We propose to make use of SANS to determine the influence the presence of cuticular plant waxes have on the size, shape and structural properties of various non-ionic surfactants. This work will help explain the wax removal and plasticisation processes that are observed as surfactant micelles are introduced onto plant surfaces, which resultantly significantly increase waxes permeability to water and active ingredients.Furthermore, we will use SANS to investigate how this affect changes with temperature, mimicking the environmental conditions plant waxes would experience. As the amorphous content of waxes is very sensitive to temperature change, we hope for exciting results. We request 4 days of SANS2D beam-time to complete the planned investigation.
