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.... -
Biosurfactant conventional surfactant mixing. Where nature does it better ?
Biosurfactants are becoming more commonplace in pharmaceuticals, vaccines and other forms of medicines. With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce... -
Kinetics of surfactant multilayer formation / dissolution at interfaces
The formation of multilayer structures at surfaces and interfaces from self-assembly in mixed surfactant and in polymer / surfactant mixtures has been recently reported, and... -
Hydration and chain entanglement in random poly(HEMA-co-PEG10MA) brushes
Marine biofouling compromises function and reliability of marine equipment, causing considerable economic and environmental damage. Biocides for fouling prevention are... -
Comparing peptide folding states in non-aqueous and aqueous solutions
How proteins fold from their linear sequence into their functional structures is still not understood and the misfolding of proteins is linked to a variety of diseases - such as... -
Interfacial adsorption of keratin as characterised by neutron reflection
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the adsorption of keratins and their interactions with ionic surfactants at the solid/water interface.... -
Order and disorder in sodium amide
Sodium amide has recently attracted interest as a catalyst for the decomposition of ammonia as a means of producing hydrogen. As such, its properties are of increasing relevance... -
Competitive adsorption in hydrophobin / protein mixtures at the solid-solutio...
Hydrophobins are secreted fungal proteins in the form of small lipopetide biosurfactants. They are strongly surface active and self-assemble at interfaces and in solution. This... -
Understanding the molecular origin of co-non-solvency. Step 2.
A number of polymers that are commonly soluble in water and in alcohol, display a dramatic collapse when 10 molar % of alcohol is added to the polymer/water system. Various... -
Surface structure of ethoxylated PEI/SDS mixtures: optimising surface properties
The strong interaction between polyelectrolytes and ionic surfactants can result in pronounced surface adsorption and the formation of surface multilayer structures. This... -
Neutron Diffraction Study of Deformation in Coarse-Grained Cast Alpha-Uranium
This experiment aims to obtain experimental data to validate crystal plasticity modelling of a metal with a complex, anisotropic, crystal structure. We propose to measure the... -

Structural behaviour of gallium in phosphate glasses for bone cements
Bone cements are an important class of biomaterial used in hard tissue surgery as well as periodontology. Many of these are glass-ionomer cements formed from an aluminosilicate... -
Association and liquid structure of zwitterionic salts-water mixtures
Anti-fouling surfaces are a critical requirement for a wide range of biomedical applications, such as medical implants and biosensors. Poly(ethylene glycol) is widely used... -
Pressure Tuning of a Sodium Battery Material
The most important scientific problems to solve for the future is how to efficiently convert and store clean energy. To realize all-solid-state devices and high-performance... -
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... -

Sodium amide has recently attracted interest as a catalyst for the decomposition of ammonia as a means of producing hydrogen. As such, its properties are of increasing relevance... -
Structure of chain-grafted silica nanoparticles
The aim of the proposed experiment is to carry out a series of SANS measurements on chain-grafted silica nanoparticles prepared in our laboratory. In this experiment we plan to... -
Understanding Sulphur and Nitrogen-Aromatic interactions from liquid structure
Asphaltenes are a complex and problematic fraction of crude oil that can precipitate, alter wettability and stabilise unwanted oil-in-water emulsions. Asphaltenes have a high...
