Supported ionic liquid phases (SILPs) - ionic liquid (IL) films deposited on a high-surface-area support - are a proven strategy for catalysis, but little is known about...

Our sample of fully oxygenated and de-twinned YBCO has previously given the first measurements of the intrinsic vortex lattice in this material, up to fields of 11 T. We have...

Contrast variation SANS will be used to study structures of reversed micelles in cyclohexane, and in particular to reveal effects of hydrotrope addition for promotion and growth...

In cells, the genome needs to be tightly packaged in the nucleus as "chromatin" while still allowing access to the cellular machinery responsible for gene expression. The first...

Internally supported liposomes (ISLs) are composed of polymeric spheres enclosed by liposomes. Although very little research has been done on ISLs, understanding their...

Liquid pharmaceutical formulations are commonly comprised of proteins and surfactants, which interact in solution in order to provide an increase in system stability. Although...

Conjugation of therapeutic proteins to polymers is well established but most methods result in multi-site and multiple conjugation or crosslinking resulting in lack of...

Grazing incidence small angle neutron scattering (GISANS) will be used to investigate the lateral phase behavior in thin films of blends of electron-donor...

Gradient and block copoly(2-oxazoline)s have been prepared comprising a partially deuterated hydrophilic poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) part and a hydrogenated...

The project is to understand fundamental structure-performance relationships of chemical demulsifiers in water-in-crude oil (w/o) systems. In particular, to understand how...

Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are considered promising green solvents for future industrial formulations due to their biocompatibility, low cost, green production, and...

The generation of hydrogen from water using light could be a method of providing a clean fuel, which is clearly important for our growing energy needs. We are using perylene...

Polymer stabilized lipid nanodiscs offer enormous potential as tools for enabling membrane protein structural studies & biophysics. Polymer stabilized lipid bilayer discs...

The very heterogeneous, but non-random, arrangement of lipids and proteins in cell membranes are of major scientific interest and led Simons and Ikonen to propose that ¿rafts,¿...

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is an anionic surfactant, extensively employed in cosmetics and personal care, as well as in pharmaceuticals and food products. Surfactants are...

Hydrophobins, hfb2, are secreted fungal proteins, which are strongly surface active and possess powerful emulsion and foam stabilising properties. Understanding their...

Polymer stabilized lipid nanodiscs offer enormous potential as tools for enabling membrane protein structural studies & biophysics. Polymer stabilized lipid bilayer discs...

Surfactants represent an important class of compounds owing to their ability to readily locate at interfaces, be it air–liquid, liquid–liquid or solid–liquid. As such,...

One dimensional (1D) magnetic nanostructures exhibit anisotropic magnetic properties and thereby differ from unstructured materials. However, magnetic chains are energetically...

The organisation of molecules in liquid crystal phases relies on many factors, often related to space-filling considerations driven by the volume of different molecular...
