Probing the thickness of the polymer adsorbed layer in HEUR stabilized oil in...
Oils are commonly used in personal care industry as emollients. Owing to their undesirable feel they are formulated in oil in water emulsions form. Emulsions contains... -
Controlling Biosurfactant self assembly in solution.
Biosurfactants are becoming more commonplace in pharmaceuticals, vaccines and other forms of medicines. With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce... -
The impact of synthetic perfumes on surfactant self-assembly.
This proposal is part of a broad collaboration between Oxford, CCLRC, and Unilever in the study of surfactants and mixed surfactants at interfaces and in solution. This is an... -
Solution aggregation of short peptide surfactants
Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly to lead to interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation.... -
Structure determination of solution aggregation of single alkyl chain PC surf...
We have synthesised alkyl phosphorylcholine (CnPC) surfactants in hydrogenated and deuterated form and have determined their solution aggregation using SANS. In this part of... -
Probing chiral interactions in aqueous amino acid deriving polymers
Sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) is a low molecular weight gelator, widely known as one of the components of bile salts. Above a specific concentration, NaDC is able to form pH... -
Interaction of Lignosulphonates with model surfactant systems by Small Angle ...
With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce reliance on palm and crude oil derived materials, it is vital that the Home and Personal Care industry... -
Mixing CO2-philc surfactants and hydrotropes as a new approach to control vis...
One application where liquid CO2 has found success is enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) of crude oil from porous rocks. However, a significant disadvantage of using CO2 in EOR is... -
INTER as a new Tool to Follow the Dynamic Adsorption of Antibody and Non-ioni...
Following our very recent work on the dynamic co-adsorption of our control antibody COE-3 and nonionic surfactant PS80-7EO from the mixed solution, We request 3 days of Inter... -
Competitive adsorption of a Biosurfactant conventional surfactant mixture at ...
We propose to study the competitive adsorption of a biosurfactant conventional surfactant mixture at the surface of an emulsion droplet in order to determine how these two... -

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... -
AGGREGATION BEHAVIOUR OF A NOVEL P-AOT SURFACTANT
This proposal aims to provide essential surfactant micellisation structural information of significant interest in its own right but also as key information for our on-going... -
Neutron Reflection Studies on Adsorption of Myristoyl-L-Carnitine at the Air/...
The acyl-L-carnitines are a group of novel surfactants. Following our recent home laboratory work to synthesize, purify and characterize them, the aim of this proposal is to... -
Resolving mixing.demixing effects in hydrocarbon/fluorocarbon micelles
Surfactants ability to lower surface tension and act as solubilising agents is critical for their wide use in everyday products. An oily hydrocarbon (HC) "tail group" attached... -

How do Surfactants Interact with Complex Monoclonal Antibodies at Oil/Water I...
Heavily bio-engineered monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are an increasingly important trend in the biopharmaceutical industry. However, these mAbs are often destabilised by the... -
Novel dual purpose antimicrobials and co-formulates to regenerate currently r...
The increased prevalence of antimicrobial resistant bacteria is the most significant challenge facing the human-health today in both developed and developing worlds. It's... -
Interactions between Designed Antimicrobial Lipopeptides and Inner Membrane L...
Neutron reflection will be used to reveal the structural changes from different inner membrane leaflet models upon interacting with a group of antimicrobial lipopeptides with... -
Micelle formation from model surfactant binary and ternary compositions in th...
The effects of electrolytes on SLES3, C12E8 and LAS4 has been extensively studied, especially the effect on the critical micelle concentration of each surfactant. We wish to...
