We have developed a new and benign method for the production of cellulose based aerogels, highly porous materials with applications in insulation, drug delivery, gas storage,...

We have previously observed formation of polymer-surfactant films at the air-water interface having a range of structures including 2D hexagonal, bicontinuous cubic and lamellar...

This proposal continues our research on ion binding to surfactant micelles. Our recent work demonstrates that the details of water structure around micelles are now accessible...

This proposal continues our work into surfactant templated films formed from surfactant/polyelectrolyte solutions. Recently we have been studying the encapsulation of...

Surfactant templated silicates are formed by the polymerization of silica around surfactant micelles in solution. Our previous SANS experiments show development of the initial...

This proposal continues our investigations into film-forming polyelectrolyte-surfactant solutions. We have found that mixed micelle systems offer greater control over micelle...

Nanostructured lipid aggregates offer enormous potential as tools for membrane structural biology and biophysics. Styrene-Maleic Acid Lipid Particles have a number of attractive...

Nearly 40% of new chemical entries are poorly water-soluble. Drug encapsulation into water-soluble polymers is an active research area owing to the ability of improving drug...

We have been studying the formation of solid polymer-surfactant films at the air-solution interface formed from cationic surfactants with PEI. We wish to use the highly...

We are currently investigating the formation and structure of surfactant-templated polymer films comprised of cat-anionic surfactant mixtures and a variety of polymers. As we...

The L3 (sponge) surfactant phase is a promising template for inorganic materials since it is composed of large, uniform water-filled pores separated by a surfactant bilayer. If...

In this proposal we wish to continue our current work on mesostructured inorganic films in largely ethanolic solutions, containing limited amounts of water. Transition metal...

Cell-nanoparticle interactions are complex, involving several specific and non-specific intermolecular forces between a wide range of particulate and molecular species . There...

We have been studying the solution interactions leading to formation of solid polymer-surfactant films at the air-solution interface. We want to use the mesostructures in the...

This proposal continues our research on mesostructured surfactant templated polymer films. The films are robust and form spontaneously at the air-water interface. Recent...

Dr Edler¿s group has recently been studying the interactions between polymers and surfactant micelles in solution in order to understand how this drives film formation at the...

Nanostructured lipid aggregates offer enormous potential as tools for membrane structural biology and biophysics. Poly(Styrene-Maleic Acid) stabilized lipid nanodiscs have a...

We have been studying the solution interactions leading to formation of solid polymer-surfactant films at the air-solution interface. We wish to use the mesostructures in the...

We have found it possible to deposit mesostructured surfactant templated polymer thin films on solid substrates. To date the majority of work has used hexadecyltrimethylammonium...

We have been studying the formation of solid polymer-surfactant films at the air-solution interface formed from cationic surfactants with PEI. We wish to use the micelles...
