Interaction of the counteracting osmolytes TMAO and urea in aqueous solutions
TMAO is a naturally occurring protecting osmolyte which stabilizes proteins and influences intermolecular interactions. Like some other osmolytes it counteracts the effects of... -
Local microstructure investigations of lignin-derived hard carbon
Sodium ion batteries (NIB) are promising alternatives to the current lithium ion batteries: sodium is cheap, sustainable, and has similar properties to lithium. Search for an... -
The structure of ceramides in a model membrane environment
This proposal aims to investigate the structure of ceramide, an important component of cellular membranes in a mimic membrane environment. After assessment of this molecule in... -
Salts Dissolved in Salts: Ionic Liquid + inorganic salt mixtures
Ionic liquids (ILs) are low melting point organic salts that until recently were thought to have homogeneous microstructure. In recent SANDALS research,1 we showed pure ILs are... -
Model Amphiphilic Deep Eutectic Liquids
Deep eutectic liquids (DELs) - mixtures of high melting-point solids that form stable liquids near room temperature ¿ have recently emerged as a new class of novel solvents with...
