The stratum corneum layer of the skin acts as a barrier between the body and the external environment. This is achieved by dead corneocytes encased in a lamellar lipid matrix,...

The aim of this proposal is to understand the initial propagation of a sharp magnetic soliton after nucleation in tall synthetic ferrimagnetic structures (with six and eight...

There has been much interest recently in the possible applications of nanobubbles in solution, due to their wide applications in many fields of science and technology, such as...

Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is commonly used as a viscosity modifier in many chemical systems, from paints to cement. HEC forms a physical gel in water due to the presence of...

We request two days’ beam time on SANS2D for the study of radiation-grafted anion-exchange membranes, both dry and hydrated under different ratios of D2O/H2O. These materials...

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) are frequently delivered to the patient in the solid state as part of an approved dosage form (e.g. tablets, capsules, etc.) Drug...

Our goal is to understand the role of POPS, a lipid component only found in the inner leaflet of plasma membrane, in the organization of cholesterol in cell membranes. Our...

Aggregates of the cationic conjugated polyelectrolyte (CPE) HTMA-PFP with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) will be studied in aqueous solutions using SANS. Previous fluorescence,...

Active pharmaceutical ingredient (APIs) are frequently delivered to the patient in the solid-state as part of an approved dosage form (e.g., tablets, capsules, etc.). Drug...

Tuning the interactions between different surfaces has technological benefits in areas such as adhesion, compatibilisation and nano-actuators. We shall study the interaction...

Antibody-antigen binding has been extensively used in many technological applications such as immunoassays, chemical analysis and bionanotechnology. The crucial element...

Protection of biological molecules during freezing and lyophilisation is of commercial importance to the pharmaceutical, medical, and food industries. Sugars and surfactants...

PPO-PEO-PPO copolymer-based lubricant with extreme pressure or friction modifier additives has been introduced as boundary lubricant in metal forming. The Pluronic reverse...

Proteins from Moringa trees have attracted considerable interest as flocculents for water purification and possibly as materials for remediation of contaminated soil....

The aim of this proposal is to understand the initial propagation of a sharp magnetic soliton after nucleation in tall synthetic ferrimagnetic structures (with six and eight...

This proposal aims to explore aqueous phase structures and compositions of a series of mixed surfactants. Although standard petrochemically-derived surfactant mixtures have been...

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...

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are ubiquitous in our portable electronics, however they are ill suited for applications where cost or sustainability are of paramount importance,...

Many formulations comprise distinct chemical species that exhibit antagonistic or synergistic interactions that result in unpredictable behaviour. Previous work from our group...
