The structure of particle stabilised foams
Many formulated products pass through or end up as foams, comprising immiscible millimeter sized bubbles dispersed into an aqueous continuous phase. Frequently, surfactants or... -
AOT stabilized aqueous ferrofluids
The aim of the experiment is to employ SANS to study the physical properties of a novel and very stable aqueous Fe3O4 ferrofluid system stabilized by the commercially available... -
AGGREGATION BEHAVIOUR OF A NOVEL P-AOT SURFACTANT
This proposal aims to provide essential surfactant micellisation structural information of significant interest in its own right but also as key information for our on-going... -
Determination of high shear superstructures in poly (ethylene oxide)/silica d...
High shear in paints and emulsion is common during both processing and application. Spray coating, films rolling and mixing all contaain high shear states. We are interested in... -
Designing polymer therapeutics to diffuse through mucin
Progress in the development of nano-sized hybrid therapeutics and nano-sized drug delivery systems - "nanomedicines" - over the last decade has been remarkable. One key... -
Opening up microemulsion phases in CO2
New types of water-in-CO2 microemulsions using mixed surfactant systems will be investigated by high-pressure SANS (HP-SANS). Exciting new results (see report on RB820030) have... -
Exploring CO2-philic/ CO2-phobic amphiphiles, cross-linkers and HC-polymers f...
Over the last two decades, many polymers have been tested to increase CO2 viscosity for applications in enhanced oil recovery using CO2 (CO2-EOR). Unfortunately, conventional...
