The interfacial self-assembly between large (polymer) and small (peptide) molecules of opposite charge results in the formation of highly organized membranes. Furhter...

In the soil environment, organic matter such as humic acid has a strong influence on the behaviour of organic pollutants such as perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and their...

This proposal continues our investigations into polyelectrolyte-surfactant solutions which form films at the air-solution interface. We have found that solutions of mixed...

We have been focusing on two component gel networks. Here, both components can individually form gels. In a mixed system, the LMWG can either co-assemble or self-sort. In a...

We wish to gain a deeper understanding of where dopant cations and anions reside in hydroxyapatite (HA). We will substitute Sr, Si, 11B and S into the HA structure and determine...

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a natural compound (Ca10 (PO4)6(OH) 2) found in human bone and clinical research has shown that HA coated orthopaedic implants improve the ingrowth and...
