Effect of glycolipids with therapeutic potential on phase behaviour of model ...
alpha-galactosylceramide (a-GalCer) can activate an immune response through a protein-mediated cell signalling event. The effect of a-GalCer on local membrane structure is... -
A study of hole injection efficiency for a model conjugated bilayer system
Polymer-based electronics have attracted huge interest due to their wide applicability to light emitting diodes, field effect transistors and photovoltaics. The aim of our... -
Dispersion of Alkylated graphenes in non-polar solvents
Graphene, a new class of two-dimensional carbon structure, has attracted much attention as a material with unique physical and chemical properties. The aim of this proposal is... -
Mimicking Pathogens : Floating Gram Negative Bacterial Membranes Containing t...
Recently we have been able to show two advances in the creation of realistic models of the Gram negative bacterial outer surface for use in biophysical and structural studies.... -
Interface magnetism study of Fe/GaSb epitaxial structures
We propose to study the magnetic moment and the magnetic layer profile in order to rule out the presence of magnetic dead layers at the interface in thin Fe films grown... -
Adsorption of Monoclonal Antibodies at the Solid/liquid Interface
We propose to use neutron reflection to study the interfacial adsorption of 2 novel bispecific therapeutic antibodies at the silicon oxide/water interface. To enpower each of... -
Interactions of lipidic cubic nanoparticles with model lipid biomembranes at ...
Lipidic cubic nanoparticles (LCNPs) have been extensively studied as therapeutic agents and delivery systems due to their biocompatibility, ease of drug encapsulation and... -
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... -
GISANS directed to study lipid bilayer structures on nanowire arrays
Nanowires are increasingly being used in life science to interact with living cells, for example as nanometer probes. The interaction between the cell membrane, i.e. a lipid... -
Detailed Structure of Phospholipid Bilayers from Multiple Contrast Neutron Re...
In recent monolayer measurements, we have developed models for obtaining detailed structural information of phospholipid structures. The models employ a 'quasimolecular'... -
Spontaneous surfactant multilayer formation at interfaces induced by multival...
The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at interfaces from surfactant self-assembly is now emerging as an important structural signature associated with a wide range... -
Voltage-induced swelling and collapse of weak polyelectrolyte brushes
The voltage-induced actuation of a weak polyelectrolyte brush is an example of an ultrathin, remotely controlled responsive surface coating. We propose a continuation of... -
Hydrogen and deuterium (un)loading kinetics in nano-layered hafnium for hydro...
Accurate, safe and cheap hydrogen detectors that can function under a wide range of conditions are required to detect hydrogen concentrations well below this explosive limit are... -
Neutron Reflection Studies on Adsorption of Lauroyl-L-Carnitine (C12-L-Caniti...
Acyl L-Carnitines are a group of novel surfactants with attractive physical and biological properties associated with their head group charge features. This work proposes to use... -
Lipodepsipeptides and Brown Blotch Disease in Mushrooms (i) Effect of biogeni...
Tolaasin is a lipodepsipeptide (lipo = hydrophobic side chain, depsipeptide is an amino acid ring closed in a particular way) produced by strains of Pseudomonas tolaasii, and it... -
Determining the Electromechanical Response Mechanism of Nanostructured Ionic ...
One of the rapidly developing frontiers in research is focused on the design of materials that have targeted functionalities and tunable responses to external stimuli. A chief... -
Photooxidation of Secondary Atmospheric Aerosol from photo generated Toluene
Oxidation of urban aromatic atmospheric aerosol can produce cloud condensation nuclei capable of changing the reflectivity and lifetime of clouds. The oxidation of organic film... -
Membrane interactions of a viral scission protein
Influenza virus is a pathogen of great medical importance that causes seasonal epidemics and sporadic pandemics. Among the least understood events of the influenza virus... -
Ozonation of organic films at the air-water interface of atmospheric aerosol
The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by atmospheric aerosols. Organic surfactant films on these aerosols influences their size, optical properties and ability to act as... -
