Technological study of ancient byzantine 12 Nummi coins Part II
Byzantine bronze coins (6th cent. AD) minted in Alexandria, and now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, are studied with focus on technological aspects. For the leaded... -
Polymer conjugates for drug delivery
Complex polymer architectures such as comb polymers have been studied for their highly customisable chemical properties. Potential applications have been identified in a wide... -
Interaction of polypeptide with surfactant: SANS study of solution aggregation
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the solution aggregation of collagen based polypeptides and their interactions with model surfactants.... -
Investigation of co-solvency and co-nonsolvency effects, based on the structu...
Co-solvency is a phenomenon where a small quantity of co-solvent is added to a bulk solvent to enhance the solubility of a desired solute in the mixture. Correspondingly, there... -
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... -
Martensite Variants and elastic Constants of Co-Ni-Ga Shape Memory Alloys
Pseudoelastic Co-Ni-Ga high-temperature shape memory alloys are characterized by a wide range of tunable transformation temperatures and lower processing costs compared to... -
Interaction of polypeptides with surfactants: aqueous solution aggregation
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding how collagen based polypeptides interact with ionic surfactants using SANS. Both SDS and C12TAB will be... -
SANS studies of Amphotec (aggregates of amphotericin-cholesteryl sulfate)
The anti-fungal agent amphotericin B (AmB) can be administered to patients in aqueous solution complexed with cholesteryl sulfate (CS), and this formulation helps to minimise... -
Structural characterization of a series of polymer-protein conjugates for chr...
Polymer-protein conjugates have been designed to deliver an appropriate target growth factor to promote a more rapid healing of chronic wounds, an incredibly important area for... -
Investigation of magnetic defects in exfoliated graphite
Graphene has recently received widespread attention, after the discovery of its stability as a 2Dcrystal at ambient conditions and thanks to a wealth of possible applications.... -
Estimating carbon contents in historical European blades through neutron diff...
Previous studies have attempted to correlate the results of metallography with neutron diffraction studies on the very high-carbon steels used in Oriental blades. Japanese sword... -
Effect of End Group on RAFT-Polymers for Lipid Nanodisc Stabilisation
Polymer stabilized lipid nanodiscs offer enormous potential as tools for enabling membrane protein structural studies & biophysics. Previously we studied discs formed using...
