This proposal is aimed at understanding the surface activity of the antibacterial agent, Triclosan, in the presence of surfactants. We request NR beam time on SURF to...

Acyl L-Carnitines are a group of novel surfactants with attractive physical and biological properties associated with their head group charge features. This work proposes to use...

The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at interfaces from surfactant self-assembly is now emerging as an important structural signature associated with a wide range...

We propose to use neutron reflection to study the interfacial adsorption of 2 novel bispecific therapeutic antibodies at the silicon oxide/water interface. To enpower each of...

We request NR beam time on SURF to study the impact of multivalent counterions on the surface adsorption of alkyloxyethylene sulfate surfactants and alkyloxyethylene sulphate /...

Surfactants responsive to pH, temperature, CO2, and light are known, however, our recent work has shown, for the first time surfactants that are magneto-responsive, and also...

This proposal is part of a funded (CASE) project, aimed at understanding the delivery of benefit actives (perfumes) to interfaces and the development of new self-assembled...

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...

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...

Studying surfactant and mixed surfactant adsorption on model solid surfaces, which mimic real surfaces such as fabrics, hair and skin, is starting to provide a real insight into...

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...

Purothionins are a family of cationic cystiene rich plant defence proteins which have been shown to have a wide spectrum of activity due their ability to permeate cellular...

This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the adsorption of keratins and their interactions with ionic surfactants at the solid/water interface....

The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at surfaces and interfaces from self-assembly in mixed surfactant and in polymer / surfactant mixtures are being increasingly...

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

Recently there has been a vast expansion in understanding about the interactions between oppositely charged polyelectrolyte/surfactant mixtures. The use of neutron reflectometry...

Hydrophobins are secreted fungal proteins in the form of small lipopetide biosurfactants. They are strongly surface active and self assemble at interfaces and in solution. This...

Polyions and biogenic polyamine are ubiquitous in many important biochemical functions. We propose here to use neutron reflectivity to investigate their potential to induce and...
