Probing perfume surface delivery / retention rates in-situ
This proposal is part of a funded (CASE) project, aimed at understanding the delivery of benefit actives (perfumes) to interfaces and the development of new self-assembled... -
Competitive adsorption in hydrophobin / protein mixtures at the solid-solutio...
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... -
Interfacial layer structure of designed linear lipopeptides
Lipopeptide surfactants are a group of interesting biosurfactants due to their natural origin and their high effectiveness at reducing interfacial tension. However, there is a... -
Multilayering of Methyl Ester Sulphonates at the Air-Aqueous Interface
Surfactants usually form a single layer of molecules at the surface of water. We have shown, surprisingly, that under certain conditions more than one layer may form. When this... -
Surface activity of biosurfactant (sophorolipid) / surfactant mixtures
Understanding the fundamental aspects of the surface adsorption and self-assembly of biosurfactant and biosurfactant / conventional surfactant mixtures is a major challenge for... -
Antibody-polysorbate surface interactions
Of concern to the bioprocessing industry is the manner in which polysorbates included in solution formulations of antibodies affect the kinetics and equilibrium state of... -
Constructing analogues of gemini and oligomeric surfactants through noncovale...
Gemini-like and oligomeric-like surfactants can be constructed by single-chain or gemini surfacants with connecting molecules through noncovalent binding without complicated... -
Multilayering of Isostearic Methyl Ester Sulphonate at the Air-Aqueous Interf...
Surfactants usually form a single layer of molecules at the surface of water. We have shown that under certain conditions more than one layer may form. in which case the system... -
Interfacial structures and competitive adsorption of amphiphilic polymers wit...
Foam stability, appearance and functionality is governed by the thin liquid films between foam bubbles. These films are stabilised by surface active molecules (surfactants and... -
Surface adsorption in hydrophobin and hydrophobin / surfactant mixtures
Hydrophobins are secreted fungal proteins and are small lipopeptide biosurfactants. They are strongly surface active and self-assemble at interfaces. Their unique film forming... -
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... -
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 /...
