Encapsulation in Mixed Cat-anionic Surfactant Polymer Films
This proposal continues our investigations into polyelectrolyte-surfactant films at the air-solution interface. Using mixtures of cationic and anionic surfactants (CTAB/SDS) we... -
Micelle curvature effects on polyelectrolyte-surfactant film structures
This proposal continues our investigations into polyelectrolyte-surfactant thin films which form at the air-solution interface. Our previous work investigated structure... -
Solubilisation of Drug Molecules in Nonionic Surfactant Micelles: Structural ...
This proposal aims to understand how the structure of non-ionic surfactant micelles affects the amount of fungicides solubilised. SANS is a technique unique for unravelling the... -
Structure of Colloidal Titania Particles in Water vs Organic Solvent
Dye sensitised solar cells, based around colloids of the wide bandgap semiconductor TiO2 with bound dyes have potential to provide a cheap,sustainable source of solar energy... -

Polymer-surfactant films containing glucose sensors and structure directing p...
This proposal continues our research on mesostructured surfactant templated polymer films. The films are robust and form spontaneously at the air-water interface. Recent... -
Kinetic Study of the Mechanistic Complexation Process Between DNA and Cationi...
We propose to use the new SANS2d to study the dynamic structural evolution in the couse of the formation of DNA-cationic polymer complexes. The dynamic process and the mixing... -
Mesostructured titania films from ethanolic solutions
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... -
Encapsulation of hydrophobic species in mixed micelles in polymer solutions
This proposal continues our investigations into film-forming polyelectrolyte-surfactant solutions. We have found that mixed micelle systems offer greater control over micelle...
