manipulating surface adsorption usinf ethoxylated polyelectrolytes
The strong interaction between polyelectrolytes and ionic surfactants can result in pronounced surface adsorption and the formation of surface multilayer structures. This... -
Structural studies of protein at the oil-water interface
We would like to measure the adsorption isotherm for protein, milk B-casein using neutron reflectometery at the oil-water interface. These measurements will be carried out for... -
Insertion of antimicrobial peptides into phospholipid monolayers at air/liqui...
We have designed a series of cationic peptides with different helix repeats that can kill bacteria but remain benign to mammalian host cells. The selectivity to cell types is... -
Adsorption of tetraalkylammonium (R4N+) counterions into monolayers of surfac...
This proposal is to explore adsorption of tetraalkylammonium (R4N+) counterions into monolayers of surfactant anions (see Figure 1) at the air-water interface, as a function of...
