To understand better the properties of non-lamellar liquid crystalline nanoparticles, LCNP, as delivery vehicles or surface modifying systems, it is crucial to understand how...

This proposal is about the development of sustainable detergency based formulations, based on the blending of biosurfactants with conventional surfactants, and is part of a CASE...

There is strong drive towards the use of natural surfactants or biosurfactants which are biodegradable and biosustainable in products such as detergents, foods, cosmetics and...

Pore forming lipopeptides, such as Tolaasin, are produced by pathogenic mushroom bacteria, and are implicated in diseases such as ¿brown blotch¿ disease. They have potential...

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...

The nonionic polysorbate (Tween) surfactants are an important class of food grade surfactants. They are extensively use in emulsion and foam stabilisation, and are increasingly...

Increased environmental pressures and awareness is promoting a major drive towards an increased use of biosurfactants to produce more biosustainable and biodegradable consumer...

The MES is representative of a promising group of anionic surfactants which have the potential for improved performance and biocompatibility / biosustainability, and their...

To better understand the properties of non-lamellar liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LCNP) as delivery vehicles, it is crucial to understand their internal structure and the...

Zwitterionic alkyldimethylammonium carboxybetaines are used in applications which require mildness, e g cosmetics and isolation of membrane proteins, although they interact...

This proposal is part of a major EPSRC (EP/GR065705)/Unilever funded programme to develop and control the spontaneous formation of surfactant multilayer structures at...

The balance of proteins adsorbed at a surface is important in a wide range of situations, e.g. implants, nanoparticles. The accepted model is that rapidly diffusing proteins...

This proposal is part of a broad collaboration between Oxford, CCLRC, and Unilever in the study of surfactants and mixed surfactants at interfaces and in solution. This is an...

The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at interfaces from surfactant self-assembly is an important structural signature associated with a wide range of technological...

In the context of home and personal care products, studying surfactant and mixed surfactant adsorption on model solid surfaces, which mimic real surfaces such as fabrics, hair...

The formation of multilayer structures at surfaces and interfaces from self-assembly in mixed surfactant and in polymer / surfactant mixtures has been recently reported, and...

Amphiphilic protein surfactant interactions are becoming increasingly important in all aspects of soft condensed matter for drug delivery, flavour enhancement, foam stability...

Hydrophobins, hfb2, are secreted fungal proteins, which are strongly surface active and possess powerful emulsion and foam stabilising properties. Understanding their...

Hydrophobins are secreted fungal proteins in the form of small lipopetide biosurfactants. They are strongly surface active and self assemble at interfaces and in solution. This...

In the context of home and personal care products, studying surfactant and mixed surfactant adsorption ion model solid surfaces, which mimic real surfaces such as fabrics, hair...
