Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Neutron reflection combined with deuterium labelling offers the best means for tackling the complexity of the interaction of protein and surfactant at the solid-water interface. The adsorption and structural distributions of a range of food and blood proteins at the solid-water interface will be studied and their subsequent removal from a range of solid substrates will by investigated by using surfactants of different structural type. The surface properties will be controlled by chemically grafting monolayers with different functional groups on the outer surface. The effect of system conditions, e.g. pH, salt and protein concentrations in bulk solutions on the ease of protein removal from the solid substrates will be quantified.
