Neutron reflection studies on model wax films reconstituted from chemicals
Morphological features of plant waxes vary from species to species, but little is understood about what controls these morphological changes although it is widely believed that... -
Effect of Cholesterol on NHE1 intracellular domain adsorption on lipid bilayers
The Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) is a transmembrane protein with the primary function of regulating the pH in the cytosol by exchanging one proton with one Na+ ion. The... -
Probing the structure/function relationship of NhaA protein incorporated into...
We propose to perform combined measurements of neutron reflectometry (NR) and impedance spectroscopy (IS) to investigate the structure/function relationship of tethered bilayer... -
Adsorption of Organic Phosphate onto Silicon
This proposal presents to directly measure ¿bridging¿ of anionic surfactants on an anionic surface through multivalent ions from water under well-controlled conditions (pHs and... -
Nanoparticle-surfactant layers at the water-oil interface
The spontaneous selfassembly of nanoparticles (NP) at liquid-liquid interfaces is a phenomenon present in nature and relevant for many applications, such as, emulsion... -
Protein Adsorption at the PDMS Oil/Water Interface
Neutron reflection has been successfully used to measure the conformation of proteins adsorbed at the oil/water interface. However, in several such experiments, hexadecane has... -
Lipid monolayers at oil/water interfaces at high surface pressure as model bi...

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... -
Interaction between RNA and lipid monolayers
The objective of the suggested study is to reveal the structure formed when short ssRNA molecules (similar to miRNA) interact with lipid monolayers at the air-water interface.... -
Interaction of the nucleic acid, DNA, with a model biomembranes of varying ri...
In this experiment we aim to investigate, using neutron reflectometry in combination with contrast variation, the intermolecular interaction between the nucleic acid, calf... -
Adsorption of sodium polyacrylate to sapphire - how does a colloidal stabiliz...
Stabilizers of colloidal particles are often complex and their function may involve several mechanisms to impart stability of a wide range of conditions. Sodium polyacrylate is... -
Effect of high temperatures on the adsorption of benzotriazole onto copper/co...
Benzotriazole (BTAH) is a very effective corrosion inhibitor for copper and its alloys in both water and in oils. BTAH is introduced as a corrosion inhibitor in oil based... -
Adsorption of hexadecyl maltoside on hydrophobised silica
The surface properties of alkylglycosides is of large interest as these non-ionic surfactants have proved to be versatile ingredients in manifold formulated products such as... -

Adsorption of an Anionic Surfactant on Anionic Surfaces in the Presence of Po...
In this proposal, we request beamtime to study the very unexpected adsorption behaviour of the surfactant bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate potassium and ammonium salt (K(AOT)... -
Determination of Organic Friction Modifier conformation under shear
Engine oils act to lubricate and protect moving parts in an engine. They act to reduce friction and reduce emissions. A major class of friction reducing additives are organic... -
The effect of membrane fluidity on the interaction of antimicrobial proteins ...
Protein-lipid\membrane interactions are fundamentally important to biological processes. We have examined the role protein hydrophobicity in protein-membrane interactions... -
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.... -
Neutron Reflection of Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide (C16TAB) at the Mica Wat...
An understanding of surfactant aggregation on clay surfaces is important for detergency processes such as cleaning and pollutant removal. Studies have shown that the adsorbed... -
Charged surfactant adsorption and detergency upon reconstituted plant cuticul...
A number of studies have determined that non-ionic surfactants are capable of altering diffusionrates and transportation of both water and active ingredients thorough the waxy...
