Structure and Dynamics of the Liquid-Solid Transition in amphiphiles with hyd...
An unusual series of amphiphilic molecules that form surface films on water have been investigated using a combination of Langmuir¿Blodget, ellispometric, and non-linear laser... -
Structure of antibiotic mixtures in lung surfactant membrane models at the ai...
Clarithromycin and Levofloxacin are essential antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections such as tuberculosis and pneumonia. Lung surfactants may be used as drug carrier of... -
Nanodiscs films at the air-water interface
Nanodiscs are self assembled complexes of phospholipids and a class of amphipathic helical proteins termed membrane scaffold proteins . The proteins and lipids self-assemble... -
Impact of Stereochemistry and Diamine Structure on Absorption of Constructed ...
Chiral gemini surfactants containing stereogenic centers and two amphiphilic moieties, not only maintain the chiral properties, but also exhibit stronger aggregation properties,... -
Molecular architecture of vesicles formed by novel sterol-modified phospholipids
A family of sterol-modified glycerophospholipids (SML) have been synthesized in which the sn-1 or sn-2 position is covalently attached to cholesterol and the alternative... -
Kinetics of Hydrogen Abstraction in Butane by Mu Reactivity
Hydrogen abstraction reactions are key steps in free radical mechanisms that dominate the combustion and atmospheric chemistry of the alkane hydrocarbons and, as such, merit... -
Templating of titania films in cationic-anionic surfactant polymer solutions
In this proposal we wish to continue our recent work using polyelectrolyte-surfactant films as templates for inorganic structures, in this case titania.... -

Shear driven assembly of magnetic nanoparticles close to a solid-liquid inter...
Ferro-fluids are liquids where magnetic nano-particles are dispersed in a solvent and are covered with surfactants to prevent clustering. If a magnetic field is applied to such... -
PNR study on the exchange bias propagation in the FM/AFM/FM trilayer with a t...
Today, a number of technological devices, such as the readout sensor in the hard disc drive, have used the exchange bias (EB) effect, which arises in a... -
Ibuprofen containing surfactant monolayers: location and stiochiometry of ibu...
An increasing number of potential drug molecules are extremely water insoluble, limiting their commercialisation as medicines. Solubilisation of drug in surfactant micelles is a... -
Forcing Sr2NiO2Cu2Se2 into the low spin regime under pressure
This is a proposal to drive the layered oxide chalcogenide Sr2NiO2Cu2Se2 from the high-spin state with long range magnetic order to the low-spin state, similar to that displayed... -
calcite water interface
The interface of CaCO3 (calcite) and water is of paramount importance in a number of key academic and industrial areas, including scale deposition in domestic and industrial... -
Neutron Reflectivity Study on Multi-domain DNA Molecular Motors
DNA is a versatile building material for nanotechnology. We have recently studied a surface-tethered single-domain DNA motor by neutron reflection (IR) for the first time. We... -
Wetting Transitions of Tackifiers in Adhesives
Migration and surface segregation of low molecular weight oligomers in adhesive formulations is a poorly understood, but hugely important phenomenon, responsible for most of the... -
Host-Guest Interactions at the Surface of a Cucurbit[8]uril Threaded Polymer
The increased use of polymers in engineering applications previously dominated by metals or ceramics gives the opportunity for direct tailoring of the surface characteristics... -
Determination of the absorbed amount and location of a hydrophobic drug in su...
Many drugs are both poorly water-soluble (hydrophobic) and lipophilic in nature and are therefore incorporated into surfactant micelles and monolayers. As the incorporation of... -
Spin-Lattice Coupling in a Frustrated Antiferromagnet
Frustrated magnetic materials are interesting because they show unusual behaviour arising from a near-degeneracy of ground states. The magnetic order of MgCr2O4 - apparently...
