Self-assembly of GFP-HMPA protein polymer conjugates: Effect of polymer hydro...
Conjugation of therapeutic proteins to polymers is well established but most methods result in multi-site and multiple conjugation, crosslinking resulting in lack of orientation... -
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... -
New surfactants forming anisotropic micelles and microemulsions in CO2
An analogue of the popular surfactant AOT with isopropyl glycol tails (IG-AOT, Figure.1) has been recently designed as a co-surfactant for water-in-CO2 (w/c) systems: stable... -
SANS study of engine oil gelation
Metal carbonate particles dispersed in dodecane and stabilised with alkyl salicylate surfactants have been shown to aggregate when trace water is added. We have found that... -
A melanin-inspired pro-oxidant system for dopa(mine) polymerization: implicat...
Melanins are the major determinants of pigmentation of skin, hair and eyes in humans. These pigments originate from the tyrosinase-catalyzed oxidation of tyrosine, leading to... -
Conformational behaviour of amphiphilic polymethacrylate-poly(acrylic acid) c...
We intend to use small angle neutron scattering to investigate the conformational behaviour of a range of amphiphilic copolymers comprising a hydrophobic methacrylate segment... -
Study of self-organization of cationic pH- and thermo responsive copolymers w...
The aim of our work is to study structural properties of supra-molecular assemblies formed in aqueous solutions of cationic pH- and thermo-sensitive block-gradient copolymers... -
Fire-fighting surfactants: aggregation and micellar composition
The aim is to probe micellar structures of three common industrial fluorotelomer surfactants used in fire-fighting foam formulations (Figure 1) using contrast variation SANS.... -
