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... -
Optimising graphene-philic surfactants as effective stabilizer for graphene p...
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... -
Optimising chemical structure of CO2-philic hybrid surfactants for stabilisin...
The proposal aims to explore water-in-CO2 (w/c) microemulsions with very promising hybridCO2-philic surfactants. The surfactants have been systematically synthesised... -
Polymer-induced critical pase separation
This proposal concerns a novel approach to phase separation in self-assembling colloidal systems. Microemulsions can be readily formulated to display critical-type phase... -
Use of nitric oxide radicals for the formation of a supramolecular hydrogel
The aim of this proposal is to study the structure of hydrogel systems formed from fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (FMOC) protected peptides, via the use of nitric oxide radicals....
