Anomalous Layer at a Nematic-Air Interface using Thin Films
The aim is to establish the nature of the surface layer of 8CB at the nematic-air interface by measuring neutron reflection from the n=8, 10 and 12 homologues of the nCB series... -
Electrical Double Layer Structure at the Clay-Water Interface
The interface between an aqueous ionic solution and a charged surface is known as the electrical double layer (EDL). A detailed knowledge of the structure developed in this... -
Surface Layer Structures of Short Peptide Amphiphiles
Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly, leading to interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation.... -
Adsorption of Alkylphenols onto the Surface of Polyamide-imide from Oil
Polyamide-imides are an important class of engineering polymers whose applications often call for high wear resistance whilst maintaining suitable lubrication. An understanding... -
