PNR measurements of the induced magnetisation in nanocarbon.
Nanocarbon materials such as C60 show fascinating transport properties when in contact with a ferromagnet. Previous results indicate that this could be due to a spin polarized... -
Planar bilayer formation on novel cationic surface suitable for membrane prot...
Membrane receptor proteins (MRPs) which are thought to represent the majority of drug targets are challenging to study as their structure and function is dependent on being... -
Adsorption of perfluoroalkyl substances to a model soil interface to elucidat...
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are stable, surface active and fully fluorinated compounds that have both a hydrophobic fluorinated carbon chain and a hydrophilic ionizable... -
Does ozone initiate damage to the main pulmonary surfactant lipid, DPPC, or c...
Exposure to ozone gas can cause inflammation of the airways and breathing difficulties. The initial reaction of ozone is thought to be predominantly with lipids present in the... -
Interfacial structures between Nafion and Platinum under controlled electroch...
We wish to propose a neutron reflectivity (NR) experiment for a Nafion/platinum interface under controlled electrochemical potential, because NR is the only technique to study... -
Floating Lipid Bilayers Created by Vesicle Fusion
'Floating LSupported Bilayers' (FSB's) have become the 'standard' systems used for studying membrane systems using reflectivity at ISIS and other facilities. They are reliable,... -
The interaction of Plant Defensins with Model Lipid Membranes : Understanding...
Plants do not have the sophisticated immunoglobulin immune systems of vertibrates, instead they posses a series of stimuli based responses which defend against pathogentic... -
Conformation of lipid, DSPC and cholesterol mixture
In this proposal we intend to investigate the intermolecular interactions in a mixed phospholipid/cholesterol monolayer at the oil-water interface using neutron reflectometry.... -
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... -
Adsorption of benzotriazole onto copper/copper oxide surface from non-aqueous...
Benzotriazole (BTAH) has been known to be a very effective corrosion inhibitor for copper and its alloys. Adsorption of BTAH from oil is a relatively less researched area... -
An investigation on the adsorption of reverse pluronic and additives on metal...
PPO-PEO-PPO copolymer-based lubricant with extreme pressure or friction modifier additives has been introduced as boundary lubricant in metal forming. The Pluronic reverse... -
Iron Oxide Nanoparticle Interactions with Lipid Bilayers in a Magnetic Field
Iron oxide nanoparticles are one of the first nanomaterials to be approved for use in the body. However, research into particle binding and incorporation to, as well as... -
The Interaction of Grp1 with Membranes Containing Signalling Phospholipids
This dataset has no description

The Structure of Ca- and Yb-ammonia Solutions: Polarons, Bipolarons and Elect...
In this experiment we propose to perform diffraction on isotopically substituted samples of Ca/Yb:ND/H3 and Ca/Yb:15ND3 at two concentrations (8 and 2 MPM) using the new NIMROD... -
Structural modelling of meibomian lipid films
Meibomian lipids spread on the surface of tears to enable formation of a stable film. Our data show that meibum forms duplex films that have physical properties not emulated by... -
Model biomembrane dendrimer interactions
The objective of the present study is to investigate the interaction between PAMAM dendrimers and solid supported model biomembranes of high fluidity. These membranes consist of... -
Interfacial adsorption of monoclonal antibody and antigen binding
Antibody-antigen binding has been extensively used in many technological applications such as immunoassays, chemical analysis and bionanotechnology. The crucial element... -
Understanding the Affect of Lipid Tail Saturation on Anaesthetic Interaction ...
The mechanism of general anaesthetic action is poorly understood despite their widespread use. It is hoped that investigating the interaction of anaesthetics with lipid bilayers... -
Incorporation of PAN-pyrene swollen micelles in crosslinked polyelectrolyte f...
We have been studying the formation of solid polymer-surfactant films at the air-solution interface formed from cationic surfactants with PEI. We wish to use the micelles... -
Neutron Reflectivity Study of Antimicrobial Peptides Interacting with Lipopol...
The outer membrane (OM) of gram negative bacteria is mainly constituted of highly polydisperse and amphiphilic lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an endotoxin which is accompanied by...
