impact of mutlivalent counterions on surfactant adsorption
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 /... -
Structural studies on drugs and lipids in amphiphilic solutions
How drugs cross the formidable blood brain barrier in order to function is not well understood, specifically with respect to the interplay between hydrophobic and hydrophilic... -
Ordering of water molecules in water/amino acid mixtures
The obvious role played by water dynamics in the biological movements and reactions has stimulated huge experimental efforts during last years. However, biological materials are... -
Caffeine and the issue of hydrophobic hydration
Caffeine is a prototypical example of a planar, heteroatomic bicyclic, aromatic ring compound that, although somewhat polar, exhibits limited aqueous solubility and is... -
Drug solvation in amphiphilic solutions: understanding how small molecules cr...
Understanding how drugs interact with physiologically relevant environments is crucial for the future of effective drug design. An important class of potential drugs are central... -
Towards Understanding Lignin Solubility in Protic Ionic Liquids
A current key road block to the economic viability of a biorefinery is the inability to cost effectively separate biomass into lignin and cellulose. It has recently been... -
Nanostructure of a Three-Component Deep Eutectic Solvent
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are liquids formed from a mixture of salts and molecular species. DESs have remarkable solvent properties and are potentially "greener"... -
Role of DMSO in affecting the structure of ethylammonium nitrate, a protic io...
Ethylammonium nitrate is one of the simplest protic ionic liquids (PILs). Similarly to water, it acts both as a H-bonding acceptor and donor, although, due to its chemical... -
Surface activity of antibacterial agents
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...
