SANS studies of phospholipid:sterol vesicles and the membrane interactions of...
The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin B (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents that can circumvent the... -
Elucidating the unique role of non-standard collagen helices in forming key p...
The collagens are the most abundant proteins in mammalian systems, comprising up to 25% of human proteins. Their three-stranded triple helix structures are a major determinant... -
Evolving microemulsions - tuning selectivity in oxidation reactions
We have begun to explore the synthesis, reactivity and physicochemical properties of a number of surface-active metal complexes, to devise a method for the catalytic... -
Microemulsions stabilized by magnetic surfactants
Surfactant systems responsive to pH, temperature, CO2, and light are known. Our new work has shown for the first time, magneto-responsive surfactants (also being ionic liquids... -
Structural and mechanistic study of nanocapsule / hydrogel composites for dru...
The targeted delivery of non-water soluble drugs for applications such as cancer remains a major challenge. Nanocapsules are new materials that can act as a depot for such drugs... -
Probing bulk heterojunction (BHJ) thin films with graded morphologies using SANS
This projects aims to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between processing conditions, active layer morphology and device performance in polymer solar...
