Investigation of surface conjugation of proteins in lipid membrane using neut...
Bilayer lipid membranes and their interactions with the integral or peripheral proteins serve as one of the key mechanism in various cellular functions like communication, cell... -
Complex evolution of solution microstructure in LAS / nonionic surfactant mix...
This proposal is part of a broad programme of collaborative research between RAL / Oxford and Unilever, using predominantly scattering techniques to investigate the nature of... -
Lipodepsipeptides and Brown Blotch Disease in Mushrooms (ii) the role of tola...
Tolaasin is a lipodepsipeptide (lipo = hydrophobic side chain, depsipeptide is an amino acid ring closed in a particular way) produced by strains of Pseudomonas tolaasii, and it... -
Study of mixed biopolymers at the oil-water interface
Proteins are important in many applications ranging from the stabilisation of emulsions (oil-water interface) to foams (air-water interface). Understanding the relationship... -
Steroidal drug containing dodecyl sulphate monolayers: effect of counterion
An number of potential drugs, including steroidal drugs are extremely water insoluble, limiting their commercialisation as medicines. Solubilisation of drug in surfactant...
