Self-assembly of protein polymer conjugates: Effect of copolymer structure
Conjugation of therapeutic proteins to polymers is well established but most methods result in multi-site and multiple conjugation or crosslinking resulting in lack of... -
Competitive interactions in polymer-particle-surfactant blends
Many formulations comprise distinct chemical species that exhibit antagonistic or synergistic interactions that result in unpredictable behaviour. Previous work from our group... -
Self-assembly of GFP-HMPA protein polymer conjugates: Effect of polymer hydro...
Conjugation of therapeutic proteins to polymers is well established but most methods result in multi-site and multiple conjugation, crosslinking resulting in lack of orientation... -
Lipid-polymer nanodiscs: Effects of tail length
Nanostructured lipid aggregates offer enormous potential as tools for membrane structural biology and biophysics. Poly(Styrene-Maleic Acid) stabilized lipid nanodiscs have a... -
Small angle neutron scattering study on the interaction between antimicrobial...
Bacterial endotoxins, or lipopolysaccharide (LPS), released from the gram negative bacterial membrane, form different aggregates in solution which morphology depends on the type... -
Understanding drug carrier interactions in the stomach
In a pharmaceutical industry context, hydrophilic polymeric matrices are a popular methodology for extending the release of drugs. However, issues sometimes arise -... -
SANS Study of the interaction of reconstituted model wheat waxes with non-ion...
The understanding of the plant wax-surfactant interaction process is crucial to the development of more effective pesticide and fungicide formulations, essential for improving... -
Controlling the morphology of fullerene-free polymer solar cells using additi...
We have recently demonstrated, using small angle neutron scattering in combination with other techniques, that in organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) the additive... -
Co-assembly of gold nanoparticles with wormlike micelles
Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are attracting tremendous interest in nanotechnology due to their plasmonic properties, in particular the localized surface plasmon resonance effect... -
Film formation in macroRAFT latices studied by SANS
Latex is made from tiny polymer particles in water. Latex films are used in paints and to manufacture adhesives & inks. Latex is good for the environment, as it does not... -
Conformational behaviour of amphiphilic polymethacrylate-poly(acrylic acid) c...
We intend to use small angle neutron scattering to investigate the conformational behaviour of a range of amphiphilic copolymers comprising a hydrophobic methacrylate segment... -
Asymmetric diffusion of water into bicontinuous cubic lipid nanomaterials usi...
In this proposal we will investigate hypothesized asymmetric diffusion of water into lipid cubic (QII) phases. This asymmetric diffusion, which is relevant to the behavior of... -
Investigation of zwitterionic surfactant, Ca2+ and bio-polymer interactions
We are currently investigating the formation and structure of surfactant-templated polymer films comprised of cat-anionic surfactant mixtures and a variety of polymers. As we... -
