Co-surfactancy of oil-soluble and water-soluble surfactants at the oil-water ...
A technique we have recently developed enables us to simply produce stable, homogenous and thin oil layers, using polymer surfactants, in a simple manner on water. These are... -
Competetive adsorption at the oil-water interface protein-surfactant mixtures.
Hydrophobins, hfb2, are secreted fungal proteins, which are strongly surface active and possess powerful emulsion and foam stabilising properties. Understanding their... -
Partial structural study at the oil-water interface
In our previous experiment we determined a value for the interfacial width of bare hexadecane-water interface. The NR-determined width was 6.0 ± 1.0 Å, which compares well with... -
Adsorption of of hydrophobin and hydrophobin / surfactant mixtures at the oil...
Hydrophobins are secreted fungal proteins and are small lipopeptide biosurfactants. They are strongly surface active and self-assemble at interface, and these unique film... -
The hydrophobic interaction A peptides and a lipid monolayer at the o...
This proposal relates to the study on the fundamental level, the hydrophobic interaction A peptides and a lipid monolayer at the oil-water interface. NR will be used to... -
Effect of alkyl chain length on the adsorption of n-alkyl phosphocholine surf...
This proposal relates to the study of adsorption of n-dodecyl phosphocholine (C12PC) at the oil-water interface. The thickness of the adsorbed monolayers measured for dC12hPC... -
Polymer-surfactant adsorption at the oil-water interface
Polymer-surfactant stabilised emulsion droplets are a potentially exciting route for micro-encapsulation of volatile agents (such as perfumes, flavours and many other benefit... -
Macrocyclic ligands at the oil-water interface
Azacrown ethers and a mixture of azacrown ethers and fatty acids have been studied at the oil-water interface using surface-pressure isotherms and other classical surface... -
Structural studies of protein at the oil-water interface
We would like to measure the adsorption isotherm for protein, milk B-casein using neutron reflectometery at the oil-water interface. These measurements will be carried out for...
