Oils are commonly used in personal care industry as emollients. Owing to their undesirable feel they are formulated in oil in water emulsions form. Emulsions contains...

In the proposed experiments we extend previous work on characterization of aggregates formed by cationic conjugated polymers and oligomers in water. Particular emphasis will be...

Time-resolved SANS will be used to investigate the mechanisms and kinetics of ordering of aseries of novel designed tetrapeptide-based hydrogelators. These inexpensive materials...

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....

Zwitterionic lipids such as phosphatidylcholine (PC) are major components of the membranes that compartmentalize organisms. Although there is a large literature on PC, cationic...

Water-soluble conjugated polymers (WSCP) are an important class of materials which have received great attention as active materials in optoelectronic devices and in biosensing....

This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding how keratin, an important protein component of hair and skin, interacts with ionic surfactants using...

The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin B (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents that can circumvent the...

Gemini-like and oligomeric-like surfactants can be constructed by single-chain or gemini surfacants with connecting molecules through noncovalent binding without complicated...

We extend previous work on aggregates formed by cationic conjugated oligomers in water with surfactants and...
