This research is open only to US citizens. The amphiphilic nature of the lipid membrane makes it a natural system to study for potential applications in environmental cleanup. The presence of both a polar surface and a hydrophobic layer in lipid membranes or monolayers allow these superstructures to interact with a wide range of chemically different species.
Research focuses on understanding the physical properties of amphiphiles with chelating headgroups.
Methods to immobilize the lipids on solid substrates and the utilization of these novel materials for environmental cleanup are explored.
