The aim of this project is to develop an understanding of the relationships between the processing, nanoscale structure and device performance of bulk heterojunction,...

Emusifier distribution in concentrated dispersions

This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the solution aggregation of collagen based polypeptides and their interactions with model surfactants....

Lecithin is a natural zwitterionic gemini surfactant that self-assembles in a hydrocarbon solvent, forming spherical or ellipsoidal inverse micelles, which grow into giant...

Oils are commonly used in personal care industry as emollients. Owing to their undesirable feel they are formulated in oil in water emulsions form. Emulsions contains...

This proposal aims to explore a cheaper and more environmental-benign surfactant system for yielding efficient water/CO2 microemulsions. The new surfactants permit high...

Pluronic micelles are attractive candidates as drug carriers. Despite the abundance of data on their association with various drugs, there is, in contrast, very little...

Soluble pentacene derivatives are high performing semiconductors for use in organic transistors offering low cost solution processability, and potential for migration to...

The efficiency of silicon solar cells is limited to 29%. One possible way of breaking this limit uses a process called singlet fission, converting a high energy photon into two...

This proposal is part of a project based on understanding the formation of gels in suspensions of partially oxidised cellulose nanofibrils and small amounts of additives, such...

We have recently developed novel ternary lipopolyplex vectors (i.e. gene delivery vectors containing cationic lipid, plasmid DNA and a cationic peptide) in which, for the first...
