Charged surfactant adsorption and detergency upon reconstituted plant cuticul...
A number of studies have determined that non-ionic surfactants are capable of altering diffusionrates and transportation of both water and active ingredients thorough the waxy... -
Structure of Zwitterionic Surfactants of Varying Headgroup: Interaction with ...
Zwitterionics (here, alkyldimethylammonium carboxybetaines) are widely used in applications which require "mildness", e g cosmetics and isolation of membrane proteins, although... -
Membrane interactions of a viral scission protein
Influenza virus is a pathogen of great medical importance that causes seasonal epidemics and sporadic pandemics. Among the least understood events of the influenza virus... -
Probing lateral solvent and ion distributions in patterned pH swellable gels ...
Patterned, swellable hydrogels are finding increasing applications as sensing, optical focussing and actuation elements in Lab-on-a-chip structures because of their property... -
Ozonation of organic films at the air-water interface of atmospheric aerosol
The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by atmospheric aerosols. Organic surfactant films on these aerosols influences their size, optical properties and ability to act as... -
Magnetic proximity effect and in-plane correlations in amorphous CoAlZr/FeZr ...
The purpose of this project work is to establish a broader understanding of the magnetic proximity effect observed in a magnetic amorphous multilayer. This will be achieved by... -
Polymer-surfactant films modified with alkylmethacrylates for structure reten...
We have previously observed formation of polymer-surfactant films at the air-water interface having a range of structures including 2D hexagonal, bicontinuous cubic and lamellar... -
The interaction of cytochrome c with floating bilayers containing negatively ...
As research on apoptosis has gained momentum, the importance of membrane lipids in this crucial cellular process is becoming clear.Previously, we have determined using NR and... -
Surface adsorption of lipopeptides: interfacial layer structure
Lipopeptide surfactants are highly effective at reducing interfacial tension. However, there is a general lack of understanding of the relationship between their molecular... -
Has residual solvent an impact on the dynamics of PMMA ultra thin films?
Polymeric films thinner than a 100 nm exhibits a variation of the glass transition temperature of a few tens of degrees and can brake up into discrete islands when heated near... -
Magnetism of epitaxial Co/CoO nanostructures in the presence of uniaxial anis...
The physics behind the evolution of exchange bias in systems with uniaxial magnetic anisotropy is of high scientific and technological importance. We show unexpected behaviour... -
Study of non collinear magnetic states in GdCo/Si/Co/Si multilayers
We propose to study polarised neutron reflectivity from a GdCo/Si/Co/Si multilayers. Magnetic rare earth/transition metal (RE/TM) multilayers have been subject of considerable... -
Phase separation and dewetting of dPS/PVME thin films by specular and off-spe...
We will perform time resolved TOF-reflectivity measurements on deuterated polystyrene (PS) and poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) thin blend films, which has a LCST type phase... -
A neutron reflectometry study of the interaction of octanohydroxamate with iron
The interaction of alkyl hydroxamate with iron is of interest in mineral flotation science, corrosion control and also as a model for microbial siderophore chemistry. Long chain... -
Structural studies of thermal responsive nanogels at the oil-water interface
It has been shown that gel particles are able to stabilize the oil-water interface and forming emulsions ( the so called "Pickering emulsions"). It has also been shown that... -
Surface segregation and topographical excitation in stoichiometric polymer:fu...
We propose to study the kinetics and thermodynamics of polymer:fullerene composite association to provide insight into engineering increased efficiency organic photovoltaics....
