Probing the electroactive structuring of ionic liquids and their solutions: E...
The interfacial structuring of a non-halogenated ionic liquid (IL) will be studied at a gold electrode interface as a function of applied potential, bulk IL concentration and... -
Effect of calcium ions and ionic strength on model bilayer structure
Calcium ions have been shown in a preliminary experiment to have a dramatic effect on the thickness and structure of free supported bilayer films. In this proposal we... -
Probing the electroactive interface of ionic liquids and their solutions
We propose a detailed study of the interfacial structuring of a non-halogenated, and tribologically relevant, ionic liquid (IL) at an electrified interface, as a function of... -
Incorporation of PAN-pyrene swollen micelles in crosslinked polyelectrolyte f...
We have been studying the formation of solid polymer-surfactant films at the air-solution interface formed from cationic surfactants with PEI. We wish to use the micelles... -
Surface activity of fluoroblock copolymers in model marine coatings
Marine coatings are commonly based on silicone polymers, which have a low surface energy and a degree of deformability which contribute to release of marine fouling species. Low... -
Structure and encapsulation of additives in spray coated surfactant templated...
This proposal continues our work into surfactant templated films formed from surfactant/polyelectrolyte solutions. Recently we have been studying the encapsulation of... -
Determining the Electromechanical Response Mechanism of Nanostructured Ionic ...
One of the rapidly developing frontiers in research is focused on the design of materials that have targeted functionalities and tunable responses to external stimuli. A chief...
