New paper: “Structure and dynamics of nanoconfined water between surfactant monolayers”

Surfactant-covered aqueous interfaces are ubiquitous in everyday life. These interfaces play a key role in various commercial products, where surfactants adsorb onto the surface of bubbles or oil droplets to stabilize foams and emulsions. Examples of such foams and emulsions are commonly found in pharmaceuticals, detergents, cosmetics and lubricants. In …

New paper: “Minor chemistry changes alter surface hydration to control fibronectin adsorption and assembly into nanofibrils”

Our recent manuscript — “Minor chemistry changes alter surface hydration to control fibronectin adsorption and assembly into nanofibrils” — reports the results of a multi-disciplinary investigation of mechanisms that govern material-driven fibrillogenesis.  Previously, our collaborators in Prof. Manuel Salmeron-Sanchez‘s group at the University of Glasgow showed that fibronectin formed fibril …
