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... -
Microscopic dynamics of water associated to phospholilipd/polysaccharide nano...
In recent years nano- and microparticles composed of polymeric or lipid material have been proposed as drug carriers. Their use allows the modification of the biopharmaceutic... -
Lattice dynamics of ice XVII filled with monatomic and diatomic gases
The discovery of metastable ice XVII, which has a porous structure, suitable to be filled with hydrogen and other gases, has prompted our group to measure on TOSCA neutron... -
Fundamentals of Nanotoxicity: The Role of Nanoparticles in Lowering the Energ...
Despite the increasing use of nanoparticles (NPs), our current knowledge of how NPs interact with the human body or the environment remains limited. Of a number of mechanisms, a... -
Adsorption of fatty acids at the calcite-liquid interface
The interface of CaCO3 (calcite) and water is of paramount importance in a number of key academic and industrial areas, including scale deposition in domestic and industrial... -
Extreme Synergistic mixing in Biosurfactant ionic surfactant mixtures
The biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce reliance on palm and crude oil derived materials, demand that Home and Personal Care industries develops... -
Magnetic Properties of Rare-Earth Carbonates
We have prepared a new family of rare-earth carbonates, R4(CO3)6(H2O)2en (R=Dy-Lu). With the exception of R=Er, all materials exhibit a steadily decreasing meff below 70K. The... -
Investigation of the single proton dynamics in light water and ice-Ih applyin...
Due to the partially covalent nature of water?s hydrogen bonding, electrons are not held by individual molecules but are easily distributed amongst water clusters. This gives... -
How do Surfactants Interact with Complex Monoclonal Antibodies at Oil/Water I...
Heavily bio-engineered monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are an increasingly important trend in the biopharmaceutical industry. However, these mAbs are often destabilised by the... -
Electrical Double Layer Structure at the Clay-Water Interface
The interface between an aqueous ionic solution and a charged surface is known as the electrical double layer (EDL). A detailed knowledge of the structure developed in this... -
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... -
Hydrogen Embrittlement in Metals Deposited from Deep Eutectic Solvents
We propose to study the composition of metallic films of Cr, Co & Ni using specular NR measurements during electrolytic growth in deep eutectic solvent media in order to... -
Tracking cementation in portland and geopolymer cements.
Two millenia after the Romans invented opus caementicium (cement), it is the most commonly used material worldwide. With annual production of >10 billion tonnes, Portland... -
Pressure dependence of the mean kinetic energy of water protons
In a recent experiment [RB810044] we have measured the mean kinetic energy in supercooled bulk water at three pressures values in the range 200-4000 bar in order to shed light... -
THE IMPACT OF HYDROGEN-BONDING CONTACTS ON THE PROPERTIES OF ALKYLAMMONIUM PR...
Ionic liquids are of interest to chemistry and material sciences because of their designer properties.The protic ionic liquids (PILs) are excellent proton carriers in fuel cell... -
Evidence for a Diffuse Interfacial Region at the Dichloroethane/Water Interface
The 1,2- dichloroethane (DCE)/water interface is important because of its suitability as an electrochemical interface between two immiscible electrolyte soloutions. An issue of... -
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... -
