Understanding the insertion of antibiotic toxins into the gram negative outer...
The gram-negative bacterial membrane is of extreme medical importance. Two of its major components are lipopolysaccharides (LPS's) and integral membrane proteins. Porins are... -
Interfacial Adsorbtion from Nematic Mixtures
The aim is to determine the amount of absorbtion of the one component of a mixture at the nemtic/air interface using neutron reflection. The host material in the mixture will be... -
Investigating the surface structure and composition of binary ionic liquid mi...
The structure of ionic liquid (IL)-gas interfaces is currently a hot topic in the field and our understanding of pure ILs is improving. However, very little is known about the... -
Extreme Synergistic mixing in Biosurfactant ionic surfactant mixtures
The biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce reliance on palm and crude oil derived materials, demand that Home and Personal Care industries develops... -
Adsorbtion from nematic mixtures
The aim is to measure the preferential adsorption of one component in a nematic mixture. The base is 4-pentyl 4¿- cyanobiphenyl (5CB) and it is doped with 4-pentyl 4¿-... -
Structure and conformation of thermo-responsive nanogels at air/water interfa...
Soft polymeric nanoparticles possess many interesting properties. Those based on N-isopropylacrylamide are surface active and respond to changes in temperature. This give rise... -

The structure of ionic liquid (IL)-gas interfaces is currently a hot topic in the field and understanding of the surface structure of pure ILs is improving. However, very little... -
Multilayer formation at the air-water interface in polyamine / surfactant mix...
The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at interfaces by surfactant self-assembly is emerging as an important and more common structural signature associated with a... -
Understanding the decrease in adsorption of surfactants at a solid surface ab...
Previous data obtained from neutron reflection shown in Figure 1 has clearly shown that the surface excess of some surfactants when adsorbed from aqueous solution to a sapphire... -
Interfacial conformation of antibody and antigen binding capacity
Antibody-antigen binding has been extensively used in many technological applications such as immunoassays, chemical analysis and bionanotechnology. The crucial element... -
Study of Small molecule effects on AB interactions with model lipid layer by ...
Neutron reflectometery will be used to provide the vital information about the interaction/conformation of the organophosphonate compound on the lipid structure in the... -
Oxidation of bilayer of labelled DPPC by aqueous hydroxyl radical elucidati...
Oxidation of atmospheric aerosol can produce cloud condensation nuclei capable of changing the reflectivity and lifetime of clouds. The oxidation of organic film on atmospheric... -
Anomalous Layer at a Nematic-Air Interface using Thin Films
The aim is to establish the nature of the surface layer of 8CB at the nematic-air interface by measuring neutron reflection from the n=8, 10 and 12 homologues of the nCB series... -
Manipulating surface adsorption of SLES surfactants using temperature
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... -
Time Resolved Studies on Inorganic Film Formation at the Air-Solution Interface
In a recent SURF experiment on the formation of silica films templated with cat-anionic/polymer complexes we found that the film growth and evolution occurs on a faster time... -
D2O Vapour Diffusion at the Air Water Interface
A theoretical estimate of the H/D exchange rate for an open trough (e.g. D2O in ambient atmosphere, 50% relative humidity) yields an amount of exchanged liquid of the order of... -
Organisation of Outer membrane protein F at the air/liquid interface
Crystallisation of membrane proteins as a precursor to high resolution structural studies is a significant research bottleneck. We are investigating alternative methods to...
