Molecular Mechanistic Processes of Complexation between DNA and Cationic Copo...
It is difficult for the naked external gene to become internalized due to its similar charge to the extracellular membrane surface. Various cationic copolymers and cationic... -
Nanostructure definition in electrospun fibres of polymer blends
This proposal is part of a research programme which is focused on nano-fibres prepared by electrospinning. The programme is centered on the spinning... -
interaction of a pharmaceutical water-soluble polymer with bio-relevant surfa...
We have been developing hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) microspheres for delivering poorly water-soluble drugs. The in vitro dissolution data showed that the presence of... -
SANS study of the structure of surfactant stabilised Pt and Ru nanoparticles
Surfactants have been used to bind and disperse Pt and Ru nanoparticles during their synthesis. In this work, we propose to use SANS to determine the thickness and packing... -
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... -
Investigation of zwitterionic surfactant, Ca2+ and bio-polymer interactions
We are currently investigating the formation and structure of surfactant-templated polymer films comprised of cat-anionic surfactant mixtures and a variety of polymers. As we... -
Phase diagram of LAS molecule: SANS investigation into surfactant and lipid m...
This proposal would like SANS time to better understand the LAS phase diagram. This has been prompted by recent experiments which show the system is not fully understood under... -
Structure of aggregation of peptide surfactants: effect of the size of amino ...
Peptide surfactants are a group of interesting biomimetic amphiphiles capable of forming a range of nanostructures. The aim of this work is to use SANS to determine the...
