Understanding the decrease in adsorption of surfactants at a solid surface ab...
Previous data obtained from neutron reflection shown in Figure 1 has clearly shown that the surface excess of some surfactants when adsorbed from aqueous solution to a sapphire... -
Investigation of carrier transport in the organic semiconductor 8-hydroxy-qui...
Using the Emu spectrometer at ISIS we have recently studied charge carrier transport in the technologically important molecule 8-hydroxy-quinoline aluminium, by probing the... -
The interaction of oxidatively damaged lung proteins with anionic lipids
Lung surfactant protein B, SP-B, interacts with lipids at the air-water interface of the lung where its presence is vital for correct respiratory function. SP-B and its... -
P4Se3 polyamorphic glasses synthesised at high-pressure
PxSe1-x glasses cover almost entire composition range from pure Se to P0.84Se0.16. In addition, red phosphorus is usually also amorphous. The P4Se3 cage compound, situated in... -
Designing Porous Polymeric Gas Sensors
Porous polymer materials are important given their use in a wide variety of applications, for example detection of pollutants in the environment or security sensing of explosive... -
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...
