The nonionic polysorbate (Tween) surfactants are an important class of food grade surfactants. They are extensively use in emulsion and foam stabilisation, and are increasingly...

Biosurfactants are becoming more commonplace in pharmaceuticals, vaccines and other forms of medicines. With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce...

The proteins of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria are critical for bacterial survival, from providing basic physiological functions, to impairing virulence and...

Polymer stabilized lipid nanodiscs offer enormous potential as tools for enabling membrane protein structural studies & biophysics. Polymer stabilized lipid bilayer discs...

This proposal aims to understand how the structure of non-ionic surfactant micelles affects the amount of fungicides solubilised. SANS is a technique unique for unravelling the...

The Mayes' group at UEA is world-leading in investigating core-shell nanoparticles as a promising format for 'synthetic antibodies', based on molecular imprinting. One of the...

Protein adsorption is a process relevant in many research fields such as biology, medicine and food processing. Its mechanism is influenced by many parameters. Our group has...

The human body has a well developed membrane chemistry which allows transport of fluids and salts whilst preventing other molecules and harmful agents from penetrating the cell....

Approved proposal under the ICRD Scheme Proposal ICRD0005

Gastric mucus is a vital component for the protection of the stomach from the highly acidic gastric secretions, preventing autodigestion and providing mechanical protection....

Block copolymers are of interest due to their ability to undergo microphase separation. Originally block copolymers were produced with a low polydispersity index (PDI) as they...
