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... -
Characterisation and peptide resistance capabilities of bacterial membrane mi...
Lysylphosphatidylglycerol (LPG) is a major constituent of the plasma membrane of the bacterial pathogen methicilin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which has been... -
Structural Studies on Aggregates Formed by Novel Star-Shaped Oligomeric Surfa...
Oligomeric surfactants, where three or more alkyl chains and headgroups are connected via spacer groups with various geometries, have interesting and potentially important... -
Solubilisation of Drug Molecules in Nonionic Surfactant Micelles: Structural ...
This proposal aims to understand how the structure of non-ionic surfactant micelles affects the amount of fungicides solubilised. SANS is a technique unique for unravelling the... -
Assembly Mechanism of Fibrous Gemini Surfactant Gels
Building from experimental kinetic work already carried out, we will investigate the initial steps in the assembly mechanism of gemini surfactants that form fibrous gels in... -
Constructing analogues of Gemini and oligomeric surfactants using polyamines
Gemini or oligomeric surfactants, where two or more alkyl chains and headgroups are connected via spacer groups, have interesting and potentially important properties which make...
