Pairs of intra-specific plant genotypes (rice or wheat) were grown together and inoculated with various foliar fungal pathogens. Disease levels were measured in focal plants....

Although microemulsions have been widely investigated as potential drug delivery vehicles, relatively little work has been performed establishing the detailed molecular...

Protic ionic liquids (PILs) are an interesting sub-class of room temperature ionic liquids. They differ from conventional, a protic ionic liquids, because of the major role...

We seek to investigate the non-equilibrium phenomena of a model polymer mixture by time-solved SANS and temperature jump experiments within (a) one-phase region and (b) one to...

Compared with gas phase reactions, liquid phase catalytic processes are complex due to the effect of the solvent. The solvent controls many aspects of the overall reaction...

The proposal seeks to investigate the structure and hydration of the nootropic drug piracetam in aqueous solutions by neutron scattering on the SANDALS instrument, with...

Building on our preliminary neutron transmission results from the CRISP instrument (see below), we propose to undertake a detailed study of critical fluctuations in 3He near its...

Ionic liquids (ILs) are low melting point organic salts that until recently were thought to have homogeneous microstructure. In recent SANDALS research,1 we showed pure ILs are...

Hydrophobins, hfb2, are secreted fungal proteins, which are strongly surface active and possess powerful emulsion and foam stabilising properties. Understanding their...

This proposal is about the development of sustainable detergency based formulations, based on the blending of biosurfactants and conventional surfactants, and is part of a CASE...

Hydrophobins, hfb2, are secreted fungal proteins in the form of a small lipopeptide. They are strongly surface active and self-assemble in solution and at interfaces. They have...

The aggregation of the Amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide is implicated in the progression of Alzheimer's disease, the treatment of which is a major current global healthcare...

This proposal is part of a broad programme of collaborative research between RAL / Oxford and Unilever, using predominantly scattering techniques to investigate the nature of...

Phase behaviour studies have identified hydrogen bonding as a key aspect in polymer solubility in fluorinated liquids, both in terms of solute-solvent and solute-solute...

Mixtures of methanol with water and ammonia dominate the chemistry of cometary bodies, leftovers of the building blocks of the outer planets. We have previously determined the...

Polymer-surfactant mixtures are extensively used in a wide range of domestic, industrial and technological applications. This proposal is part of a collaboration between Oxford...

Increased environmental pressures and awareness is promoting a major drive towards an increased use of biosurfactants to produce more biosustainable and biodegradable consumer...

This is a new programme of work and a collaboration between CCLRC, Oxford, Unilever and Manchester. It is concerned with polymer aided deposition to solid substrates, using...

This proposal is part of a collaboration between Oxford and Ulster Universities and Unilever, on the development of sustainable laundry detergents, using a blend of conventional...

Hydrophobins are secreted fungal proteins and are small lipopeptide biosurfactants. They are strongly surface active and self-assemble at interfaces. Their unique film forming...
