Nature of the protein corona on nanoparticle surfaces
When nanoparticles enter a biosytem they rapidly acquire a protein corona. The nature of the outer part of this corona will determine the response of the biosystem to the... -
Nanophase separation in monolayers of stratum corneum mixtures
There is considerable effort being put into the modelling of the outer layer of skin, the stratum corneum, because of impending EU restrictions on the use of animal skin for... -
Interactions between a mixture containing two cationic polyelectrolytes and a...
Recently there has been a vast expansion in understanding about the interactions between oppositely charged polyelectrolyte/surfactant mixtures. The use of neutron reflectometry... -
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... -
Conformation of di-stearoyl-polyethylene glycol surfactants as enhancers of b...
This proposal relates to the structural studies of Di-stearoyl and di-palmitoyl Polyethylene glycol derivates as a function of the PEG head group at the air-water and the... -
Conformational changes on interaction of cytochrome c with lipid monolayers.
The main objective of the present work is to gain an understanding of the interaction of the cationic protein, cyt c with anionic lipid membranes. This objective will be... -
Adsorption of multicomponent biosurfactant / surfactant mixtures at the air-w...
This proposal is part of a collaboration between Oxford and Ulster Universities and Unilever, on the development of sustainable laundry detergents, using a blend of conventional... -
The impact of polyelectrolytes on surfactant adsorption onto cellulose surfaces
Studying surfactant and mixed surfactant adsorption on model solid surfaces, which mimic real surfaces such as fabrics, hair and skin, is starting to provide a real insight into... -
Adsorption of modified PEI / SDS mixtures at the solid-solution interface
Polymer-surfactant mixtures are extensively used in a wide range of domestic, industrial and technological applications. This proposal is part of a collaboration between Oxford... -
Evolution of complex surface structures in LAS / nonionic surfactant mixtures
This proposal is part of a broad programme of collaborative research between RAL / Oxford and Unilever, using predominantly scattering techniques to investigate the nature of... -
impact of mutlivalent counterions on surfactant adsorption
We request NR beam time on SURF to study the impact of multivalent counterions on the surface adsorption of alkyloxyethylene sulfate surfactants and alkyloxyethylene sulphate /...
