Probing the interactions of aqueous hydrophobically-modified microgel particl...
A recent LOQ experiment revealed that co-monomers are homogenously distributed within regions of colloidal poly(NIPAM) microgel particles. This proposal has two aims: (1) refine... -
Structure of Colloidal Titania Particles in Water vs Organic Solvent
Dye sensitised solar cells, based around colloids of the wide bandgap semiconductor TiO2 with bound dyes have potential to provide a cheap,sustainable source of solar energy... -
Characterisation and peptide resistance capabilities of bacterial membrane mi...
Lysylphosphatidylglycerol (LPG) is a major constituent of the plasma membrane of the bacterial pathogen methicilin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which has been... -
AOT stabilized aqueous ferrofluids
The aim of the experiment is to employ SANS to study the physical properties of a novel and very stable aqueous Fe3O4 ferrofluid system stabilized by the commercially available... -
Rhamnolipids and Amphotericin B: a potential highly specific delivery system ...
Rhamnolipids are a type of glycolipid biosurfactant, produced as secondary metabolites by various Pseudomonas and Burkholderia species; they have been shown to possess... -

The effect of unsaturation on the shear dependence of cationic lamellar phase...
Products such as fabric and hair conditioners are commonly in the form of di-alkyl chain cationic lamellar phase dispersion. The effects of shear on such lamellar phase... -
Interaction of a pH-sensitive Polymer with a Model Lipid Membrane in the Form...
This SANS experiment was proposed by 4 PhD students from 3 different institutions in a Marie-Curie Training Network. They are all in the second year of their PhD and their... -
Evolution of raft formation over time using contrast variation SANS
Small angle neutron scattering will be used in combination with contrast variation as a non-invasive method to detect the presence and size formation of lipid microdomains or... -
Solution aggregation of short peptide amphiphiles
Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly to lead to interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation.... -
interaction of a pharmaceutical water-soluble polymer with bio-relevant surfa...
We have been developing hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) microspheres for delivering poorly water-soluble drugs. The in vitro dissolution data showed that the presence of... -
Mixed micelles with green surfactants
This proposal aims to explore aqueous phase structures and compositions of a series of mixed surfactants. Although standard petrochemically-derived surfactant mixtures have been... -
Constructing analogues of gemini and oligomeric surfactants through noncovale...
Gemini-like and oligomeric-like surfactants can be constructed by single-chain or gemini surfacants with connecting molecules through noncovalent binding without complicated... -
Gelatin scaffolds from marine species: Physical gels and enzymatically cross-...
Hydrogels from biopolymers are attracting increasing attention for a range of biomedical applications, but the lack of structural understanding hinders the development of new... -
AGGREGATION BEHAVIOUR OF A NOVEL P-AOT SURFACTANT
This proposal aims to provide essential surfactant micellisation structural information of significant interest in its own right but also as key information for our on-going... -
New surfactants forming anisotropic micelles and microemulsions in CO2
An analogue of the popular surfactant AOT with isopropyl glycol tails (IG-AOT, Figure.1) has been recently designed as a co-surfactant for water-in-CO2 (w/c) systems: stable... -
Nanosuspsomicroemulsions: nanosuspension stabilty
At Kings College London we have recently developed a novel combination formulation, a nanosuspsomicroemulsion (NSME), comprising of a microemulsion (ME) containing one drug and... -
Micelle structures in unequal mixtures of amino-acid surfactants
In a previous proposal we started to study the micellar structures formed from biodegradable surfactants synthesised using amino acids as the headgroups. The aim of this work is... -
Temperature and flow stability of model sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate (NaLAS)...
Linear sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate (NaLAS) is one of the most extensively used anionic surfactant in the world, mainly as a biodegradable laundry detergent, with an annual... -
Further SANS contrast measurements on important protein/DNA interactions from...
This proposal is to perform further SANS contrast measurements on three protein/DNA interactions currently worked on at the Research Complex at Harwell. This is part of an...
