  abstract  = {In this work{,} we present the first example of the self-assembly of phospholipid monolayers at the interface between air and an ionic solvent. Deep eutectic solvents are a novel class of environmentally friendly{,} non-aqueous{,} room temperature liquids with tunable properties{,} that have wide-ranging potential applications and are capable of promoting the self-assembly of surfactant molecules. We use a chemically-consistent Bayesian modelling of X-ray and neutron reflectometry measurements to show that these monolayers broadly behave as they do on water. This method allows for the monolayer structure to be determined{,} alongside the molecular volumes of the individual monolayer components{,} without the need for water-specific constraints to be introduced. Furthermore{,} using this method we are able to better understand the correlations present between parameters in the analytical model. This example of a non-aqueous phospholipid monolayer has important implications for the potential uses of these solvents and for our understanding of how biomolecules behave in the absence of water.},

  abstract = {refnx is a model-based neutron and X-ray reflectometry data analysis package written in Python. It is cross platform and has been tested on Linux, macOS and Windows. Its graphical user interface is browser based, through a Jupyter notebook. Model construction is modular, being composed from a series of components that each describe a subset of the interface, parameterized in terms of physically relevant parameters (volume fraction of a polymer, lipid area per molecule etc.). The model and data are used to create an objective, which is used to calculate the residuals, log-likelihood and log-prior probabilities of the system. Objectives are combined to perform co-refinement of multiple data sets and mixed-area models. Prior knowledge of parameter values is encoded as probability distribution functions or bounds on all parameters in the system. Additional prior probability terms can be defined for sets of components, over and above those available from the parameters alone. Algebraic parameter constraints are available. The softwares offers a choice of fitting approaches, including least-squares (global and gradient-based optimizers) and a Bayesian approach using a Markov-chain Monte Carlo algorithm to investigate the posterior distribution of the model parameters. The Bayesian approach is useful for examining parameter covariances, model selection and variability in the resulting scattering length density profiles. The package is designed to facilitate reproducible research; its use in Jupyter notebooks, and subsequent distribution of those notebooks as supporting information, permits straightforward reproduction of analyses.},

  abstract = {The existence of magnetic dipolar nanoparticle chains at zero field has been predicted theoretically for decades, but these structures are rarely observed  experimentally. A prerequisite is a permanent magnetic moment on the particles forming the chain. Here we report on the observation of magnetic dipolar chains of spherical iron oxide nanoparticles with a diameter of 12.8 nm. The nanoparticles are embedded in an ultrathin polymer film. Due to the high viscosity of the polymer matrix, the dominating aggregation mechanism is driven by dipolar interactions. Smaller iron oxide nanoparticles (8 nm) show no permanent magnetic moment and do not form chains but compact aggregates. Mixed monolayers of iron oxide nanoparticles and polymer at the air−water interface are characterized by Langmuir isotherms and in situ X-ray reflectometry (XRR). The combination of the particles with a polymer leads to a stable polymer nanocomposite film at the air−water interface. XRR experiments show that nanoparticles are immersed in a thin polymer matrix of 2 nm. Using atomic force microscopy (AFM) on Langmuir−Blodgett films, we measure the lateral distribution of particles in the film. An analysis  of single structures within transferred films results in fractal dimensions that are in excellent agreement with 2D simulations.},

The analysis of these techniques is ill-posed in nature requiring the application of model-dependent methods. This can lead to the over- and under- analysis of experimental data when too many or too few parameters are allowed to vary in the model. In this work, we outline a robust and generic framework for the determination of the set of free parameters that are capable of maximising the information density of the model. This framework involves the determination of the Bayesian evidence for each permutation of free parameters; and is applied to a simple phospholipid monolayer. We believe this framework should become an important component in reflectometry data analysis and hope others more regularly consider the relative evidence for their analytical models.},

  abstract = {Neutron reflectometry is the foremost technique for {\it in situ} determination of the volume fraction profiles of polymer brushes at planar interfaces. However, the subtle features in the reflectometry data produced by these diffuse interfaces challenge data interpretation. Historically, data analyses have used least-squares approaches that do not adequately quantify the uncertainty of the modeled profile and ignore the possibility of other structures that also match the collected data (multimodality). Here, a Bayesian statistical approach is used that permits the structural uncertainty and multimodality to be quantified for polymer brush systems. A free-form model is used to describe the volume fraction profile, minimizing assumptions regarding brush structure, while only allowing physically reasonable profiles to be produced. The model allows the total volume of polymer and the profile monotonicity to be constrained. The rigor of the approach is demonstrated via a round-trip analysis of a simulated system, before it is applied to real data examining the well characterized collapse of a thermoresponsive brush. It is shown that, while failure to constrain the interfacial volume and consider multimodality may result in erroneous structures being derived, carefully constraining the model allows for robust determination of polymer brush compositional profiles. This work highlights that an appropriate combination of flexibility and constraint must be used with polymer brush systems to ensure the veracity of the analysis. The code used in this analysis is provided, enabling the reproduction of the results and the application of the method to similar problems.},

It was found that the conventional device structure had power conversion efficiencies two and a half times that of the inverted device, 9.0% versus 4.0%. Through a combination of Shockley equivalent circuit fitting, optical modelling, and light intensity dependence photocurrent measurements we identified that the origin of the power losses for the inverted architecture relative to the conventional device structure arose from a larger component of bimolecular recombination. Neutron reflectometry measurements showed that the origin of the larger bimolecular recombination losses for the inverted device was due to the PC71BM phase separating, with a PC71BM rich layer located near the anode reducing the hole extraction efficiency.},

    abstract = {Hypothesis
    Anionic surfactants have been reported to interact with poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM), suppressing its thermoresponse. Scattering and NMR studies of the anionic sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) system propose that the PNIPAM-surfactant interaction is purely hydrophobic. However, prior phenomenological investigations of a range of surfactant identities (anionic, cationic, nonionic) show that only anionic surfactants affect the thermoresponse and conformation of PNIPAM, implying that the hydrophilic head–group also contributes. Crucially, the phenomenological experiments do not measure the affinity of the tested surfactants to the polymer, only their effect on its behaviour.
    Experiments
    We study the adsorption of six surfactants within a planar PNIPAM brush system, elucidating the polymer conformation, thermoresponse, and surfactant adsorption kinetics using ellipsometry, neutron reflectometry (NR), optical reflectometry and the quartz crystal microbalance technique. NR is used to measure the distribution of surfactants within the brush.
    Findings
    We find that only anionic surfactants modify the structure and thermoresponse of PNIPAM, with the greater affinity of anionic surfactants for PNIPAM (relative to cationic and nonionic surfactants) being the primary reason for this behaviour. These results show that the surfactant head–group has a more critical role in mediating PNIPAM-surfactant interaction than previously reported. Taking inspiration from prior molecular dynamics work on the PEO-surfactant system, we propose an interaction mechanism for PNIPAM and SDS that reconciles evidence for hydrophobic interaction with the observed head–group-dependent affinity.},

Here, we investigate the condensation of humid air at low subcooling condition (11 °C), similar to conditions for natural dew capture, and explore how water contact angle and contact angle hysteresis affect the rates of water capture. We compare water collection on three families of surfaces: (i) hydrophilic (polyethylene oxide, MPEO) and hydrophobic (polydimethylsiloxane, PDMS) molecularly thin coatings grafted on smooth silicon wafers, which produce slippery covalently attached liquid surfaces (SCALSs), with low contact angle hysteresis (CAH = 6°); (ii) the same coatings grafted on rougher glass, with high CAH (20°–25°); (iii) hydrophilic polymer surfaces [poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone), PNVP] with high CAH (30°). Upon exposure to water, the MPEO SCALS swell, which likely further increases their droplet shedding ability. MPEO and PDMS coatings collect similar volume of water (around 5 l m−2 day−1), both when they are SCALS and non-slippery. Both MPEO and PDMS layers collect about 20\\% more water than PNVP surfaces. We present a basic model showing that, under low heat flux conditions, on all MPEO and PDMS layers, the droplets are so small (600–2000 µm) that there is no/low heat conduction resistance across the droplets, irrespective of the exact value of contact angle and CAH. As the time to first droplet departure is much faster on MPEO SCALS (28 min) than on PDMS SCALS (90 min), slippery hydrophilic surfaces are preferable in dew collection applications where the collection time frame is limited.}",

abstract = {Abstract The effect of electron-beam patterning on the water uptake and ionic conductivity of Nafion films using a combination of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, quartz crystal microbalance studies, neutron reflectometry, and impedance spectroscopy is reported. The aim is to further characterize the nanoscale patterned Nafion structures recently used as a key element in novel ion-to-electron transducers by Gluschke et al. To enable this, the electron beam patterning process is developed for large areas, achieving patterning speeds approaching 1 cm2 h−1, and patterned areas as large as 7 cm2 for the neutron reflectometry studies. It is ultimately shown that electron-beam patterning affects both the water uptake and the ionic conductivity, depending on film thickness. Type-II adsorption isotherm behavior is seen for all films. For thick films (≈230 nm), a strong reduction in water uptake with electron-beam patterning is found. In contrast, for thin films (≈30 nm), electron-beam patterning enhances water uptake. Notably, for either thickness, the reduction in ionic conductivity arising from electron-beam patterning is kept to less than an order of magnitude. Mechanisms are proposed for the observed behavior based on the known complex morphology of Nafion films to motivate future studies of electron-beam processed Nafion.}

abstract = {Slippery covalently-attached liquid surfaces (SCALS) with low contact angle hysteresis (CAH, <5◦) and nanoscale thickness display impressive anti-adhesive properties, similar to lubricant-infused surfaces. Their efficacy is generally attributed to the liquid-like mobility of the constituent tethered chains. However, the precise physico-chemical properties that facilitate this mobility are unknown, hindering rational design. This work quantifies the chain length, grafting density, and microviscosity of a range of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) SCALS, elucidating the nanostructure responsible for their properties. Three prominent methods are used to produce SCALS, with characterization carried out via single-molecule force measurements, neutron reflectometry, and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. CO2 snow-jet cleaning was also shown to reduce the CAH of SCALS via a modification of their grafting density. SCALS behavior can be predicted by reduced grafting density, Σ, with the lowest water CAH achieved at Σ ≈ 2. This study provides the first direct examination of SCALS grafting density, chain length, and microviscosity and supports the hypothesis that SCALS properties stem from a balance of layer uniformity and mobility.}

    abstract = {Hypersaline environments are ubiquitous in nature and are found in myriad technological processes. Recent empirical studies have revealed a significant discrepancy between the predicted and observed screening lengths at high salt concentrations, a phenomenon referred to as underscreening. Herein we investigate underscreening using a cationic polyelectrolyte brush as an exemplar. Poly(2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl)trimethylammonium (PMETAC) brushes were synthesised and their internal structural changes and swelling response monitored with neutron reflectometry and spectroscopic ellipsometry. Both techniques revealed a monotonic brush collapse as the concentration of symmetric monovalent electrolyte increased. However, a non-monotonic change in brush thickness was observed in all multivalent electrolytes at higher electrolyte concentrations, known as re-entrant swelling; indicative of underscreening. For all electrolytes, numerical self-consistent field theory predictions align with experimental studies in the low salt concentration (Debye–Hu ̈ckel) region. Analysis suggests that the classical theory of electrolytes is insufficient to describe the screening lengths observed at high salt concentrations and that the re-entrant polyelectrolyte brush swelling in the high salt concentration region is consistent with regular underscreening.}

    abstract = {Hypothesis
    Understanding the complex interactions between polymers and surfactants is required to optimise commercially relevant systems such as paint, toothpaste and detergent. Neutral polymers complex with surfactants, forming ‘pearl necklace’ structures that are often conceptualised as pseudo-polyelectrolytes. Here we pose two questions to test the limits of this analogy: Firstly, in the presence of salt, do these polymer-surfactant systems behave like polyelectrolytes? Secondly, do polymer-surfactant complexes resist geometric confinement like polyelectrolytes?
    Experiments
    We test the limits of the pseudo-polyelectrolyte analogy through studying a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) brush in the presence of sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS). Brushes are ideal for interrogating pseudo-polyelectrolytes, as neutral and polyelectrolyte brushes exhibit distinct and well understood behaviours. Spectroscopic ellipsometry, quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D), and neutron reflectometry (NR) were used to monitor the behaviour and structure of the PNIPAM-SDS system as a function of NaCl concentration. The ability of the PNIPAM-SDS complex to resist geometric confinement was probed with NR.
    Findings
    At a fixed SDS concentration below the zero-salt CMC, increasing NaCl concentration Image 1 promoted brush swelling due to an increase in osmotic pressure, not dissimilar to a weak polyelectrolyte. At these salt concentrations, the swelling of the brush could be described by a single parameter: the effective CMC. However, at high NaCl concentrations (e.g., Image 2) no brush collapse was observed at all (non-zero) concentrations of SDS studied, contrary to what is seen for many polyelectrolytes. Study of the polymer-surfactant system under confinement revealed that the physical volume of surfactant dominates the structure of the strongly confined system, which further differentiates it from the polyelectrolyte case.}

    abstract = {Hypothesis
    Graphene oxide-based nanotechnology has aroused a great interest due to its applications in the biomedical and optoelectronic fields. The wide use of these materials makes it necessary to study its potential toxicity associated with the inhalation of Graphene Oxide (GO) nanoparticles and its interaction with the lung surfactant. Langmuir monolayers have proven to be an excellent tool for studying the properties of the lung surfactant and the effect of intercalation of nanoparticles on its structure and properties. Therefore, to know the origin of the phospholipids/GO interaction and the structure of the lipid layer with GO, in this work we study the effect of the insertion of GO sheets on a Langmuir film of 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine (DPPC).
    Experiments
    Surface pressure-area isotherms, Neutron (NR) and X-ray Reflectivity (XRR) and Grazing Incidence X-ray Diffraction (GIXD) measurements of hydrogenated and deuterated DPPC monolayers with and without GO have been carried out.
    Findings
    The results outline a strong interaction between the GO and the zwitterionic form of DPPC and prove that GO is in three regions of the DPPC monolayer, the aliphatic chains of DPPC, the head groups and water in the subphase. Comparison between results obtained with hydrogenated and deuterated DPPC allows concluding that both, electrostatic attractions, and dispersion forces are responsible of the interaction GO/DPPC. Results also demonstrated that the insertion of GO into the DPPC aliphatic chains does not induce significant changes on unit cell of DPPC.}

    abstract = { Pertinent to cryopreservation as well as energy storage and batteries, nonaqueous electrolytes and their mixtures with water were investigated. In particular, specific ion-induced effects on the modulation of a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) brush were investigated in various dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)–water solvent mixtures. Spectroscopic ellipsometry and neutron reflectometry were employed to probe changes in brush swelling and structure, respectively. In water-rich solvents (i.e., pure water and 6 mol \% DMSO), PNIPAM undergoes a swollen to collapsed thermotransition with increasing temperature, whereby a forward Hofmeister series was noted; K+ and Li+ electrolytes composed of SCN– and I– salted-in (stabilized) PNIPAM chains, and electrolytes of Cl– and Br– salted-out (destabilized) the polymer. The cation was seen to play a lesser role than that of the anion, merely modulating the magnitude of the anion effect. In 70 mol \% DMSO, a collapsed to swollen thermotransition was noted for PNIPAM. Here, concentration-dependent specific ion effects were observed; a forward series was observed in 0.2 mol \% electrolytes, whereas increasing the electrolyte concentration to 0.9 mol \% led to a series reversal. While no thermotransition was observed in pure DMSO, a solvent-induced specific ion series reversal was noted; SCN– destabilized the brush and Cl– stabilized the brush. Both series reversals are attributed to the delicate balance of interactions between the solvent, solute (ion), and substrate (brush). Namely, the stability of the solvent clusters was hypothesized to drive polymer solvation. }

	abstract = { Solid-supported polymer membranes (SSPMs) offer great potential in material and life sciences due to their increased mechanical stability and robustness compared to solid-supported lipid membranes. However, there is still a need for expanding the functionality of SSPMs by combining them with synthetic molecular assemblies. In this study, SSPMs served as a flexible matrix for the insertion of resorcinarene monomers and their self-assembly into functional hexameric resorcinarene capsules. Resorcinarene capsules provide a large cavity with affinity specifically for cationic and polyhydroxylated molecules. While the capsules are stable in apolar organic solvents, they disassemble when placed in polar solvents, which limits their application. Here, a solvent-assisted approach was used for copolymer membrane deposition on solid support and simultaneous insertion of the resorcinarene monomers. By investigation of the molecular factors and conditions supporting the codeposition of the copolymer and resorcinarene monomers, a stable hybrid membrane was formed. The hydrophobic domain of the membrane played a crucial role by providing a sufficiently thick and apolar layer, allowing for the self-assembly of the capsules. The capsules were functional inside the membranes by encapsulating cationic guests from the aqueous environment. The amount of resorcinarene capsules in the hybrid membranes was quantified by a combination of quartz-crystal microbalance with dissipation and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry, while the membrane topography and layer composition were analyzed by atomic force microscopy and neutron reflectometry. Functional resorcinarene capsules inside SSPMs can serve as dynamic sensors and potentially as cross-membrane transporters, thus holding great promise for the development of smart surfaces. }

abstract = {X-ray reflectometry (XRR) is a powerful tool for probing the structural characteristics of nanoscale films and layered structures, which is an important field of nanotechnology and is often used in semiconductor and optics manufacturing. This study introduces a novel approach for conducting quantitative high-resolution millisecond monochromatic XRR measurements. This is an order of magnitude faster than in previously published work. Quick XRR (qXRR) enables real time and {\it in situ} monitoring of nanoscale processes such as thin film formation during spin coating. A record qXRR acquisition time of 1.4ms is demonstrated for a static gold thin film on a silicon sample. As a second example of this novel approach, dynamic {\it in situ} measurements are performed during PMMA spin coating onto silicon wafers and fast fitting of XRR curves using machine learning is demonstrated. This investigation primarily focuses on the evolution of film structure and surface morphology, resolving for the first time with qXRR the initial film thinning via mass transport and also shedding light on later thinning via solvent evaporation. This innovative millisecond qXRR technique is of significance for {\it in situ} studies of thin film deposition. It addresses the challenge of following intrinsically fast processes, such as thin film growth of high deposition rate or spin coating. Beyond thin film growth processes, millisecond XRR has implications for resolving fast structural changes such as photostriction or diffusion processes.},

Those measurements often comprise a large number of reflectivity curves acquired over a narrow q range, with each individual curve having lower information content compared to a typical steady-state measurement. In this work, we present an approach that leverages existing reinforcement learning tools to model time-resolved data to extract the time evolution of structure parameters. By mapping the reflectivity curves taken at different times as individual states, we use the Soft Actor-Critic algorithm to optimize the time series of structure parameters that best represent the evolution of an electrochemical system. We show that this approach constitutes an elegant solution to the modeling of time-resolved neutron reflectometry data. }

    abstract = {The study investigates the interactions of viral fusion peptides from influenza (E4K and Ac-E4K) and human immunodeficiency virus (gp41 and Ac-gp41) with planar lipid bilayers. A combination of surface-sensitive techniques, including quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D), Langmuir area-pressure isotherms with Micro-Brewster angle microscopy, and neutron reflectometry, was employed. Differences in the interactions of the viral fusion peptides with lipid bilayers featuring ordered and disordered phases, as well as lipid rafts, were revealed. The HIV fusion peptide (gp41) exhibited strong binding to the DOPC/DOPS bilayer, comprising a liquid disordered phase, with neutron reflectometry (NR) showing interaction with the bilayer's headgroup area. Conversely, negligible binding was observed with lipid bilayers in a liquid ordered phase. Notably, the influenza peptide (E4K) demonstrated slower binding kinetics with DOPC/DOPS bilayers and distinct interactions compared to gp41, as observed through QCM-D. This suggests different mechanisms of interaction with the lipid bilayers: one peptide interacts more within the headgroup region, while the other is more involved in transmembrane interactions. These findings hold implications for understanding viral fusion mechanisms and developing antimicrobials and antivirals targeting membrane interactions. The differential binding behaviours of the viral fusion peptides underscore the importance of considering membrane composition and properties in therapeutic strategy design}

    abstract = {Oppositely charged polymer-surfactant systems are expected to interact with formation of coacervate complexes near composition of charge-neutrality. Such behaviour is widely used in formulated products (e.g. household and personal care), where the co-deposition of coacervates and active ingredients on various surfaces is triggered by dilution. A transition towards the use of more sustainable ingredients is currently ongoing as a response to the need of more environmentally conscious choices in production, albeit slowed down by the often more complex and not fully understood bulk and interfacial behaviour of new ingredients. In this work, mixtures of a medium-chain fatty acid (sodium decanoate) and two grades of bio-based cationic modified inulin were studied. The phase behaviour was determined in a wide composition matrix. The formation of coacervate complexes was observed for the mixture with the higher charge density polymer at a surfactant concentration of 1-3wt%, close to the surfactant critical micellar concentration in pure water. Such behaviour was confirmed by DLS and SAXS data, suggesting surfactant-polymer complexation in a concentrated phase of packed micelles with a micelle-to-micelle distance of ~4.5nm. In situ ellipsometry and neutron reflectometry experiments were conducted to study the effect on surface deposition when diluting. The ellipsometry showed an adsorbed mass of ~1.3-1.9mg/m2, consistent with the deposition of a coacervate layer, and considerably higher than the neat, adsorbed polymer layer of ~0.3mg/m2. In the case of the neutron reflectometry experiments, dilution was performed before contact with the surface (pre-mixing), and no adsorption of coacervates was observed, but rather the adsorption of a polymer layer (0.49-0.85mg/m2). The different results obtained with the different techniques highlight the kinetic nature of bulk coacervate formation and deposition, and the competition between these two phenomena. Maximal deposition can be achieved if one can control this time window either by tuning the composition of the system or the experimental set-up, to mimic the conditions of a specific application.}

These interfaces play crucial roles across a multitude of fields, including materials science, biophysics, and nanotechnology. Understanding the nanostructure and properties of these interfaces is fundamental for optimising their performance and designing novel functional materials. In recent years, reflectometry techniques, in particular neutron reflectometry, have emerged as powerful tools for elucidating the intricate nanostructure of soft matter interfaces with remarkable precision and depth. This review provides an overview of selected recent developments in reflectometry and their applications for illuminating the nanostructure of diffuse interfaces. We explore various principles and methods of neutron and X-ray reflectometry, as well as ellipsometry, and discuss advances in their experimental setups and data analysis approaches. Improvements to experimental neutron reflectometry methods have enabled greater time resolution in kinetic measurements and elucidation of diffuse structure under shear or confinement, while innovation in analysis protocols has significantly reduced data processing times, facilitated co-refinement of reflectometry data from multiple instruments and provided greater-than-ever confidence in proposed structural models. Furthermore, we highlight some significant research findings enabled by these techniques, revealing the organisation, dynamics, and interfacial phenomena at the nanoscale. We also discuss future directions and potential advancements in reflectometry techniques. By shedding light on the nanostructure of diffuse interfaces, reflectometry techniques enable the rational design and tailoring of interfaces with enhanced properties and functionalities.}

High-density lipoproteins (HDL) primarily engage in reverse cholesterol transport, while low-density lipoproteins (LDL) predominantly deposit lipids, affecting cardiovascular health with a well-known role in the formation of the atherosclerotic plaque. In addition, lipoproteins play an important role in neutralizing bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS), the major component of Gram-negative bacterial outer membranes, which act as potent TLR4 agonists and can trigger severe immune responses. Lipoproteins bind LPS in plasma, with HDL showing strong binding affinity and LDL contributing to LPS clearance under specific conditions. Here, we explore the interaction of LDL and human serum albumin (HSA), another serum lipid-binding protein, with model lipid bilayers containing either phospholipids or LPS. Using neutron reflectometry and attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy, we characterize lipid transfer processes influenced by calcium levels and lipid composition. Calcium plays a key role in receptor-mediated LDL binding, but less is known on its effect on LDL-mediated lipid transfer in the absence of LDL receptors. Our results show that elevated calcium levels enhance stable LDL adsorption onto mammalian phospholipid-cholesterol membranes, promoting lipid cargo deposition despite the absence of specific LDL-receptors. Conversely, LDL showed no stable binding to LPS reconstituted in asymmetric outer membrane models but was able to deposit phospholipids in the membrane. In contrast, HSA removed lipids from mammalian membranes and exhibited minimal interaction with LPS-containing models. The findings elucidate the distinct lipid exchange mechanisms of LDL and HSA and their roles in modulating lipid transfer at membrane interfaces. Receptor-free enhanced LDL lipid deposition in calcium-enriched environments may have implications for cardiovascular disease progression. Conversely, the minimal interaction of LDL with bacterial LPS suggests a limited ability to extract LPS from membrane environments. This study provides structural insights into the interplay between lipoproteins, calcium, and membrane composition, with relevance to atherosclerosis and systemic endotoxemia.}

In this study, we have used neutron reflectometry to reveal the phase transformation during thin film growth driven by different annealing strategies. We examined the silicide formation when a thin layer of vanadium undergoes reactive diffusion with a silicon dioxide film on silicon at temperatures from 650–800 °C. To further investigate the time evolution of different phases under various annealing temperatures, a chemical model was developed and subsequent simulations were performed. The results of this model were validated using X-ray diffraction and cross-sectional TEM analysis. Correlations were observed between the structure and superconducting properties. Over-annealing films leads to complete depletion of the SiO2 barrier layer, forming diffuse interfaces and driving the formation of undesirable silicon-rich silicides. Avoiding this by controlling time and temperature, allows higher quality superconducting films to be achieved. The Tc of the films was found to be 13 K, and the annealing conditions influenced the critical fields and the paramagnetic Meissner effect near Tc. For optimally-annealed films, superconducting order parameters were calculated.}

Resilin-mimetic polypeptides (RMPs) are intrinsically disordered biomacromolecules that exhibit multi-stimuli responsive behaviour, including reversible dual-phase thermal behaviour forming self-assembled nano- to microstructures. However, there is a limited understanding of the effect of morphological features of RMP-based nanostructures, and their influence on surface properties. Therefore, in this study, a family of responsive RMP-based nanostructured coatings (nano-coacervates, nanogels and nano-bioconjugates) are fabricated to investigate their various surface properties that influence cell-surface interactions. The effects of their physicochemical properties, such as conformation, packing density, charge, roughness, and stiffness, are investigated using atomic force microscopy, neutron scattering and reflectometry techniques. Biocompatibility and microbiological testing show that these nanostructured switchable responsive coatings can be applied to a wide range of substrates to modulate biofilm formation and attribute antimicrobial characteristics. The developed nanocoatings have the potential to find applications in many areas, including implantable medical devices, and drug delivery.}

    abstract = {The advancement of materials science and application in complex multi-component systems is increasingly dependent on high-throughput studies that can efficiently explore the vast compositional space of materials. However, traditional sample preparation methods often struggle to keep pace with modern characterization techniques and data analysis capabilities. To address this challenge, we present a vacuum deposition chamber designed to produce gradient thin films. This chamber enables the deposition of single-component films with thickness gradients or multi-component films with continuous compositional gradients in a single experimental run. Our approach features a custom-designed moving shutter mechanism, which allows precise control over the deposition process and eliminates the need for multiple samples with discrete compositions. This significantly reduces research time and minimizes inconsistencies associated with the production of several individual samples. As a proof of concept, we deposited single-component gradient films of pentacene and diindenoperylene, which are widely studied in thin films for organic optoelectronic applications, and their corresponding binary gradient film. X-ray reflectivity measurements confirm the linear thickness gradients in the former and the linear compositional gradient in the latter samples.},

    abstract = {One of the challenges in achieving industrial enzymatic depolymerization of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is the rapid loss of catalytic activity leading to incomplete polymer hydrolysis. While there are several possible explanations for this phenomenon, there is a lack of methods that can measure polymer hydrolysis directly, which makes it challenging to reliably infer mechanistic details. Here, we introduce neutron reflectivity of polymer thin films as a method that allows for direct assessment of the hydrolysis rate of polymers like PET. Through matching and variation of the isotopic contrasts, one can directly observe the reaction kinetics, while simultaneously obtaining structural information on the polymer/enzyme/water system. We show that the Michaelis-Menten theory describes well the enzymatic chain scission kinetics, whereas the alkaline one follows a (pseudo)-first order kinetics. At the concentrations used in the experiments, the areal density of enzymes at the polymer surface is very low, ruling out surface passivation or overcrowding as inhibition mechanisms.}

  abstract = {Hypothesis Membrane proteins serve a wide range of vital roles in the functioning of living organisms. They are responsible for many cellular functions, such as signalling, ion and molecule transport, binding and catalytic reactions. Compared to other classes of proteins, determining membrane protein structures remains a challenge, in large part due to the difficulty in establishing experimental conditions that can preserve the correct conformation and function of the protein in isolation from its native environment. Many therapeutics target membrane proteins which are accessible on the surface of cells. Here we hypothesize that the observed efficacy of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that interact with bacterial membranes may in part be associated with their triggering of a conformational change in the Mechansensitive Ion Channel of Large Conductance (MscL).
  Experiments We investigated the ion channel in lipid vesicles and in a planar lipid bilayer. We developed a novel method for protein-lipid planar bilayer formation, avoiding the use of detergents. By using a polymeric tether our planar membrane mimetic was not constrained by the underlying solid substrate, making it sufficiently flexible to allow for increases in bilayer curvature and changes in membrane tension. We used quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D), and polarised neutron reflectivity (PNR) to show the formation of MscL containing phospholipid bilayers, tethered with a high density PEG layer onto gold substrates from vesicle rupture. The MscL containing vesicles were separately characterised with small angle neutron scattering (SANS).
  Findings MscL was expressed into vesicles using cell free protein expression. Analysing these vesicles with small angle neutron scattering, the radius of gyration of the protein was determined to be between 26-29 Å, consistent with the crystal structure of individual MscL channels. The MscL composition of the formed bilayer was 14%v/v, close to the initial composition of the vesicles, and a protein protrusion extending ca. 46 Å into the solvent was determined by PNR. Addition of 1.6 and 3.2 μM pexiganan resulted in a decrease in the protrusion of MscL (from ∼46 to ∼38 Å). To our knowledge, these findings represent the first direct experimental evidence of a structural change in the C-terminus containing protrusion of MscL, triggered by an antimicrobial peptide.}

Purpose of this work was to better understand the interactions between these proteins and selected lipids, due to their potential consequences on interfacial functionality of protein preparations. .Legumin and vicilin isolates were obtained after isoelectric precipitation followed by further purification using size exclusion chromatography. The interactions were studied using DOPC (1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine): DOPE (1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3 phosphoethanolamine) as mixed supported lipid bilayers, using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) and complementary neutron reflectometry (NR) experiments. This approach, fundamental in nature, allowed to observe interactions at the molecular level in the presence of phospholipids interfaces. QCM-D data suggested that legumin did not show any significant affinity for the investigated lipid interface. On the contrary there were changes in the bilayer with vicilin injection. NR experiments also supported these observations, and modelling of the experimental data also suggested a structural reorganization of of the bilayer after vicilin injection and rinsing. This unique fundamental study of legumin and vicilin leads to the hypothesis that vicilin forms complexes with phospholipids bilayers which can be dispersed and removed by rinsing. Altogether, this study adds to the current debate on the importance of endogenous and non-endogenous phospholipids presence in affecting surface functionality of pea protein isolates.}

Gram-positive bacteria, exemplified by Staphylococcus aureus, are among the most common human bacterial pathogens, with methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) now established globally. Daptomycin is a last-line anti-staphylococcal antimicrobial that uniquely targets the bacterial membrane with bactericidal effects. Here, we developed lipid-based nanoparticles, namely cubosomes, to encapsulate daptomycin for targeted delivery via lipid-mediated interactions. Daptomycin-loaded cubosomes synergistically killed 14 clinical MRSA isolates in vitro compared with daptomycin or cubosomes alone. This synergy between daptomycin and cubosome was mediated by cubosomes docking on the S. aureus cell surface, releasing daptomycin for membrane extraction and penetration, followed by lipid cubosome infusion into S. aureus membranes. Using a murine septicemia model, daptomycin-loaded cubosomes significantly reduced the organ bacterial burden of MRSA. Together, these data showed that multifunctional lipid nanocarriers can potentiate the bactericidal activity of daptomycin using a membrane-targeted trojan-horse-like mechanism.},

    abstract = {Herein, the conformation of planar polymer brushes of varying chain length and grafting density is investigated, comparing experiments with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The grafting densities investigated cover a wide range: from the mushroom regime to a dense brush. Experimentally, poly(ethylene glycol)methylethermethacrylate (MN = 300) based polymer brushes were synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization. The conformation was characterized by neutron reflectometry. At room temperature, below the lower critical solution temperature, the extracted polymer density profiles reveal a stretched conformation that becomes more pronounced with increasing grafting density. The presented MD simulations employ a new approach to “synthesize” polymer chains from the grafting surface. Chains can only grow when a free monomer approaches an active chain-end, analogous to the experimental synthesis. The resulting polymer brushes exhibit a more stretched polymer conformation, differing significantly from the usual monodisperse case. The thereby induced intrinsic polydispersity increases with increasing grafting density due to chain crowding during growth. For the first time, experimentally acquired polymer volume fraction profiles, in a good solvent, are matched to those of MD-simulated brushes by comparing grafting density lengths. Normalized profiles show very good agreement between experiments and simulations, even reproducing the extent of stretching.},

The films comprised insoluble material extracted from aerosol particulate matter collected from the atmosphere of a broadleaf woodland; sampled above and below the canopy across spring, summer, and winter. The measurements presented here act as a proxy for oxidation reactions at the air–water interface of broadleaf woodland atmospheric aqueous aerosols. The material extracted from the woodland atmosphere formed stable surfactant-like thin films at the air–water interface, with maximum thicknesses of 30 Å and neutron scattering length densities between 0.1 × 10−6Å −2 and 2.5 × 10−6Å −2. Oxidation by hydroxyl radicals reduced the amount of interfacial material, leaving an oxidation-resistant fraction of 20%–60% of the original film. The values of the surface reaction coefficients, determined by KM-SUB, for the reaction of hydroxyl radicals with woodland films were approximately 10−7 cm2 s−1. Film half-lives were estimated to be 1—2 h in typical day-time hydroxyl radical concentrations and 2 days–1 week in night-time concentrations. Thus, organic material extracted from temperate, broadleaf woodland aerosol can form thin, stable surfactant films at the air–water interface that can be partially removed by the gas-phase hydroxyl radical at a significant enough rate to warrant inclusion in atmospheric models.}

Spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements were employed to kinetically track the changes in thickness of the triolein film after the introduction of 2 ppm Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase (TLL). Neutron reflectometry experiments revealed the internal structure of the thin films before and after TLL digestion{,} while fast kinetic measurements capturing changes to the reflectivity profile throughout lipolysis. Both techniques revealed significant variations in the physical properties and enzymatic conversion of the triolein films between pD 7.0 and pD 8.5."

  abstract = {This study systematically investigated the interactions of the tumor biomarker alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) with planar lipid membranes using neutron reflectometry, quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring, and atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. By examining a range of lipid compositions—including charged, neutral, and nanodomain-containing bilayers—we dissected the molecular mechanisms governing protein–membrane interactions. AFP consistently exhibited stronger interactions than BSA. While both proteins showed negligible binding to zwitterionic POPC bilayers, BSA only interacted significantly with negatively charged POPS membranes. In contrast, AFP strongly engaged with both SM/CHOL nanodomains and POPS-containing bilayers, leading to protein incorporation and lipid extraction, respectively. On positively charged DOTAP membranes, AFP formed a stable adsorbed layer. These findings reveal how lipid composition modulates protein adsorption, insertion, and membrane integrity, offering new mechanistic insights into the differential binding affinities of AFP and BSA. The results underscore the importance of protein–lipid interactions in clinical assays for blood tumor biomarkers, as these interactions may influence the formation of protein–lipid complexes and impact detection accuracy. This work may guide the optimization of biosensing strategies, particularly for glycosylated biomarkers, to enhance the sensitivity and reliability of clinical diagnostics.}
