Soft self-assembled structures have been extensively used as drug nanocarriers. Their building blocks, naturally occurring and synthetic amphiphiles (lipids or block...

Polymers with specific functional groups on their main chains or side chains can interact with each other either in solution or in bulk, forming interpolymer complexes, for...

Supramolecular gels form via the self-assembly of low molecular weight gelators (LMWGs) into complex, hierarchical structures. Here we propose a SANS study of our multicomponent...

Poly(vinyl alcohol) is a biocompatible water-soluble polymer of great interest thanks to its large-scale applications for production of drug-delivery systems, sensors or...

Lipopolysaccharides are amphiphilic macromolecules indispensable for the growth and the survival of Gram-negative bacteria, one of the most diffuse classes of pathogenic...

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are mixtures of organic salts and hydrogen bond donors, that form strongly hydrogen-bonded room temperature ionic liquids (ILs). DES share many...

Janus particles, bearing two distinct compositions on the surface of the same particle, have attracted much attention recently as a way to finely tune morphology and...

Incorporation of d- or f-block metals into ligand systems that renders a metal complex surface active or drives its partitioning into surfactant phases enables the localisation...

This project concerns fundamental and strategically important research underlying the development of new drug delivery vehicles. We propose to sample phase diagram of...

This proposal forms part of an ongoing project concerning interpenetrating network gels of starch and cellulose being developed towards applications in personal care and...

This proposal is part of a research programme which is focused on nano-fibres prepared by electrospinning. The programme is centered on developing an understanding of the...
