A short peptide, composed of 12 amino acids (EFVFVAHAVPVM), presenting a strongly hydrophobic character, was recently isolated from Lactobacillus gasseri supernatant (AMP12).... -
Determination of the Interfacial Structure of Lubricating Bottle-Brush Polyme...
Lubrication of surfaces by modification with polymer films has proven an efficient method of frictional reduction. Bio-inspired bottle-brush copolymers containing a linear block... -
Non-lamellar lipid-based liquid crystalline structures at interfaces - effect...
To understand better the properties of non-lamellar liquid crystalline nanoparticles, LCNP, as delivery vehicles or surface modifying systems, it is crucial to understand how... -
Interface of heavy metal layer on a ferromagnetic insulator by PNR
In the spin Seebeck effect (SSE), a temperature gradient generates a pure spin current in a ferromagnet. The magnetic insulator yttrium iron garnet Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) covered with a... -
Oxidation of bilayer of DPPC on a mineral interface by aqueous OH radical ki...
Oxidation of atmospheric aerosol can produce cloud condensation nuclei capable of changing the reflectivity and lifetime of clouds. The oxidation of organic film on atmospheric... -
Interfacial adsorption of monoclonal antibodies and antigen binding
Antibody-antigen binding has been extensively used in many technological applications such as immunoassays, chemical analysis and bionanotechnology. The crucial element... -

Heterogeneous protein exchange at the solid/liquid interface using deuterated...
The formation of protein layers on surfaces is important for medical implants and for the consequences of the ingestion of nanoparticles. In the body, a surface is exposed to a... -
Encapsulation in Mixed Cat-anionic Surfactant Polymer Films
This proposal continues our investigations into polyelectrolyte-surfactant films at the air-solution interface. Using mixtures of cationic and anionic surfactants (CTAB/SDS) we... -
Membrane-stacking Properties of Mutant Myelin Proteins
Myelin is the multilamellar structure that ensheaths axons and accelerates nervous impulses in the nervous system. The fine structure of myelin remains to be further... -
Polymer-surfactant films containing glucose sensors
This proposal continues our research on mesostructured surfactant templated polymer films that form spontaneously at the air-water interface. Our recent research has shown it is... -
Non-Fullerene Based Acceptors for Organic Solar Cells
Organic Solar Cells (OSCs) have attracted substantial commercial and scientific interest as they provide a pathway to realizing a renewable energy source that is portable... -
An off-specular neutron scattering study of the 'peristaltic mode' in the dew...
We plan to use the OFFSPEC SPIN-Echo reflectometer to study the mechanism of the 'peristaltic mode' in the spinodal dewetting of thin polymer films. In the peristaltic mode the... -
Binding Particles with Proteins at Interfaces
Understanding and controlling the interaction of nanoparticles with biomaterials is key to alleviation of concerns about nanotoxicity. This knowledge can also be used to design... -
Temperature Effects and Kinetics of Thiolipid Adsorption to Gold Surfaces
We have a programme investigating the structure and function of protein scaffolds oriented on gold surfaces using sulfur chemistry for attachment. The aim is to direct the... -
Molecular Weight and Incipient Crystallinity Effects on Polymer Surface Segre...
We have established multi-end functional polymers as potent additives for spontaneous surface modification of blends. Since semi-crystalline polymers such as PE, PP, PET could... -
Interactions of native vs. modified protamines with Gram-negative model biome...
Protamines are cationic antimicrobial peptides found commonly in the sperm cells of fish such as herring and salmon that are particularly active against food-borne Gram-negative... -
Stduying the Proximity effect in Co/CuMn Multilayers
A direct measurement of the spin accumulation in a magnetic nanostructure is a key requirement to the theoretical and ultimately technological exploitation of picosecond... -
Confinement and Liquid Crystal Films
Liquid crystals (LCs) are known to act as good lubricants, however, the reason for this remains unclear. One contributing factor is thought to be the formation of ordered layers... -
The interpenetration of two poly(ethylene oxide) polymer brushes under confin...
Coating two surfaces with polymer brushes has been shown on many occasions to reduce friction by orders of magnitude. These ultra-low frictions are believed to stem from be the...
