Electrolyte induced self-assembly of methyl ester sulphonate surfactants
The addition of multivalent counterions (Al3+, Mg2+) induces multilayer adsorption of ionic surfactants at interfaces. It is associated with strong wetting conditions, invoking... -
Revealing the Structure behind the Synergistic Phase Behavior of the Ternary ...
The aim of this collaborative proposal is to unravel micro- and nano-structures underlying unusually high solution viscosities from mixed surfactant systems. SANS is a unique... -
SANS study of the effect of thermal annealing on the morphology of bulk heter...
This projects aims to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between processing conditions, active layer morphology and device performance in polymer solar... -
Surfactant mixtures including a newly designed N-oxide
The applications of surfactant formulations based on N,N dimethylalkylamine oxides (AO) are dramatically increasing. The most widely used AO is the N,N-dimethyldodecyl-1-amine... -
Metallomicroemulsions - a new class of supramolecularly organised metal ions
Incorporation of d- or f-block metals into ligand systems that renders a metal complex surface active or drives its partitioning into surfactant phases enables the localisation... -
Aggregation behaviour in solution of cationic conjugated polymers and oligomers
We extend previous work on aggregates formed by cationic conjugated oligomers in water with surfactants and... -
