Structure of Cellulose Nanofibril Gels with Alcohols
Our group has been working partially oxidized cellulose nanofibrils which form gels in aqueous formulations. Recently we have observed that these fibrils also gel when dialysed... -
Structure of Cellulose Nanofibril Gels
This proposal is part of a new project based on understanding the formation of gels in suspensions of partially oxidised cellulose nanofibrils with small amounts of salt or... -
Interactions of modified clupeines with Gram-negative model bilayers
Clupeine is isolated from herring and is an example of a protamine, which are cationic antimicrobial peptides occurring in the sperm cells of some fish. Protamines are active... -
Quantitative measurement of muonium photochemical reaction kinetics of TIPS-P...
Our first completed photo-musr experiment on 6,13-bis(tri-iso propylsilylethynyl) pentacene (TIPS-Pn) has recently been accepted for publication. We observed a significant... -
Revealing the Structure behind the Synergistic Phase Behavior of the Ternary ...
The aim of this collaborative proposal is to unravel micro- and nano-structures underlying unusually high solution viscosities from mixed surfactant systems. SANS is a unique... -
Generation of 3D-networks by mixing inexpensive HC-polymers, amphiphiles, and...
For the last two decades, many polymers have been tested to increase CO2 viscosity for enhanced oil recovery using CO2 (CO2-EOR). Unfortunately, conventional HC-polymers were... -
Probing the viability of water-in-CO2 microemulsions with Headgroup-free amph...
Recent SANS studies of an unusual headgroup-free surfactant (Nohead FC6-HC4) produced data that implied the formation of W/CO2 microemulsions (MEs) at a particular pressure (P)... -
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... -
W/CO2 nanodispersions as an energy-saving nanoreactor separable by pressure a...
Recent studies implied an unusual headgroup (HG)-free, fluorocarbon (FC) surfactant Nohead FC6-HC4 to form stable, W/CO2 nanodispersions (W/C NDs). With the unusual surfactant...
