Solventless protein liquids: a novel form of biological matter
Solventless protein liquids (SPLS) represent a novel form of biological matter. Recently we reported on the preparation and properties of a solvent-free liquid protein based on... -
Compartmentalised Supramolecular Structures through CB[8]-mediated Hierarchic...
We have recently developed a method to prepare a wide variety of amphiphilic diblock copolymers through a supramolecular linkage that is stable in water. This has been achieved... -
Chain anisotropy in nanofibre production
Fibres with submicron diameters are commonly formed by two techniques, electrospinning , and centrifugal force spinning; in both cases polymer solutions are subjected to forces,... -
The role of chirality on polymeric membrane lytic activity
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.... -
Centrifugal Force Spun Fibres
Centrifugal force spinning is a technique that has recently come into light as an easy route to producing large quantities of nano- to micro- scale polymer fibres in a short... -
Reversible folding-unfolding and structural study in protein-ionic liquid sys...
It has been recently shown that reversible thermal folding-unfolding, stabilization and high solubility of proteins (e.g. lysozyme) can be achieved when dissolved in protic... -
Formation of cellulose-starch gels: effect of cellulose source and surfactants
This proposal forms part of an ongoing project concerning interpenetrating network gels of starch and cellulose being developed towards applications in personal care and...
