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... -
Bulk interactions of surfactant molecules in aqueous particle suspensions
Surfactants represent an important class of compounds owing to their ability to readily locate at interfaces, be it airliquid, liquidliquid or solidliquid. As such,... -
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... -
FRET-based Conjugated Polymer Macromolecular Switch for Bio-Anion Recognition
We intend to study the aggregation behaviour of the all-conjugated block catiocopolyelectrolyte PF2/6-P3MAHT in the presence of the biomacroanion guanosine triphosphate (GTP) in... -
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... -
Biomolecular Cryoprotection in Deep Eutectic Solvents
Protecting biomolecules, such as proteins and enzymes, from the effects of cooling and freezing is important for the storage and handling of pharmaceuticals. Deep eutectic... -
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... -
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...
