Protein-surfactant co-adsorption at the oil/water interface: exploring neutron reflection measurements
The proposal seeks to develop Figaro as a neutron reflection instrument to undertake the oil-water interface studies using polypeptide-surfactant mixtures as an object of study. As the start, the interfacial tension values are modest, so that the interfacial structures are relatively easy to determine. The ultimate technical challenge lies in the ability to unravel meaningful information when the interfacial tension values are getting lower. As before, we will also test how the combined use of deuterium substitution to the surfactant and solvent help define the interfacial structures.
