Novel protophane and cyclophane surfactants
Novel Gemini surfactants (protophanes and cyclophanes) have been synthesised as model biological anion receptors, and their critical micelle concentrations determined by surface... -
Mixed micelles with "green" surfactants
This proposal aims to explore aqueous phase structures and compositions of a series of mixed surfactants. Although standard surfactant mixtures have been extensively studied... -
Co-adsorption of eggshell membrane polypeptide-surfactant mixtures at oil-in-...
An eggshell membrane polypeptide is highly surface active and effective at emulsion stabilization. We explore how to use SANS to study the interfacial layers surrounding the... -
Competition at the nanoparticle surface: one polymer, two surfactants, many p...
Polymers and surfactants are key components in detergency. Understanding their interactions is essential to formulate smartly. Detergent formulations usually contain a mixture... -
Cationic & Nonionic Micelles in Deep Eutectic Solvents
Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are molecular mixtures similar to ionic liquids, having melting points below room temperature. DES share many of the features of ionic liquids (low... -
Concentrated emulsions as proxy CO2 thickeners
The proposal aims to explore the oil-in-water (brine) high internal phase emulsion systems (HIPEs) formed by nonylphenol ethoxylate surfactants using contrast variation SANS... -
Bulk interactions of surfactant molecules in aqueous particle suspensions
Surfactants represent an important class of compounds owing to their ability to readily locate at interfaces, be it airliquid, liquidliquid or solidliquid. As such,... -
Structural development of magnetite chains
One dimensional (1D) magnetic nanostructures exhibit anisotropic magnetic properties and thereby differ from unstructured materials. However, magnetic chains are energetically... -
Fundamentals of Nanotoxicity: The Role of Nanoparticles in Lowering the Energ...
Despite the increasing use of nanoparticles (NPs), our current knowledge of how NPs interact with the human body or the environment remains limited. Of a number of mechanisms, a... -
Molecular Mechanistic Processes of Complexation between DNA and Cationic Copo...
We have previously used LOQ to identify the complex (polyplex) structures formed between a short single strand DNA and a cationic diblock copolymer MPC30-DEA60. The SANS... -
Pickering emulsions stabilized with oxidised cellulose nanofibrils and starch
Our group has been working functionalised cellulose nanofibrils which form gels in aqueous formulations. Previously we have used these fibrils to stabilise oil-in-water... -
CO2 foams stabilized by W/CO2 interfacially active hydrocarbon surfactants an...
CO2 foams can be formed in water/carbon dioxide (W/CO2) mixtures with the aid of W/CO2 interfacially active hydrocarbon surfactants and surface treated silica nanoparticles... -
E/T scaling and quantum critical fluctuations in Sr3Ru2O7
Nowadays, Fe3O4 iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 MNPs) have attracted attention as highly performing contrast agents for Magnetic Resonance Imaging technique (MRI), aiming to... -
Effects of pH and ionic strength on stability and structure of lipid-polymer ...
Nanostructured lipid aggregates offer enormous potential as tools for membrane structural biology and biophysics. Styrene-Maleic Acid Lipid Particles have a number of attractive... -
The structure of particle stabilised foams
Many formulated products pass through or end up as foams, comprising immiscible millimeter sized bubbles dispersed into an aqueous continuous phase. Frequently, surfactants or... -
Impact of particle properties on the structure of supramolecular hydrogels
For biomaterial applications, it is important that the properties of self-assembled hydrogels are well controlled and match the requirements of the application. The influence of... -
Elucidating the microstructure of dipeptide-based gelators
Dipeptide-based gelators can form hydrogels at low concentrations using a number of means. We have found that the method by which the gels are formed can have a profound effect... -

Interactions between alkylmethacrylate modifed polymers and surfactant micelles
We have observed formation of polymer-surfactant films at the air interface having a range of structures, related to their solution interactions. The films form with... -
Investigation of cement pore structure evolution in underground repository co...
It is proposed that radioactive waste generated in the Netherlands be buried underground in Boom clay formations. As this will need to be stored for hundreds of thousands of...
