Structure in model fire-fighting foams
The aim is to probe the structure in and of foams for three common industrial fluorotelomer surfactants used in fire-fighting foam formulations using SANS. The structure of... -
Worm-like reversed micelles with a CO2-philic surfactant
Hydrotropes (Figure 3 A-C) are known viscosifying agents with surfactants in organic solvents1 and interestingly now in supercritical CO2 (scCO2)5. The mechanism is... -
CO2 foams stabilized by W/CO2 interfacially active hydrocarbon surfactants an...
CO2 foams can be formed in water/carbon dioxide (W/CO2) mixtures with the aid of W/CO2 interfacially active hydrocarbon surfactants and surface treated silica nanoparticles... -
Surface layers in organosols
This research project addresses an overlooked, but fundamental issue of colloid science: surfactant adsorption dynamics at nanoparticle-organosolvent interfaces. Adsorption of...
