Polyurethane foams (PUFs) are commonly prepared by mixing Pluronic type copolymers and isocyanate reactive monomers in the presence of additives e.g. catalysts, blowing agent...

Surfactants are known to charge colloidal surfaces in nonpolar solvents, but only a small number of different molecules have been explored. Recent experiments demonstrate that...

Solventless protein liquids (SPLS) represent a novel form of biological matter. Recently we reported on the preparation and properties of a solvent-free liquid protein based on...

This proposal is centered on the preparation of nanoscale fibres prepared by electrospinning and is the focus of the final year PhD programme of Saeed Mohan. These experiments...

It is the aim of the proposal is to perform small angle neutron scattering (SANS) studies combined with contrast variation to determine the size and structure of the...

Graphene has been touted as a “material of everything”, but for all its promise it does have some drawbacks, especially in its poor dispersibility and instability in water (and...

The aim is to probe the mixed micellar compositions of three common industrial fluorotelomer surfactants used in fire-fighting foam formulations (Figure 1) using contrast...

This proposal is the first part of a fundamental study aiming to improve understanding about technically challenging water-in-CO2 (w/c) microemulsions, by firstly investigating...

This proposal is part of a research programme which is focused on nano-fibres prepared by electrospinning. The programme is centered on developing an understanding of the...
