Towards optimised detergency at low temperatures
This proposal is about the development of sustainable detergency based formulations, based on the blending of biosurfactants with conventional surfactants, and is part of a CASE... -
Lipid bilayers suspended beneath the air/water interface for neutron reflecti...
Bacterial membranes contain safety valves called mechanosensitive ion channels, which protect the bacterium from changes in the osmotic pressure of their environment. However,... -
Night-time oxidation of meat-cooking emissions: kinetics and products of mixe...
We propose to study the two unsaturated surfactant palmitoleic acid (POA) and oleic acid (OA) and three binary mixtures (1:1) stearic acid (SA)/OA, SA/POA and OA/POA exposed to... -

Oxidation of thin film at the air-water interface of cloud droplets using REA...
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... -
Investigating the surface structure and composition of binary ionic liquid mi...
The structure of ionic liquid (IL)-gas interfaces is currently a hot topic in the field and our understanding of pure ILs is improving. However, very little is known about the... -
Biosurfactant conventional surfactant mixing. Where nature does it better ?
Biosurfactants are becoming more commonplace in pharmaceuticals, vaccines and other forms of medicines. With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce... -
Adsorption of cationic surfactants to Al2O3
A recent experiment has provided clear evidence for a large maximum in the adsorption just below the critical micelle concentration of the surfactant hexadecyl trimethyl... -
Investigating the structure of the pulmonary lung surfactant at the air-water...
The lung surfactant is a film coating the alveolus of the lung. We want to characterize the structure of this film at the air-water interface at a molecular level. This will... -
Multilayering of Methyl Ester Sulphonates at the Air-Aqueous Interface: Effec...
Surfactants usually form a single layer of molecules at the surface of water. We have shown that under certain conditions more than one layer may form. When this happens the... -

The structure of ionic liquid (IL)-gas interfaces is currently a hot topic in the field and understanding of the surface structure of pure ILs is improving. However, very little... -
Binding studies of Quantum Dots and Pore-Forming Proteins on multi-component ...
Cell membrane being the first line of defence of a complex cell, it forms an important scientific topic to study its encounter with various external entities. Nanoparticles are... -
Determination of the absorbed amount and location of a hydrophobic drug in su...
Many drugs are both poorly water-soluble (hydrophobic) and lipophilic in nature and are therefore incorporated into surfactant micelles and monolayers. As the incorporation of... -

Dynamic Surface excess concentration of pH-responsive chelating surfactants
This study will examine a process of slow dynamic change in surface excess of a unique pH-responsive chelating surfactant at the air/liquid interface that occurs over a period... -
Membrane-stacking properties of myelin proteins
Myelin is the multilamellar structure that ensheaths axons and accelerates nervous impulses in the nervous system. The fine structure of myelin remains to be further... -
D2O Vapour Diffusion at the Air Water Interface
A theoretical estimate of the H/D exchange rate for an open trough (e.g. D2O in ambient atmosphere, 50% relative humidity) yields an amount of exchanged liquid of the order of... -
manipulating surface adsorption usinf ethoxylated polyelectrolytes
The strong interaction between polyelectrolytes and ionic surfactants can result in pronounced surface adsorption and the formation of surface multilayer structures. This...
