This review addresses the advances made with specular neutron reflectometry in studies of
aqueous mixtures of polymers and surfactants at fluid interfaces during the last decade (or …

Fluid interfaces can be used as a platform for promoting the direct and spontaneous self-
assembly of colloidal particles, where the driving force is the reduction in interfacial energy …

Among all methods available for the preparation of multifunctional nanostructured composite
materials with remarkable functional properties, Layer-by-Layer (LbL) assembly is currently …

Gram-negative bacteria are covered by both an inner cytoplasmic membrane (IM) and an
outer membrane (OM). Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) must first permeate through the OM …

BILBY is a recently constructed and commissioned time-of-flight small-angle neutron
scattering instrument, operated by the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering at the …

The demand for highly efficient macromolecular drugs, used in the treatment of many severe
diseases, is continuously increasing. However, the hydrophilic character and large …

Hypothesis: It is widely regarded that antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) kill bacteria by
physically disrupting microbial membranes and causing cytoplasmic leakage, but it remains …

Structural characterization of interfaces composed of soft materials (soft interfaces) helps in
understanding their physical behavior. Neutron reflectometry is one of the most powerful …

The D33 small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) instrument at the Institut Laue–Langevin
(ILL) is the most recent SANS instrument to be built at the ILL. In a project beginning in 2005 …

This paper addresses the effect of polyelectrolyte stiffness on the surface structure of
polyelectrolyte (P)/surfactant (S) mixtures. Therefore, two different anionic Ps with different …
