Effect of emulsifier and added preservative on the structure and stability of...
Investigations will be performed to determine the effect of composition on the internal structure of semi-solid oil-in-water emulsions designed to model the GlaxoSmithKline... -
Helimagnetic correlations in FeCl3
The recent discovery of skyrmions and skyrmion lattices in materials with no inversion symmetry and their corresponding potential applications of Skyrmions in magnetic... -
Investigation of cement pore structure evolution in underground repository co...
It is proposed that radioactive waste generated in the Netherlands be buried underground in Boom clay formations. As this will need to be stored for hundreds of thousands of... -
Effect of pH on the shape of oil-in-water microemulsions formed by a zwitteri...
Despite interest in microemulsions as drug delivery vehicles, there is a lack of structural understanding to justify the formulations used. The present study examines the use of... -
SANS study of engine oil gelation
Metal carbonate particles dispersed in dodecane and stabilised with alkyl salicylate surfactants have been shown to aggregate when trace water is added. We have found that... -
Selective adsorption of polymer on Janus particles
Janus particles, bearing two distinct compositions on the surface of the same particle, have attracted much attention recently as a way to finely tune morphology and... -
pH responsive Core-Shell-Corona (CSC) micellar complexes: Corona- and teleche...
Coacervation is an electrostatically-driven liquid-liquid phase separation process, resulting from the association of oppositely charged macro-ions. In this framework,... -
Micellar aggregates of direct and reverse Tetronics for enhanced drug solubil...
Amphiphilic linear surfactants based on PEO and PPO triblock copolymers, known as Pluronics, exhibit a rich polymorphism and have been extensively studied for their applications... -
Electrochemically Growing Hydrogels to Control Stiffness
At high pH many low molecular weight gelators (LMWG) are dispersed in solution. When a trigger is applied to lower the pH the gelator molecules self-assemble into one... -
The Effect of Polydispersity on the Self Assembly of Diblock Copolymers
Block copolymers are of interest due to their ability to undergo microphase separation. Originally block copolymers were produced with a low polydispersity index (PDI) as they...
