Latex - structure in binary mixtures - studies of crystallisation and stability
Recent experiments on SANS2D have indicated that small colloidal particles can act as macroions that screen the charged interactions of larger particles. This can cause changes... -
Structure of Colloidal Crystals Near a Solid Surface
The structure of colloidal crystals (dispersions of particles that spontaneously order in a regular array) is known to be influenced by solid boundaries. However there are few... -
Organisation of Latex Particles in Solution and at the Water/Sapphire Interface
Polystyrene latex represents an excellent model system for studies of the physical properties of colloidal particles. The materials can be prepared with controlled size, and... -
Assembly of functionalized nanoparticles at fluid interfaces
To try to understand the variation in surface tension as a function of functionalized gold nanoparticle particle and SDS concentration, we will make measurements of the specular... -
Film formation and water uptake in macroRAFT latices studied by contrast vari...
Latex is made from tiny polymer particles in water. Latex films are used in paints and to manufacture adhesives & inks. Latex is good for the environment, as it does not...
