Lipopeptide surfactants are a group of interesting biosurfactants due to their natural origin and their high effectiveness at reducing interfacial tension. However, there is a...

Inhibition of non-specific protein adsorption to surfaces is critical for proper functioning of medical devices. Different approaches have been developed for producing surfaces...

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....

The aim of this collaborative proposal is to unravel micro- and nano-structures underlying unusually high solution viscosities from mixed surfactant systems. SANS is a unique...

Studies by the Bristol group, and elsewhere [1, 2], have shown that highly branched hydrocarbon chains is the key factor for generating effective non-fluorous CO2 philic...

We have previously studied the adsorption of anti-beta-hCG at the hydrophilic silicon oxide/water interface and the subsequent binding by antigen hCG. We propose to extend this...
