pH-control of swelling and charge neutralization of thin hydrogel films
Hydrogels are widely used in biomaterials science, much due to excellent protein resistance, and physicochemical properties similar to biological tissue. Charge neutrality is... -
Structure of polyaromatic hydrocarbons in solution
Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are small disk shaped molecules that are important to a number of active research areas. These include natural systems, such as asphaltenes, the... -
How perfume structure affects surface coadsorption with anionic surfactants
In a recent EPSRC / Unilever / Oxford CASE project we have used NR to explore and develop optimised delivery mechanism for active benefit agents such as perfumes. In particular... -
Interaction of amino acid based biosurfactants with model lipid bilayers
N-acyl amino acids are surfactants with attractive applications in different technological fields. They are referred to as mild surfactants because they are commonly considered... -
Study of Small molecule effects on AB interactions with model lipid layer by ...
Neutron reflectometery will be used to provide the vital information about the interaction/conformation of the organophosphonate compound on the lipid structure in the... -
Structure of Colloidal Crystals Near a Solid Surface
The structure of colloidal crystals (dispersions of particles that spontaneously order in a regular array) is known to be influenced by solid boundaries. However there are few... -
Neutron Compton Scattering - augmented Muon Spin Rotation: from proton moment...
This proposal seeks to pave the way towards establishing a reliable benchmarking protocol for the PIMD-based predictions of magnetic muSR observables. Inspired by the PIMD study... -
The molecule state in the molecularly doped metals
Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) spectroscopy is an ideal technique for studying the interaction of a metal with ligands because the metal is essentially invisible to neutrons... -
muSR study of the superconducting state in the first nitrogen-containing iron...
Due to a strong competition between other groups doing muSR study, we are submitting this proposal as a Rapid proposal. Recently, Wang et al. found the first nitrogen-containing... -
Interaction of deuterated thermo-responsive nanogels with lipid multilayers
Small gel molecules which can change their properties in response to, for example temperature are important for applications such as drug delivery through the skin. In order to... -
Membrane-stacking properties of myelin proteins
Myelin is the multilamellar structure that ensheaths axons and accelerates nervous impulses in the nervous system. The fine structure of myelin remains to be further... -
Low temperature magnetic properties of the mineral gaudefroyite
The mineral gaudefroyite contains parallel chains of linked MnO6 octahedra. The Mn magnetic moments order with parallel spins within a given chain at low temperature, but the... -
Interplay of apoptosis regulating Bcl-2 proteins at mitochondrial membranes u...
Mitochondria are not only the powerhouse of the cell, but are also involved in cellular suicide via apoptosis (programmed cell death). This pathway is a major regulator in cell... -

Manipulating surface adsorption of SLES surfactants using temperature
Although surfactant detergency is well understood above 30 C, actions of surfactants below 30 C are not well established. In the era of energy saving and environment caring, we... -

Defects in the Core Oligosaccharide in Gram Negative Bacterial Outer Membrane...
The outer membrane of Gram negative bacterial is an effective barrier for many harmful agents. We have been developing and testing advanced models of the Gram negative bacterial... -
Influence of shear on polymer adsorption at solid / liquid interfaces
Lubricants contain a complex mixtures of polymers and base oils that must provide protection to moving surfaces with minimal energy loss due to friction or viscous drag. There... -
More than the sum - oxidation behaviour of mixed fatty acid monolayers
Single molecule thin films of various surface-active species are found on the surface of water bodies from the sea down to microscopic spray droplets. These films affect the... -
Structural change of Ni-Zr amorphous alloy due to the deuterium absorption
It is well known that Ni-Zr amorphous alloys are highly resistant to pulverization due to the repetition of the hydrogen absorption and desorption unlike Ni-Zr crystalline...
