Competetive adsorption at the oil-water interface protein-surfactant mixtures.
Hydrophobins, hfb2, are secreted fungal proteins, which are strongly surface active and possess powerful emulsion and foam stabilising properties. Understanding their... -
Effect of polar solvent on the formation of reverse phospholipid microemulsions
It is the aim of the proposal is to perform small angle neutron scattering (SANS) studies combined with contrast variation to determine the size and structure of the... -
NR study of binding of short antimicrobial alpha-helix peptides with model li...
In this work we explore how our rationally designed peptide amphiphiles bind onto lipid monolayers using neutron reflection combined with deuterium labelling to the lipids,... -
Effect of surfactant head group on micelle structure of drug containing micelles
The aim of the current project is to probe (at the nanometer length scale) the relationship between the solution structures of a surfactant molecule, the aggregate(s) it forms... -
Hydrophobin-Tween adsorption at solid surfaces
Increased environmental pressures and awareness is promoting a major drive towards an increased use of biosurfactants to produce more biosustainable and biodegradable consumer... -
NR study of surface adsorption of antibodies with and without non-ionic surfa...
Nonionic surfactants usually do not show affinity to proteins and they work via competitive surface and interfacial processes in abinary mixture. However, we show in this work... -
