Extreme Synergistic mixing in Biosurfactant ionic surfactant mixtures
The biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce reliance on palm and crude oil derived materials, demand that Home and Personal Care industries develops... -
Environmental Apatites
Materials adopting the apatite structure are gaining an increasing importance as potential solid-oxide fuel cell electrolytes and for the chemical stabilisation of high level... -
Surface properties of biogenic polyamine-surfactant mixtures
Polyions and biogenic polyamine are ubiquitous in many important biochemical functions. We propose here to use neutron reflectivity to investigate their potential to induce and... -
Strain/order parameter coupling and anomalous elastic properties of Sr(Ti,Zr)...
HRPD data will be collected in situ at low and high temperatures from perovskites belonging to the Sr(ZrxTi1-x)O3 solid solution which have recently been characterised for their... -
Solution aggregation of lipopeptides: SANS structure determination
Lipopeptide surfactants are highly effective at reducing interfacial tension. However, there is a general lack of understanding of the relationship between their molecular... -
Surface activity of antibacterial agents
This proposal is aimed at understanding the surface activity of the antibacterial agent, Triclosan, in the presence of surfactants. We request NR beam time on SURF to...
