Structural development in Whey protein polymer composite solutions for electr...
This is part of an on-going investigation into nano/micro scale sized polymer fibres at the University of Reading, prepared through the process of electrospinning. Currently we... -
Solution aggregation of lipopeptides: SANS structure determination
Lipopeptide surfactants are highly effective at reducing interfacial tension. However, there is a general lack of understanding of the relationship between their molecular... -
FRET-based Conjugated Polymer Macromolecular Switch for Bio-Anion Recognition
We intend to study the aggregation behaviour of the all-conjugated block catiocopolyelectrolyte PF2/6-P3MAHT in the presence of the biomacroanion guanosine triphosphate (GTP) in... -
Effect of serum on the structure of gene delivery vehicles
To date complexes prepared from vesicles composed of dichain, cationic lipids (L) with negatively charged DNA (D), known as LD complexes have emerged as one of the major... -
Solution aggregation of short peptide amphiphiles
Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly to lead to interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation.... -
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... -
Modulating Tetronics self-assembly with cyclodextrins for drug delivery appli...
Amphiphilic linear surfactants based on PEO and PPO triblock copolymers, known as Pluronics, exhibit a rich polymorphism and have been extensively studied for their applications...
