Hydrophobic drug encapsulation is one of the widely used strategies to overcome the poor adsorption and bioavailability of these drugs in vivo. Water-soluble amphiphilic...

This proposal continues our investigations into polyelectrolyte-surfactant solutions which form thin films at the air-solution interface. Our previous work has investigated the...

Nanostructured lipid aggregates offer enormous potential as tools for membrane structural biology and biophysics. Poly(Styrene-Maleic Acid) stabilized lipid nanodiscs have a...

We have begun to explore the synthesis, reactivity and physicochemical properties of a number of surface-active metal complexes, to devise a method for the catalytic...

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...

Nanoscale magnetic skyrmions are swirl-like magnetisation entities that satisfy topological quantisation conditions. They can therefore not be easily unwound into another...

The aim of this experiment is to investigate surfactant aggregation in ionic liquids and also ionic liquid ¿ oil and ionic liquid ¿ water microemulsions via SANS. Contrast...

We shall use SANS to investigate the conformational behaviour of a range of amphiphilic copolymers with varying architectures: graft, hyperbranched block, hyperbranched random,...

The aim of this experiment is to characterise several novel ionic liquid ¿ oil and ionic liquid ¿ water microemulsions via SANS prior to their use in the synthesis of metallic...
