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... -
Understanding the true biological function of Plant Non Specific Lipid Transf...
Non specific lipid transfer proteins are a family of basic, cysteine rich proteins found in a wide range of plant species. The biotechnological role of these proteins in beer... -
Structure formation in catanionic surfactant/polymer templated inorganic film...
Recently we have been investigating the mineralization of polymer-surfactant films to create thicker and more robust self-supporting membranes. Our previous experiments used the... -
Interfacial adsorption of monoclonal antibody and antigen binding
Antibody-antigen binding has been extensively used in many technological applications such as immunoassays, chemical analysis and bionanotechnology. The crucial element... -
Proton dynamics of water approaching the supercooled phase
In a recent DINS experiment (RB520101) we have possibly evidenced a new anomaly of supercooled water. Data at T = 269 and 271 K show clear differences in the proton neutron... -
Magnetic excitation spectrum of the Helimagnetic Spinel compound ZnCr2Se4
ZnCr2Se4 is a magnetically frustrated spinel compound with an incommensurate ground state. At low temperatures it displays a spin spiral structure propagating along the (100)...
