The microscopic dynamics of associative polymers that self-assemble into micellar structures play a key role for their macroscopical properties, with important implications for...

Combination of ionic copolymer micelles with oppositely charged polyelectrolytes leads to the formation of interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPECs). The aggregate has an onion-...

We plan to carry out SANS experiments on a bacterial colonization factor to elucidate how it interacts with chitin, which is found on the surface of plankton and crustaceans....

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...

The behaviour of multiple polymers in competition for colloidal silica has previously been investigated in our group using solvent relaxation nuclear magnetic resonance. We...

The aim of our work is to study structural properties of supra-molecular assemblies formed in aqueous solutions of cationic pH- and thermo-sensitive block-gradient copolymers...

In collaboration with Infineum (a world-leading engine-oil additive company), we propose a SANS study of self-assembly of novel polymethacrylate (PMA) block copolymers as a...

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