Study of the interfacial self-assembly of peptide/polymer membranes by neutro...
The interfacial self-assembly between large (polymer) and small (peptide) molecules of opposite charge results in the formation of highly organized membranes. Furhter... -
Characterising the corrosion/inhibition mechanisms of iron in different envir...
Offshore structures such as wind turbines and oil rigs generally comprise steel structuresessentially ferritic ironand are extremely prone to corrosion, a problem that causes... -
Ion Layering at the Graphene Electrode Surface for Supercapacitors
This proposal aims to combine the approaches of several successful recent neutron reflection studies by our group to directly measure ion layering at electrode surfaces. In this... -
Structural changes in electron transfer proteins used in biophotovoltaic cell...
This proposal seeks to gain an understanding of the adsorption and desorption behaviour of a redox membrane protein, cytochrome c, in electrochemical cells using different anode... -
Structural Studies of Mixed Monolayers of Sulfobetaines with Phospholipids
Sulfobetaines are zwitterionic surfactants where the headgroup charges are arranged in the opposite manner to those found in phosphotidylcholine lipid headgroups. Sulfobetaines... -
Ca-ions at PS-containing biomimetic lipid layers: Interfacial water
Lipid membranes provide a sensitive platform for a variety of biological functions, and membrane lipid distributions are carefully regulated. In this project we plan to study...
