Pore forming lipopeptides, such as Tolaasin, are produced by pathogenic mushroom bacteria, and are implicated in diseases such as ¿brown blotch¿ disease. They have potential...

Biosurfactants are becoming more commonplace in pharmaceuticals, vaccines and other forms of medicines. With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce...

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...

This proposal is part of a funded (CASE) project, aimed at understanding the delivery of benefit actives (perfumes) to interfaces and the development of new self-assembled...

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...

Pore forming lipopeptides, such as Tolaasin, are produced by pathogenic mushroom bacteria, and are implicated in diseases such as ¿brown blotch¿ disease. They have potential...

The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at interfaces from surfactant self-assembly has until recently been rarely observed. However, surface multilayer structures...

The strong interaction between polyelectrolytes and ionic surfactants can result in pronounced surface adsorption and the formation of surface multilayer structures. This...

Surfactant-silica self-assembly processes have been extensively studied since the discovery of M41S mesoporous materials in 1992. Mesoporous silicate films can be grown from...

This proposal relates to the structural studies of Di-stearoyl and di-palmitoyl Polyethylene glycol derivates as a function of the PEG head group at the air-water and the...

Of concern to the bioprocessing industry is the manner in which polysorbates included in solution formulations of antibodies affect the kinetics and equilibrium state of...

Adsorption of colloidal particles to an interface is of fundamental interest in understanding wetting, capillarity and colloidal forces as well as being of practical importance...

This proposal is part of a funded (CASE) project, aimed at understanding the delivery of benefit actives (perfumes) to interfaces and the development of new self-assembled...

Many proteins exhibit a lag in lowering the surface tension at the air-water interface. The origin of this lag is not well understood either experimentally or theoretically. The...

Although surfactant detergency is well understood above 30 C, actions of surfactants below 30 C are not well established. In the era of energy saving and environment caring, we...
