New surfactants forming anisotropic micelles and microemulsions in CO2
An analogue of the popular surfactant AOT with isopropyl glycol tails (IG-AOT, Figure.1) has been recently designed as a co-surfactant for water-in-CO2 (w/c) systems: stable... -
Controlling the morphology of fullerene-free polymer solar cells using additi...
We have recently demonstrated, using small angle neutron scattering in combination with other techniques, that in organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) the additive... -
Interaction of keratin with surfactants studied by SANS
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding how keratin, an important protein component of hair and skin, interacts with ionic surfactants using... -
Novel gels with supercritical carbon dioxide
This proposal is to probe the gel structure with High Pressure SANS (HP-SANS) using an in-line pressure cell. The ability to control the properties of supercritical CO2,... -
Component Characterization
Time is required on Loq to study the bulk properties of commercial systems under shear. This time will come under existing NDA with Lubrizol. -
Mechanism of Wax Anti-Settling Additives and their role within Wax Crystallis...
Wax anti-settling additives are used to limit the sedimentation of wax crystals by reducing the crystal size and improving the stability of the wax crystal suspensions. The two... -
Structural Investigation of Co-polymer and Comb-polymer Solid State Electroly...
This proposal regards studies of the structure and morphology of polymer electrolytes which can be used in Li-batteries. These electrolytes are effectively used in electric... -
A new approach to viscosity enhancement of oils and CO2
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... -
Hydration effects in gels for water splitting.
Storing the energy available from the sun as a fuel that can be used anytime is a major global challenge. Organic materials synthesised from abundant elements that can harness... -
Calcium and pH induced changes in silk solutions
Spider silks are known to have outstanding mechanical properties yet there is still much unknown about how the initial structure, storage and transformation of the silk proteins...
