With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce reliance on palm and crude oil derived materials, it is vital that the Home and Personal Care industry...

The proposal aims to explore the oil-in-water (brine) high internal phase emulsion systems (HIPEs) formed by nonylphenol ethoxylate surfactants using contrast variation SANS...

Solventless protein liquids (SPLS) represent a novel form of biological matter. Recently we reported on the preparation and properties of a solvent-free liquid protein based on...

The idea is to be able to ¿dial-up¿ the length and properties of CO2-philic and organo-philic rod-like micelles. This proposal aims to explore mixed surfactant systems in...

This proposal explores headgroup-free, fluorocarbon-hydrocarbon hybrid compounds able toform viscous elongated aggregates in supercritical CO2 with the aim of improving...

Recent results show that gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) can be included into microgels (MGs). UV-visible spectra (Figure 1) suggest the original Au-NP sols retain their size and...

SANS will be used to determine the structure of nanotube dispersions formed by H-bond stacking of cyclopeptides coated with a sheath of stabilizing polymer. Cyclopeptide...

This proposal seeks to exploit contrast variation SANS to study a multi-component system, spanning a wide range of colloidal length scales. The multi-component system under...

Due to the naturally low viscosity of liquid CO2 (0.1-1.0 cP pressure/temperature dependent) the CO2 is prone to ¿fingering¿, limiting the efficiency of CO2-EOR [1]. In order to...

This proposal aims to explore composition behaviour of vesicles formed by aqueous mixtures of magnetically active cationic liquid surfactants (MILSs, Figure 3) with the...
