pH Responsive Polymer Blend Surfaces
Polymers, end-functionalised with carboxylic acid (COOH) groups do not normally segregate to film surfaces due to the high surface energy of these functionalities. However, we... -
Part B: Binding behaviour of PAMAMs G5 and G4.5 to zwitterionic and anionic l...
Polymers are commonly used in drug delivery to create dosage forms that enable delivery of the active ingredient to the site of action within the body. Towards controlled drug... -
Competetive adsorption in hydrophobin / protein mixtures at the air-solution ...
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... -
Adsorption of an Anionic Surfactant on Anionic Surfaces in the Presence of Ca...
In this proposal we request beamtime on the Inter reflectometer to study the unexpected adsorption behaviour of the surfactant bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate caesium salt... -
Binding behaviour of PAMAMs G5 and G4.5 to zwitterionic and anionic lipid bil...
Polymers are commonly used in drug delivery to create dosage forms that enable delivery of the active ingredient to the site of action within the body. Towards controlled drug... -
pH-control of swelling and charge neutralization of thin hydrogel films
Hydrogels are widely used in biomaterials science, much due to excellent protein resistance, and physicochemical properties similar to biological tissue. Charge neutrality is... -
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... -

Surface activity of biosurfactant (sophorolipid) / surfactant mixtures
Understanding the fundamental aspects of the surface adsorption and self-assembly of biosurfactant and biosurfactant / conventional surfactant mixtures is a major challenge for... -
Iron Oxide Nanoparticle Interactions with Lipid Bilayers in a Magnetic Field
Iron oxide nanoparticles are one of the first nanomaterials to be approved for use in the body. However, research into particle binding and incorporation to, as well as... -
Surface adsorption in multi-component biosurfactant-surfactant mixtures
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... -
Switchable adhesion between oppositely charged polyelectrolytes: dependence o...
Tuning the interactions between different surfaces has technological benefits in areas such as adhesion, compatibilisation and nano-actuators. We shall study the interaction... -
NR Investigation of Structural Basis Underlying Synergistic Binding of Lipope...
In this part of the proposed work, we wish to explore how antibiotics and antimicrobial peptides interact with model lipid bilayers in the form of a supported lipid bilayer,... -
Adsorption of Organic Phosphate onto Silicon
This proposal presents to directly measure ¿bridging¿ of anionic surfactants on an anionic surface through multivalent ions from water under well-controlled conditions (pHs and... -
Surface adsorption in hydrophobin and hydrophobin / surfactant mixtures
Hydrophobins are secreted fungal proteins and are small lipopeptide biosurfactants. They are strongly surface active and self-assemble at interfaces. Their unique film forming... -
Self-assembly of beta-casein and beta-casein / hydrophobin mixtures
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...
